拉特科·姆拉迪奇将军担任波斯尼亚塞族军的指挥官，其部队在斯雷布雷尼察有系统地屠杀波斯尼亚穆族男子和男童，强奸妇女和女童，炮击萨拉热窝平民，残暴对待穆族和克族囚犯，所有这些行径的骇人听闻目标是要将波斯尼亚穆族和克族永久赶出波斯尼亚塞族宣称拥有的领土。因此，我们欢迎并赞扬法庭为裁定姆拉迪奇将军对战争期间所犯严重罪行负有的责任开展的工作。
General Ratko Mladić served as the commander of the Bosnian Serb Army, and his forces systematically murdered Muslim Bosnian men and boys in Srebrenica, raped women and girls, shelled the civilian population of Sarajevo and brutalized Muslim and Croat prisoners, all with the horrifying objective of permanently removing Bosnian Muslims and Bosnian Croats from Bosnian Serb-claimed territory. We therefore welcome and celebrate the Tribunal’s work to rule on General Mladić’s responsibility for grave crimes committed during the war.
