How might that have gone? Let's take Nicaragua as an example. So, the World Court demanded that the US cease its crimes immediately, and pay massive reparations. Nicaragua took its case the the UNSC, which is the only body that could enforce the decision.
The UNSC considered a resolution instructing the US to observe international law. More specifically, it called for all member states to observe international law. Can you remember what the US did? That's right, it vetoed the resolution.
So, it's kinda like me raping a woman, then sitting as a judge at my own trial, and instructing the Jury to find me not guilty.

Well, I gave you the definition. A war of aggression is one NOT waged out of self defence, OR not sanctioned by the UNSC. The iraq war qualifies as a war of aggression on both these counts.
