The International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia in The Hague found General Radislav Krstic guilty of participating in the genocide of Bosnian Muslims in the Srebrenica enclave, a haven that was under United Nations control until it came under attack from Serb Forces on July 6, 1995.
"Individually, you agreed to evil and this is why today this trial chamber convicts you and sentences you to 46 years in prison," Judge Almiro Rodrigues told Radislav Krstic in a courtroom in The Hague. "Knowing that the women, children and old people of Srebrenica had been transferred, you are guilty of having agreed to the plan to conduct mass executions of all the men of fighting age. You are therefore guilty of genocide," he added.
In a 255-page judgment, the court said that Krstic had failed to use his authority to halt the killings and concluded that his "participation in the genocide consisted primarily of allowing Drina Corps assets to be used in connection with the executions".
The mass killings began on July 13, 1995 when at least 150 people, at least 50 of whom had their hands bound with metal ties, were taken in buses to Cerska and shot on the edge of a wood, according to the judgment. Later that afternoon the killing began in earnest when up to 1,500 Bosnian Muslims were herded into a warehouse and shot at close range by Serbian murder squads, members of which also tossed in hand grenades. "The next day, the Serbian Forces called out to any survivors," Judge Rodrigues told the court in measured and slow French. "Some of those who responded were forced to sing Serbian songs and then executed."
The tribunal was told that Krstic had personally helped to plan, prepare and carry out the killings of at least 7,500 Muslim men and boys, and had been singled out for praise by his superiors for doing "an extraordinary job" and being a "great commander".
