Relatives, Survivors Await Court Ruling On Karadzic Appeal

Relatives who lost family members in the 1995 massacre of some 8,000 Muslim men and boys in Srebrenica will be closely watching a ruling by United Nations judges in an appeal by convicted Bosnian Serb war criminal Radovan Karadzic.

Judges in The Hague on March 20 are expected to rule at the UN Mechanism for International Criminal Tribunals (MICT) whether to uphold or overturn Karadzic's 2016 convictions for genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes.

They will also decide whether to uphold the 40-year sentence he was handed by the previous court, the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY), which closed in late 2017. MICT is an international court handling cases left over after the closure of the ICTY.
