WLA 19. Establishes A World Criminal Code Penalty Classification System
World Criminal Code Penalty Classification
Short Title: World Penal Code
Recognizing that prior world legislation of the provisional World Parliament includes numerous definitions of criminal activities;
Recognizing also that generally accepted prior international law, subject to deliberation for amendment and adoption as world legislation also includes numerous definitions of criminal activities; and
Recognizing that for the purpose of justice and impartiality, the judges of the World Court must have on hand penalty classifications with which to declare reasonably fair and equitable sentences to individuals convicted of violating world legislation,
Therefore, this seventh session of the provisional World Parliament hereby adopts this Act for a Criminal Code Penalty Classification.
1. Criminal offences are divided into seven felony classifications, three misdemeanour classifications and petty offences.
1.1 Except for class 1 felonies, there is a presumptive term of imprisonment for each felony. This term may be increased or decreased depending on the nature of the offence, the defendant’s criminal history and the existence of any mitigating or aggravating circumstances.
1.2. The provisional World Parliament notes that historically penal imprisonment systems have been problematic. This Act directs the Penal Department to work together with the Department of Convict Management, Probation & Parole to design less disruptive and more humane measures for managing the penal system. The Departments shall report these plans to the provisional World Parliament or World Parliament for further legislative action. Plans may include electronically supervised house arrest or electronically supervised internal exile within the Earth Federation. instead of placement within an Earth Federation prison facility. The World Court, the World Attorneys General, and the World Ombudsmus shall consider the conditions for eligibility for house arrest and for internal exile programs.
1.3 The provisional World Parliament notes that historically some criminal justice systems have operated in an illegally discriminatory manner. This Act directs the World Ombudsmus, if operational, to monitor the criminal justice system and to take legal action if the system or parts of the system are in violation of basic human rights, as are listed in the Earth Constitution, Article 12, in the Statute of the World Court of Human Rights (World Legislative Act #15) or in other generally recognized Bills of Rights.
1.4. Fines may also be imposed.
2. For clarity, draft proposals for new world legislation or World Parliament amendments containing penal provisions to previously existing world legislation or to generally accepted international law, shall state the criminal penalty as a classified offence, at the end of any section or provision defining a prohibited activity, for examples: (class 4 felony), or (class 2 misdemeanor), instead of as a specific penalty, for example: (imprisonment for 2 to 7 years and a fine of up to &150.000 Earth credits). This provision directs the Commission for Legislative Review to
insert the respective penalty classifications defined in the addendum to this world legislation into the respective sections or provisions of previously adopted world legislation of the provisional World Parliament.
3. Jail and Prison terms (See chart of sentencing parameters.)
Crime | First offence | Second offence | Third or further offence |
Class 1 Misdemeanor | probation to 1 month district jail | probation to 3 months district jail | one to six months district jail |
Class 2 Misdemeanor | probation to 3 monthsdistrict jail | 3 to 6 months district jail | 6 to 9 months district jail |
Class 3 Misdemeanor | probation to 6 monthsdistrict jail | 6 to 9 monthsdistrict jail | 9 months to 1 year district jail |
Felony classifications in this section are in terms of years to be spent in a world federal prison, or under other supervision of the Corrections Department as per Article 1.2 of this World Penal Code. | |||
Crime | First offence | Second offence | Third or further offence |
Class 1 Felony | probation to 1 year | probation to 2 years | 2 years to 5 years |
Class 2 Felony | 1 to 2 years | 2 to 5 years | 5 years to 10 years |
Class 3 Felony | 2 to 5 years | 5 to 10 years | 10 years to 25 years |
Class 4 Felony | 5 to 10 years | 10 to 25 years | 20 years to life |
Class 5 Felony | 10 to 25 years | 20 years to life | 25 years to life |
Class 6 Felony | 20 years to life | 25 years to life | life imprisonment |
Class 7 Felony | 25 years to life | life imprisonment | life imprisonment |
4. Payment of fines by individual convicts. Payment of fine depends on convicts’ ability to pay. Upon court order, the Earth Financial Credit Corporation shall determine ability. Restitution assessments may be declared in addition to, or in place of, fines. Convicts must pay fines in Earth currency or Earth credits. The Court may assign an installment schedule for fines, considering recommendation from the Earth Financial Credit Corporation. If the convict is also sentenced to jail or prison, the Court may order that the payment begins after completing the jail or prison sentence. Since the relative value of the Earth unit of credit is unknown, and in fairness against disparity in human earnings, fines are stated in terms of portions of income of the convict, based on the convict’s income for the year before, ending on the date on which the offence was committed.
Sentencing parameters for payment of fines by individual convicts in terms of income are set by the following graph:
Crime | First offence | Second offence | Third or further offence |
Class 1 Misdemeanor | up to 1 week | 1 week to 2 weeks’ | 1 week to 1 month’s |
Class 2 Misdemeanor | up to 2 weeks’ | 2 weeks’ to 1 month’s | 1 month to 2 months’ |
Class 3 Misdemeanor | 2 weeks’ to 1 month’s | 1 month to 2 months’ | 6 weeks to 3 months’ |
Class 1 Felony | up to 3 months’ | 2 months’ to 6 months’ | 4 months’ to 1 year’s |
Class 2 Felony | up to 1 year’s | 6 months’ to 3 years | 1 to 5 years |
Class 3 Felony | three months’ to 1 year’s | 6 months’ to five years | 5 years’ up to forfeiture of all property, save that necessary for reasonable decent living. |

