Agresioni

Agresioni refers to the act of initiating an attack or hostile action against another entity, typically a state or its armed forces. This term is commonly used in international relations and law to describe the first use of force in violation of international norms or treaties. The concept of "agresioni" is central to the understanding of international peace and security, as it often triggers a response from the international community, including sanctions or collective defense measures.

The definition of "agresioni" can be complex and has been subject to various interpretations and debates. Generally, it encompasses not only direct armed attacks but also actions such as the invasion or occupation of another state's territory, bombardment of its territory, blockades of its ports or coasts, and attacks on its land, sea, or air forces. The United Nations Charter prohibits the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state, with exceptions for self-defense and actions authorized by the UN Security Council.

Identifying an act of "agresioni" often involves a careful assessment of the facts and circumstances, considering the intent of the actor and the scale and effects of the action. Distinguishing between legitimate self-defense and "agresioni" is a critical aspect of international law. The consequences of being labeled as an aggressor can be severe, including legal accountability under international criminal law and broad international condemnation.
