aggression

 
     
  An attack by one state on another that is unwarranted in any one or more of three respects: politics, law, and morality. At all these levels there is often disagreement as to whether an attack is warranted or not. The UN has tried to clarify the matter by seeking a definition of aggression and in 1974 its General Assembly managed to agree on one by consensus. But the eight-article definition still left much scope for argument, in any particular case, about its proper interpretation and application.
