War crimes judges uphold genocide conviction and life sentence against former Bosnian Serb military leader Ratko Mladic over Srebrenica massacre
He was also found guilty of orchestrating a wider campaign of "ethnic cleansing" to drive Muslims and Bosnians out of key areas to create a Greater Serbia as Yugoslavia tore itself apart after the fall of communism.But Mladic, who gives his age as 78 but it is 79 according to the court, insisted during an appeal hearing last year that he was a "target of the NATO alliance" and derided the court as a "child of western powers.
They will be watching for the findings of presiding judge Prisca Nyambe of Zambia, who gave a dissenting opinion in the 2012 verdict of Mladic's right-hand man Zdravko Tolimir, which questioned the basis for his genocide conviction. Bosnian Muslim women await the start of a TV broadcast of the final verdict of former Bosnian Serb military leader Ratko Mladic on June 8, 2021. Mladic is the last of the Serb trio to face justice, with Milosevic dying of a heart attack in his cell in The Hague in 2006 before his trial had finished, while Karadzic is serving a life sentence for genocide in Srebrenica.
