32. How would an investigation into a crime of aggression be opened?
If the United Nations Security Council determines that an act of aggression has
been committed, the ICC Prosecutor can decide to open an investigation, under the
conditions mentioned above.
Otherwise, the Prosecution may examine the situation and, based on its
assessment, may notify the United Nations Secretary General of the situation.
If, within six months of being notified by the Prosecution, the United Nations
Security Council does not make a determination on whether or not an act
of aggression has been committed, the Prosecutor may still proceed with an
investigation into a crime of aggression, subject to authorisation by the
ICC’s Pre-Trial Division.
