Mladic Dead: War Crimes and Legacy | Rochester News

Ratko Mladic, the notorious Bosnian Serb general convicted of genocide and war crimes including the Srebrenica massacre that killed over 8,000 men, has died at 84 while serving a life sentence in The Hague. Once hailed by some as a national hero in Serbia and Bosnia, he became one of the most wanted war criminals after fleeing for years — eventually captured in 2011. His actions during the Balkan wars claimed more than 100,000 lives and displaced a million. His 2017 conviction was a historic moment for victims seeking justice, and his death now marks the end of an era for one of Europe’s most brutal conflicts since WWII.
