1.This research is to make clear historic significance of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court of 1998 in studing the elaborating processes of so-called "core crimes" under the jurisdiction of the Court, that is, the crime of genocide ; crimes against humanity ; war crimes ; and the crime of aggression. 2. First, after historical survey of the proposals of an International Criminal Court since Paris Peace Conference of 1919, including International Military Tribunals of Nuremberg and Tokyo as well as as hoc International Tribunals for the Former Yugoslavia and Rwanda (ICTY and ICTR) established by the resolutions of the Security Council of the UN, this research advanced the study of elaboration of the Draft Statute of the International Criminal Court in the UN and diplomatic Conference of Rome. As State practices relating to the signature and the ratification of the Statute, the arguments of the United States and the Consitutional debate for the ratification by France have been analysed.
3.Secondly, Among the core crimes, the crime of aggression which is not defined in the Rome Statute is studied through "crime against peace" treated in the Nuremberg Trial.
