Ratko Mladić
Ratko Mladićconvicted war criminal and general of the Bosnian Serb military (1942–2026), the former Bosnian Serb general convicted over wartime atrocities in Bosnia, died at 84 in a U.N. prison hospital in The Hague while serving a life sentence. He was sentenced in 2017 for genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity committed during the 1992-95 wars in the former Yugoslavia. The genocide conviction centered on the 1995 Srebrenica massacre, in which forces under his command killed about 8,000 Muslim men and boys. Mladić evaded capture for 16 years after the Bosnian war before his arrest in 2011.
