The definition of the crime of aggression in Article 8 bis of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (Rome Statute) stipulates that a State act of aggression is a material element of the crime, suggesting an intrinsic link between individual criminal responsibility and State responsibility for aggression. This article argues that the Rome Statute provides a legal basis for the International Criminal Court (ICC) to determine State responsibility for aggression when considering the material elements of the crime of aggression, which has important practical and conceptual implications for the law of international responsibility. Although the content of State responsibility flows automatically from the breach of the obligation, it is argued that a finding of aggression pursuant to Article 8 bis of the Rome Statute may be considered as a form of satisfaction for the purposes of Article 37 of the 2001 ILC Articles on Responsibility of States for Internationally Wrongful Acts (2001 ILC Articles). Furthermore, the material element of the crime in Article 8 bis of the Rome Statute requires the act of aggression by its character, gravity, and scale to constitute a manifest violation of the Charter of the United Nations, in line with the nomenclature used within the 2001 ILC Articles regarding serious breaches of obligations arising from peremptory norms of general international law (jus cogens). The article considers the important role that the ICC may play in relation to serious breaches of the jus cogens obligation to refrain from an act of aggression.

国际刑事法院的侵略和国家责任

第八条侵略罪的定义之二《国际刑事法院罗马规约》（《罗马规约》）规定，国家侵略行为是犯罪的实质要件，表明个人刑事责任与国家侵略责任之间存在内在联系。本文认为，《罗马规约》为国际刑事法院（ICC）在考虑侵略罪的物质要件时确定侵略的国家责任提供了法律依据，这对国际责任法具有重要的实践意义和概念意义。尽管国家责任的内容自动源于违反义务，但有人认为，根据第 8 条认定侵略之二就 2001 年国际法委员会关于国家对国际不法行为的责任的条款（2001 年国际法委员会条款）第 37 条而言，罗马规约的规定可被视为一种满足形式。此外，第 8 条中犯罪的物质要件之二根据 2001 年国际劳工大会条款中关于严重违反强制性规范所产生的义务的术语，《罗马规约》要求侵略行为的性质、严重性和规模构成对《联合国宪章》的明显违反一般国际法（强制法）。文章认为国际刑事法院在严重违反强制法不采取侵略行为的义务。
