The appeals judgement in the case against Ratko Mladic, the former commander of the Bosnian Serb armed forces, was delivered by the International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals today (8 June), prompting UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres to issue a statement, urging “all those in positions of power to refrain from denying the seriousness of the crimes that have been adjudicated.”
Mladic is “one of the highest-ranking officials to be tried by the International Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia and the Residual Mechanism,” according to the statement, which also notes that the judgement is “a reflection of the international community’s commitment to international criminal justice and the fight against impunity” and “another vital step towards coming to a conclusion.”
Mladi was found guilty of genocide, persecution, extermination, murder, deportation, and inhumane act of forcible transfer in the Srebrenica area in 1995; of persecution, extermination, murder, deportation, and inhumane act of forcible transfer in municipalities throughout Bosnia and Herzegovina; of murder, terror, and unlawful attacks on civilians in Sarajevo; and of hostage-taking of UN personnel. In 1992, he was acquitted of genocide charges in a number of communities around Bosnia and Herzegovina.
