Karadzic denies Bosnia war crimes
Former Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic, on trial over his alleged role in some of the worst atrocities in Europe since World War Two, says he should be praised for promoting peace in the Balkans rather than charged with war crimes. Ref. Source 1
Radovan Karadzic, former leader of the breakaway Serb Republic in Bosnia, is guilty of war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide, the International Criminal Tribunal ruled Thursday.
Nicknamed the "Butcher of Bosnia," Karadzic was sentenced to 40 years in prison. The charge of genocide related to the massacre of Bosnian Muslim men and boys in Srebrenica in July 1995, the worst mass killing in Europe since World War II.
Karadzic was "Consistently informed" about Bosnian Serb forces targeting civilians in Sarajevo, presiding Judge O-Gwon Kwok said as he delivered part of a long, complex verdict on 11 counts of war crimes relating to the Bosnian conflict from 1992 to 1995. Ref. CNN.
Catch then, lock them up and make them shame for their crimes. Killers like him might not feel shame because killing the amount of people they did leaves them without any remorse for anyone.
