The Review Conference of the Rome Statute constitutes a unique opportunity for delegates of States, representatives of intergovernmental organizations and civil society organizations to assess the conditions under which the founding treaty has been implemented.
From 31 May to 14 June in Kampala, Uganda, discussions to further develop international criminal justice will focus on various amendment proposals to the Rome Statute, including the possible deletion of Article 124, introducing changes to Article 8, and the definition of the crime of aggression. It is expected that if agreements are reached amongst States Parties, some amendments will be introduced to the founding treaty impacting the operational framework of the International Criminal Court.
