Nuremberg Prosecutor Ben Ferencz speaks out on the Crime of Aggression
The indefatigable Ben Ferencz (90 years old), a prosecutor at the Nuremberg Tribunals, has fought for international justice all his life, and was at the Rome Conference in 1998 when the International Criminal Court (ICC) treaty (Rome Statute) was created. Now he is at the ICC Review Conference, where a debate is raging on how to define the Crime of Aggression, and whether the ICC should have jurisdiction over it, or the UN Security Council (most powerful countries want the UNSC to control the Crime of Aggression).
