If you mean armed aggression, then what justifies it is the intolerability of the status quo. If the status quo is tolerable, or there is reasonable promise of resolution through diplomatic means, then armed aggression is not justified. If you mean any sort of aggression, including the aggressive pursuit of legal remedies, the employment of sanctions, and so other such ways of seeking to impose one's will, I would say that the despair of a negotiated settlement, coupled with the well- founded belief that one cannot honorably accede to the status quo, suffices to justify aggression.
