Abstract

Cyber aggression is one of the crimes that has been discussed in the international legal regime due to the late progress of technology. This qualitative research was conducted in terms of purpose, practical and in terms of gathering information in a documentary way and through laws, international documents, the obtained information was analyzed in a descriptive-analytical form in order to answer this question: if the Jurisdiction of confirmation the cyber aggression by the Security Council is not exclusive, what is the function and influence of the United Nations Security Council on the development of jurisdiction of other authorities such as the International Criminal Court? The findings of the research show that Article 8 of the Statute of the International Criminal Court does not include the actions of private individuals, only if a cyber attack can be considered as an aggression if it is an "armed attack". Law 12 of the Tallinn guidelines is also clear in this regard. The competence of the Security Council in the matter of verifying cyber aggression has precedence and priority, this precedence does not constitute exclusive jurisdiction. The jurisdictional regime of the court in recognizing the crime of aggression in the case of government referrals and appropriate investigations can be applied only after approval or acceptance by each of two aggressor and the alleged victim member state. The Security Council can refer a situation to the International Criminal Court or suspend the prosecution and investigation of the Court temporarily, extendable and obliged for one years.
