TITLE IV: JURISDICTIONAL GUARANTEES AND ACTIONS OF DEFENSE
CHAPTER I: Jurisdictional Guarantees
Article 118
II. The maximum criminal sentence shall be thirty years of deprivation of liberty without the right to pardon.
Artículo 23.
I. Toda persona tiene derecho a la libertad y seguridad personal. La libertad personal sólo podrá ser restringida en los límites señalados por la ley, para asegurar el descubrimiento de la verdad histórica en la actuación de las instancias jurisdiccionales.
II. Se evitará la imposición a los adolescentes de medidas privativas de libertad. Todo adolescente que se encuentre privado de libertad recibirá atención preferente por parte de las autoridades judiciales, administrativas y policiales. Éstas deberán asegurar en todo momento el respeto a su dignidad y la reserva de su identidad. La detención deberá cumplirse en recintos distintos de los asignados para los adultos, teniendo en cuenta las necesidades propias de su edad.
III. Nadie podrá ser detenido, aprehendido o privado de su libertad, salvo en los casos y según las formas establecidas por la ley. La ejecución del mandamiento requerirá que éste emane de autoridad competente y que sea emitido por escrito.
IV. Toda persona que sea encontrada en delito flagrante podrá ser aprehendida por cualquier otra persona, aun sin mandamiento. El único objeto de la aprehensión será su conducción ante autoridad judicial competente, quien deberá resolver su situación jurídica en el plazo máximo de veinticuatro horas.
V. En el momento en que una persona sea privada de su libertad, será informada de los motivos por los que se procede a su detención, así como de la denuncia o querella formulada en su contra.
1. Subject to article 110, the Court may impose one of the following penalties on a person convicted of a crime referred to in article 5 of this Statute:
(a) Imprisonment for a specified number of years, which may not exceed a maximum of 30 years; or
(b) A term of life imprisonment when justified by the extreme gravity of the crime and the individual circumstances of the convicted person.
2. In addition to imprisonment, the Court may order:
(a) A fine under the criteria provided for in the Rules of Procedure and Evidence;
(b) A forfeiture of proceeds, property and assets derived directly or indirectly from that crime, without prejudice to the rights of bona fide third parties.
(a) A sentence of imprisonment shall be served in a State designated by the Court from a list of States which have indicated to the Court their willingness to accept sentenced persons.
(b) At the time of declaring its willingness to accept sentenced persons, a State may attach conditions to its acceptance as agreed by the Court and in accordance with this Part.
(c) A State designated in a particular case shall promptly inform the Court whether it accepts the Court's designation.
2.
(a) The State of enforcement shall notify the Court of any circumstances, including the exercise of any conditions agreed under paragraph 1, which could materially affect the terms or extent of the imprisonment. The Court shall be given at least 45 days' notice of any such known or foreseeable circumstances. During this period, the State of enforcement shall take no action that might prejudice its obligations under article 110.
(b) Where the Court cannot agree to the circumstances referred to in subparagraph (a), it shall notify the State of enforcement and proceed in accordance with article 104, paragraph 1.
3. In exercising its discretion to make a designation under paragraph 1, the Court shall take into account the following:
(a) The principle that States Parties should share the responsibility for enforcing sentences of imprisonment, in accordance with principles of equitable distribution, as provided in the Rules of Procedure and Evidence;
(b) The application of widely accepted international treaty standards governing the treatment of prisoners;
(c) The views of the sentenced person;
(d) The nationality of the sentenced person;
(e) Such other factors regarding the circumstances of the crime or the person sentenced, or the effective enforcement of the sentence, as may be appropriate in designating the State of enforcement.
4. If no State is designated under paragraph 1, the sentence of imprisonment shall be served in a prison facility made available by the host State, in accordance with the conditions set out in the headquarters agreement referred to in article 3, paragraph 2. In such a case, the costs arising out of the enforcement of a sentence of imprisonment shall be borne by the Court.
1. The enforcement of a sentence of imprisonment shall be subject to the supervision of the Court and shall be consistent with widely accepted international treaty standards governing treatment of prisoners.
2. The conditions of imprisonment shall be governed by the law of the State of enforcement and shall be consistent with widely accepted international treaty standards governing treatment of prisoners; in no case shall such conditions be more or less favourable than those available to prisoners convicted of similar offences in the State of enforcement.
3. Communications between a sentenced person and the Court shall be unimpeded and confidential.
