Meanings

1. (qualifier:international law) A military conflict waged without the justification of self-defense, usually for territorial gain and subjugation.
   • The crime of war, the crime of the war of aggression, and the crime of aggression are clearly three different crimes with three different facts of the case. For a complex judgment of war, they nonetheless overlap with one another, and their separation seems to a large section of public opinion a mere juridical artifice. 2011, Carl Schmitt, edited by Timothy Nunan, Writings on War, Polity, →ISBN, page 149:
