Ratko Mladić, the former Bosnian Serb commander, was handed a life sentence by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia after being found guilty of genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity committed during the Bosnian War. The verdict confirms the charges that he orchestrated mass killings, ethnic cleansing and the infamous Srebrenica massacre, which left thousands of Bosniak men and boys dead. The ruling underscores the international community’s commitment to holding war criminals accountable and marks a significant milestone in the pursuit of justice for the victims of the 1990s conflict.
Ratko Mladic received a life sentence from a UN court for committing atrocities during the 1992-1995 Bosnian War.
