It was the deliberations of [the third Special Committee] that finally achieved a definition acceptable to the international community as a whole and it was adopted without vote by the [General Assembly] in December, 1974. 1, record 6, English, - aggression
Record number: 6, Textual support number: 2 OBS
A term fundamental to international argument, which, since the First World War, has come to replace the idea of an "offensive" act. All attempts to arrive at a definition are motivated by the desire to outlaw aggressive war, under the supposition that if there were no aggressors, but only states for "self-defense", then there would be no wars. Aggression is, therefore, the initiating act expressive of an intention to fight. 2, record 6, English, - aggression
