Summary/Abstract: This study proposes an overview over one of the most contentious questions of interpretation linked to the Kampala Amendment on crime of aggression. The question concerns whether whether the ICC would have jurisdiction in case of an alleged act of aggression commited by a State Party to the Rome Statute which has not ratified/accepted the Kampala Amendment against the territory of a State Party which has ratified/accepted the Amendment. The study exposes the two opposite views and tries to identify the correct question. Moreover, a very brief assesment of the interpretative approach is provided.
