Current Events
Radovan Karadzic, the former Bosnian Serb leader, was convicted of genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity by a United Nations tribunal in March for leading a campaign of terror against civilians in the deadliest conflict in Europe since World War II.
Mr. Karadzic, 70, was sentenced to 40 years in prison for his role in lethal ethnic cleansing operations, the siege of Sarajevo and the slaughter of 8,000 Muslim men and boys in Srebrenica in 1995.
Karadzic was convicted of genocide for the Srebrenica massacre which aimed to kill “every able-bodied male” in the town and systematically exterminate the Bosnian Muslim population there. He was also found guilty of persecution, extermination, deportation, forcible transfer and murder in connection with a campaign to drive Bosnian Muslims and Croats out of villages claimed by Serb forces during the country’s civil war from 1992 to 1995.
This has caused a lot of grieving in Bosnia and has taken a toll on the families of the victims from the war and the wrong doings this man has caused. He was a trusted leader and even says he believes all Muslims to be friends. However, after being charged of these crimes it is obvious that he is not the leader Bosnia thought he was.
