The primary purpose of the Review Conference is to discuss specific amendments to the Rome Statute, particularly the amendment proposals on the revision of Article 124 of the Rome Statute, the definition of crime of aggression and the inclusion of the use of certain weapons as war crimes in the context of an armed conflict not of an international character.
The Review Conference presents a unique opportunity for global reflection on international criminal justice for the world’s worst crimes (genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity). Moreover, it will be open to participation by civil society, including non-governmental organizations and representatives of victims’ organizations that have received a standing invitation from the General Assembly of the United Nations.
