THE RELEVANCE OF THE TITULESCU-LITVINOV CONVENTIONS FOR THE DEFINITION OF AGGRESSION 80 YEARS AFTER THEIR SIGNING

Summary/Abstract: The present article points out the importance and actuality of the Titulescu-Litvinov Conventions for the Definition of Aggression of July 1933 as well as their impact on international law, especially on the law on armed conflicts and on the prohibition of the use of force. It shows the context of the preparation of the Conventions, including not only the bilateral relations between Romania and USSR but also the subsequent evolutions in the shaping of the definition of aggression in the UN framework, and in the International Criminal Court (ICC) context – the definition of the crime of aggression in the Rome Statute of ICC, as a result of the 2010 Kampala Review Conference, to which Romania has also made its contribution.
