But (thanks ceejayoz) https://legal.un.org/icc/statute/iccq&a.htm https://legal.un.org/icc/statute/iccq&a.htm:
> Consistent with international human rights standards, the International Criminal Court has no competence to impose a death penalty. The Court can impose lengthy terms of imprisonment of up to 30 years or life when so justified by the gravity of the case. The Court may, in addition, order a fine, forfeiture of proceeds, property or assets derived from the committed crime.
