General Ratko Mladic, the former top general of the Bosnian Serb Army, was sentenced yesterday in the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) to life imprisonment for his involvement in war crimes and genocide in Bosnia-Herzegovina in the 1990s.General Mladic was a fugitive until 2011, hiding in Bosnia's Republika Srpska territory and in Serbia, often with state support. He received -- and continues to receive -- a general's pension as a retired Serbian general.
How would his criminal case have been handled differently in the Serbian military justice system?
This is the last major case for the ICTY. Remaining appeals and other ICTY business will begin to be transitioned to the Mechanism for International Criminal Tribunals (MICT), also in The Hague.
