Mr Fulford said the court took into account the time Lubanga has already spent
behind bars since March 2006, meaning he will effectively spend eight years

Lubanga had pleaded not guilty. At a hearing on June 13, he said his
conviction had hit him “like a bullet in the face”.
“I am being presented as a warlord … but I never accepted or tolerated
such enlistments taking place,” he said.
The ICC has issued four arrest warrants for crimes in the DR
Congo since opening its doors in 2003 and has faced criticism for
spending £750 million with few results, and for concentrating its firepower
on relatively soft targets in Africa.
