(22 Nov 2017) The chief prosecutor of the UN's Yugoslav war crimes tribunal says that the conviction of former Bosnian Serb military commander Gen. Ratko Mladic is not a verdict against all Serb people and his guilt belonged to him an no one else.
Serb nationalists often portray the tribunal as anti-Serb because most of the people it has convicted were Serbs.
Brammertz was speaking to reporters after judges on Wednesday convicted Mladic of 10 counts of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes, and sentenced the former general to life imprisonment.
Brammertz said the "glorification of convicted war criminals is a real issue and I really think it's a big obstacle to reconciliation in the region."
Mladic was acquitted on one count of genocide linked to ethnic purges in Bosnian towns and villages.
Brammertz said he would study the judgment before deciding whether to appeal on the one count Mladic was found not guilty.
He said "we really have to analyze this in in detail, but it should not diminish the overall result of this case, where the maximum possible sentence was was was given."
