Genocide means an act committed with the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group. In particular, those specified acts are killing members of a group, causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of a group, imposing measures intended to prevent births within a group, or forcibly transferring children of a group to another group.

Aggression refers to the planning, preparation, initiation or execution of an act of using armed force by a state against the sovereignty, territorial integrity or political independence of another state. For this offense, this may include invasion, military occupation, and annexation by the use of force, blockade of the ports or coasts, if such an act is a manifest violation of the Charter of the United Nations. Additionally, the perpetrator must be a person who is in a position from which he or she can control or direct the political or military action of a state.
