Contributor(s): Professor Claus Kress | Eighty years on from the start of the Nuremberg War Crime Trial in November 1945 we ask what is the future of the crime of aggression after the creation of the ICC in 1998 and the Ukraine war? At this event, Claus Kress, a leading German academic, judge and currently Special Adviser to the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court on the Crime of Aggression, will be in conversation with Gerry Simpson, a legal adviser at the ICC negotiations in Rome and at the UN and a professor of international law here at LSE. They will discuss the prospects for international law and the crime of aggression after Ukraine and in the light of the historic first international trials of war criminals at Nuremberg.
