PART I. GENERAL PROVISIONS
Chapter IX Consolidated Punishments
(Consolidated Punishments)
Article 45 Two or more crimes which have been committed but for which no judgment has yet become final and binding are to constitute crimes for consolidated punishments. When a judgment imposing imprisonment without work or a greater punishment becomes final and binding for a crime, only that crime and other crimes committed before such judgment became final and binding constitute crimes for a consolidated punishment.
3. When a person has been convicted of more than one crime, the Court shall pronounce a sentence for each crime and a joint sentence specifying the total period of imprisonment. This period shall be no less than the highest individual sentence pronounced and shall not exceed 30 years imprisonment or a sentence of life imprisonment in conformity with article 77, paragraph 1 (b).
