Appeals Chamber of the International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals delivers judgement in the Mladić case


Mladić should be condemned by all responsible officials in the former Yugoslavia and around the world. His name should be consigned to the list of history’s most depraved and barbarous figures.

On 8 June 2021 the Appeals Chamber of the International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals handed down its judgment in the Mladić case.

The IRMCT was established by UN Security Council Resolution 1966 (2010) to complete the remaining work of

the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda and the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia after the completion of their respective mandates.
