answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/06/2018 answer text <p>The Kampala amendments are activated on 17 July 2018. Thereafter, the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court over the crime of aggression only applies, in the absence of a UN Security Council referral, to acts of aggression committed by States Parties that have ratified or accepted the amendments to the Rome Statute on the crime of aggression. The UK has no plans to ratify these amendments, as we believe that the UN Security Council should be the body responsible for determining when an act of aggression has occurred.</p> answering member constituency Cities of London and Westminster answering member printed Mark Field question first answered 08/06/2018 10:37:18 answering member 1405 label Biography information for Mark Field
