The icc’s legal framework combines continental and common law features. The sentencing regime provides for a separate hearing process unknown to the continentals. The principle of proportionality governs sentencing determination. Proportionality is met by analysing gravity and moral blameworthiness. In Ongwen, the icc should address his moral blameworthiness by considering his unique dual status as a former abducted child soldier and perpetrator, the expert evidence regarding the lra and the Acholi culture and history. The Court sentenced Ongwen in a rather formal traditional continental way. However, conviction is not the icc’s ultimatum, and sentencing should not be a pure side effect of conviction. When the icc tries cases of non-western peoples, it is essential to express its understanding and respect for diversity. By addressing cultural, social, and historical aspects of the case and the offender as part of the sentencing reasoning, the icc performs the balancing process needed for proportionality.

国际商会的法律框架结合了大陆法系和普通法系的特点。量刑制度规定了大陆人所不知道的单独听证程序。量刑决定遵循比例原则。通过分析严重性和道德责任来满足相称性。在翁文一案中，国际刑事法院应考虑他作为前被绑架儿童兵和肇事者的独特双重身份、有关上帝抵抗军和阿乔利文化和历史的专家证据，解决他的道德责任问题。法院以相当正式的传统欧陆方式对翁文进行了判决。然而，定罪并不是国际刑事法院的最后通牒，量刑也不应该纯粹是定罪的副作用。当国际刑事法院审理非西方民族的案件时，必须表达其对多样性的理解和尊重。通过将案件和罪犯的文化、社会和历史方面作为量刑推理的一部分，国际商会执行相称性所需的平衡过程。
