Glusman* Abstract In February 2022, the Russian Federation invaded the territo y of Ukraine, igniting the largestmilita y conflictin Europe since the end of the Second World War. After nearly twoyears of combat, considerable evidence has emerged that Russian forces have committed a multitude of international crimes throughout occupied Ukraine. While the ICC has jurisdiction overgenocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes committed on Ukraine's territo y, it does not have jurisdiction over the crime of aggression. As a consequence, those most responsible for launching the invasion of Ukraine are currently beyond the reach of internationaljustice. In the face of Security Council stalemate and an absence of ICC authority, this Article argues that under the powers articulated in the 1950 Uniting for Peace resolution, the General Assembly has the authority to convene an international tribunal capable ofprosecuting the crime of aggression in Ukraine. To support this conclusion, this Article proceeds ibth an analysis of the crime of aggression, prior relevant tribunals and related theories of delegation and conferral, and the General Assembly's authority in the realm of international peace, security, and justice. It concludes that under a theory of delegatedjurisdiction from Ukraine and conferred authority from the General Assembly, the international community has the tools necessary to constitute an international tribunal to prosecute the crime of aggression in Ukraine. Graham M. Glusman graduated from Columbia Law School and Amsterdam Law School i 2023 with a J.D. and an LL.M. in International Crimial Law. He earned his B.A. from Columbia University i 2019. He is currently employed at a major law firm i New York where he focuses on international arbitration and white collar litigation. The author would like to extend his gratitude to Professor Lori Damrosch at Columbia Law School and Professor Tomas Hamilton at Amsterdam Law School for their frequent encouragement and ivaluable guidance throughout the writing process. The author would also like to thank the icredibly talented editors at CJIL. All opmions expressed in this Article are the author's own and do not reflect the views of the author's employer. 1
