    10 years for its first conviction?

    I know war crimes arent exactly a daily occurence but there have been enough occasions in the last decade to have merited more convictions haven't there?

    Looks like that Kony campaign wasn't a waste of time after all.

    In March, he became the first person to be convicted by the International Criminal Court (ICC) since it was set up 10 years ago.

    Some sterling work being done in that place I'd say.

    It says in the article that he'll only serve 8 years as he has already been in custody for 6

    Lucky for him he wasn't importing garlic and evading tax as well, they would have thrown the key away
