ICC Sentences Ntaganda to 30 Years of Imprisonment

On November 7, 2019, the Trial Chamber VI of the International Criminal Court (ICC or the Court), unanimously sentenced Bosco Ntaganda to 30 years of imprisonment.[1] This is the longest sentence the Court has ever given out. Although the penalty for these crimes ranges from eight to 30 years of detention per crime, his 30-year sentence is the maximum permitted under the ICC’s Rome Statute.
