AS IT IS 2016-03-25 Karadzic Gets 40 Years For Muslim Genocide 前波黑领导人卡拉季奇被裁定犯有种族灭绝罪
Radovan Karadzic -- the former Bosnian Serb leader -- was convicted Thursday of genocide and sentenced to 40 years in prison.
Karadzic has been called the “Butcher of Bosnia.” He was found guilty for Serb atrocities1 during the war in Bosnia from 1992-1995. About 100,000 people died in that war.
The U.N. International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) oversaw2 the trial.
Criminally responsible
ITCY said the 70-year-old Karadzic was responsible for the crime of genocide in the 1995 Srebrenica massacre3. Serb forces killed 8,000 Muslim men and boys, in what has been called the worst atrocity4 in Europe since the Holocaust5.
Judge O-Gon Kwon said the Srebrenica massacre could not have happened without Karadzic’s support.
, Karadzic was found not guilty of genocide for driving Bosnian Muslims and Croats out of villages claimed by Serb forces.
Karadzic's was the most senior Bosnian Serb leader during the Bosnian War. He oversaw the Bosnian Serb army. The official commander of the army, former General Ratko Mladic, is also on trial for genocide in The Hague.
Admitted 'moral responsibility'
In 2014, Karadzic only admitted to "moral responsibility" for his wartime actions.
In an 874-page written statement at the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, Karadzic said he was not aware at the time of the killing6 at Srebrenica.
