Mladić, Convicted Bosnian Serb War Criminal, Dies Aged 84

Ratko Mladić, a convicted Bosnian Serb war criminal, has died at the age of 84. He was serving his sentence in prison in The Hague. In 2017, the court ruled that he was guilty of genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity. The crimes were linked to the wars in the former Yugoslavia, especially in the years 1992 to 1995. Mladić was one of the most well-known figures from that conflict, and the verdict was a major moment for international justice. His death does not change the court’s findings. It ends his time in custody, but many people will continue to discuss the impact of the violence from that period.
