On 16th November 1995, the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (The Hague) indicted Radovan Karadzic – President of Republika Srpska – and General Ratko Mladic – Commander of the VRS – both accused to be directly responsible for the atrocities committed in July 1995, against the Bosnian Muslin population of the UN Safe Area of Srebrenica. On the words of the International Criminal Tribunal’s Prosecutor – Judge Fouad Riad:
– “After Srebrenica fell to besieging Serbian forces in July, 1995, a truly terrible massacre of the Muslin population appears to have taken place. The evidence tendered by the Prosecutor describes scenes of unimaginable savagery: thousands of men executed and buried in mass graves, hundreds of men buried alive, men and women mutilated and slaughtered, children killed before their mothers’ eyes, a grandfather forced to eat the liver of his own grandson. These are truly scenes from hell, written on the darkest pages of human history”.
