CRIMES COMMITTED IN SREBRENICA AND SARAJEVO BEFORE THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL TRIBUNAL FOR THE FORMER YUGOSLAVIA. RATKO MLADIC´ CASE

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to present the prognosis of the judgment of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) in the Ratko Mladic´ case. Mladic´, who served as a general of the Bosnian Serb army, is responsible for the crimes committed in Srebrenica and Sarajevo. Based on the list of charges against Mladic´, and taking into account the previous ICTY judgments, the authoress makes an attempts to prove that Mladic´ will be convicted for crimes of genocide as well as unlawful attacks and terrorising the civilian population (the latter ones being war crimes). Moreover, General Mladic´ as the chief of staff of the Bosnian Serb army was giving orders to his subordinates including generals Krstic´ and Galic´. An analysis of their cases has also been made for the purpose of the paper, to the extent useful and meaningful to the Mladic´ case. It is then concluded that having been the Krtic´’s and Galic´’s commander, Mladic´ should also be found guilty of the same crimes they have been found to have committed.
