I couldn’t make it to Kampala for the review conference (not that anyone invited me), but luckily, the magic of the internet means I don’t have to go to find out how things are going. For two really different takes on the negotiations, I highly recommend you follow EJIL Talk’s ongoing coverage here and Brett D. Schaefer (of the Heritage Foundation) here. One interesting note: Harold Koh has become the unlikely leader of a U.S.-China-Russia movement to limit the ICC Prosecutor’s ability to initiate investigations of the crime of “aggression.” It also seems that Koh’s attempt to limit the ICC’s “aggression” jurisdiction is going to fail, but it is not clear yet. Stay tuned!
As I said at the ASIL Annual Meeting at the session on Review by the US of its approach to the ICC, maybe we need to have a review by the ICC of its approach to the US.
Best,

I’ve found the series of posts at IntLawGrrls to be quite informative.
Prof. William Schabas has a blog devoted to the conference and has been posting regular updates from day 1. He has new posts on the “main event,” the battle over the crime of aggression.

I think the IntLawGrrls posts are always quite interesting and educating actually.
Here’s the link to the IntLawGrrls series on the ICC:
