12 years since Karadžić, Mladić indictments
The two Bosnian Serb military and political leaders are charged with genocide, crimes against humanity and violations of the laws or customs of war, described as the worst crimes known to humanity and the worst crimes committed in Europe since World War II.“This is why, on this grim anniversary, I would like to take the opportunity to again call upon Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina—especially the entity of Republika Srpska—and Montenegro to do everything they can to locate and arrest Ratko Mladić, Radovan Karadžić and the remaining fugitives,” Del Ponte emphasized.
She also called upon the international community, “all states who believe in the importance of international justice and the rule of law, to maintain and increase their crucial support. Without it, we would not be able to do our important work. Without it, there would be impunity.”
Del Ponte said the fact Mladić and Karadžić are still able to evade justice was “simply unacceptable,” and added it cast a permanent shadow not only on the work of the Tribunal, but also on the international community as a whole.
