On International Day of Peace, this event aimed to shed light on those who are the victims of the crime of aggression, whose two-fold characteristic is that, on the one hand, aggression represents the gravest violation of the territorial integrity and political independence of a State. On the other, aggression brings about immense suffering and harm, including the death, of a multitude of individuals, including (i) civilians of the unlawfully attacked territories, (ii) members of the armed forces of the victim-State(s), as well as (iii) the ordinary soldiers and other subordinates of the aggressor-State who are sent to die in the battlefield in the name of an aggressive war-plan.
