Ratko Mladic, the former general in charge of Bosnian Serb forces during the Balkans war in the early 1990s has been convicted of 10 charges of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes at an international tribunal in The Hague. He was jailed for life. The presiding judge, Alphons Orie, spelled out the crimes Mladic masterminded during the Bosnian war. “On 13 and 14 July 1995, approximately 1,000 unarmed Bosnian and Muslim males including children and elderly were executed in Kravica Warehouse. On 16 July 1995 between 1,000 and 1,200 in the Branjevo military farm were summarily executed.” The so-called “butcher of Bosnia” was led away from the dock before the verdicts were announced, after shouting at the judge, “It's a lie. Everything you said in this courtroom is a lie.” Ratko Mladic led Bosnian Serbian forces during the 1992-1995 Bosnian war. He oversaw the siege of Sarajevo, where snipers and heavy artillery pounded the city and cut off supplies, killing thousands. Judges also found that Mladic had, in their words, “significantly contributed” to the massacre at Srebrenica, when more than 7,000 Muslim men and boys were murdered. Kosovo welcomed the conviction of Mladic. Kosovo's Foreign Ministry said the verdict marked an act of “international justice and satisfaction for the Bosnia war victims.” 1990年代巴尔干战争期间担任前波斯尼亚塞族军队领导人的姆拉迪奇被海牙的一个国际法庭判定犯有10项种族灭绝、战争罪，以及反人类罪，被判处终身监禁。 |