5. Fines for enterprises. Enterprises for which the officers or shareholders knew that an employee or representative committed an offence, but for which the enterprise did not hold the employee or representative legally accountable by legal charges, may be assessed a fine by the World Court. Restitution assessments may be declared in addition to, or in place of, fines. Since the relative value of the Earth unit of credit is unknown, and in fairness against disparity, fines are stated in terms of portions of income for the enterprise, based on the enterprise’s income for the year before, ending on the date on which the offence was committed. Sentenced enterprises must pay in Earth currency or Earth credits. Upon court order, the Earth Financial Credit Corporation shall determine ability to pay. The Court may assign an installment schedule for fines, considering recommendation from the Earth Financial Credit Corporation. One ground for revocation of business license is an enterprise’s inability or professed inability to pay an assessed fine or restitution.
Sentencing parameters for enterprises in terms of organizational income are set by the following graph:
Crime | First offence | Second offence | Third or further offence |
Class 1 Misdemeanor | up to 1 month’s | up to 3 months | 1 to 6 months’ |
Class 2 Misdemeanor | up to 3 months | 1 to 6 months’ | 3 to 9 months’ |
Class 3 Misdemeanor | 1 to 6 months’ | 3 to 9 months’ | 6 months’ to 1 year’s |
Class 1 Felony | up to 1 year’s | 2 years’ to 5 years’ | 5 years’ up to all assets and revocation of license |
Class 2 Felony | 2 years’ to 5 years’ | 5 years’ up to all assets and revocation of license | 10 years’ up to all assets and revocation of license |

Class 6 Felony | 20 years’ up to all assets and revocation of license | all assets and revocation of license | |
Class 7 Felony | all assets and revocation of license |
6. Petty offences
All lesser offences are termed “petty offences”, with no imprisonment authorized and a maximum fine of one weeks’ income in Earth credits. Any offence defined outside the criminal code that lacks either designation as a felony or misdemeanour or specification of the classification is a petty offence.
7. Mitigating or aggravating circumstances
Circumstances determined by the Court to be mitigating may reduce the prescribed term and fine by up to 50%. Circumstances determined to be aggravating may increase the prescribed term and fine by up to 50%. Mitigating or aggravating circumstances are partially listed in WLA#13, Article 4.3.2., and in the Addendum to this Act, adopted from Elements of Crime 8 (2) (b) (xx)
8. Extenuating circumstances – This Act recognizes that under some conditions there may be extenuating circumstances. Upon trial and disposition, the World Court may reduce penalties or drop the criminal charges, or otherwise dismiss a case, if there are justifiable extenuating circumstances. The World Court and World Juries are to consider cases of extenuating circumstances in good faith. (For examples, refer to WLA#13, Article 4.3.4.)
9. This Act recommends the World Court to investigate the causes of an offense, if the Court convicts a person for a third or further offense.

(N.B. Elements of Crime currently needs significant adjustment by the World Parliament to be compatible with the Earth Constitution and Earth Federation. The provisional World Parliament directs the Enforcement System and the World Courts to consider constitutionality in any cases resulting from violations defined in Elements of Crime.
Non-use of full numeric codification in this penal code is a temporary expedient, to help link the world crimes codified to the Elements of Crimes compiled by the Assembly of States Parties. Eventually, full numeric codification will be completed.
