Bosnian Serb war criminal Ratko Mladic, known for his role in the 1990s Bosnian War, has passed away at the age of 84 while serving a life sentence in prison. Convicted for genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity, including the Srebrenica massacre, Mladic’s death marks the end of a long legal battle following his capture in 2011. The former military leader had spent decades evading justice before being sentenced by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia. His legacy remains deeply controversial, with debates continuing over accountability for the conflicts in the Balkans.
