The First UN Review Conference of the Rome Statute (1998) for an International Criminal Court (“ICC”), was held in Kampala, Uganda, this past June. A resolution amending that treaty, and setting out for the first time in international criminal law an internationally agreed definition for the “crime of aggression”, was adopted by unanimous consensus, including therefore that of the delegation of the UK, a full state party since 2001.

The Edinburgh Stop the War Coalition unites a wide variety of individuals, members and affiliated groups including campaigns, political parties, NGOs and churches. We came together in the aftermath of the terrible events of 11 September. We condemn these crimes, but believe that the military onslaught against Afghanistan has only added more innocent lives to those lost in America. We oppose the bombing campaign against Afghanistan and any future invasion of that nation or the others being targeted by the US.
