Today on the Memo #1 draft, we debate a potential war crime, aggression.
If there was only one active war on the planet, with only one capital city still divided today, would you short sell the adversaries stock market? Then invest in the largest bank on the other side?
Fines were paid, but as we get older with this graduate research, the war crime aggression cannot escape thought.

A crime of aggression is a specific type of crime where a person plans, initiates, or executes an act of aggression using state military force that violates the Charter of the United Nations. The act is judged as a violation based on its character, gravity, and scale.[1]
Acts of aggression include invasion, military occupation, annexation by the use of force, bombardment, and military blockade of ports.[1]
The crime of aggression is a crime under the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court. The definitions and the conditions for the exercise of jurisdiction over this crime were adopted by consensus on 11 June 2010 at the Kampala Review Conference by the States Parties to the Court.[2][3][4]
