This paper presents the futurology of effects of changes in the concept of invasion in the Kampala Review Conference on the quality of interaction between Iran and the International Criminal Court (ICC). This descriptive-analytical study consists of three sections, the first of which states the problem, presents the research generalities, and reviews the literature. The second section analyzes the background to the Kampala Review Conference and changes in the concept of invasion. Finally, the third section addresses the potential scenarios regarding the possible quality of interaction between Iran and the ICC based on the definition of invasion in the international criminal law. According to the final conclusion, the definition of invasion in the Kampala Review Conference and the non-exclusiveness of investigation into invasion at the discretion of the United Nations Security Council are two important factors in the success of developing companies in the conference. These two positive important factors can strike a balance in the formulation of the international criminal law, possibly change Iran’s membership status, and add Iran to the Rome Statute of the ICC.
