Ratko Mladić, the convicted Bosnian Serb war criminal, has died while serving a life sentence for genocide, according to reports. The news was first reported by the Serbian portal Informer and subsequently confirmed by Reuters. Mladić was found guilty by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) of numerous war crimes and crimes against humanity committed during the Bosnian War of the 1990s. His most significant conviction related to the Srebrenica genocide in 1995, where over 8,000 Bosnian Muslim men and boys were murdered. He was arrested in 2011 after years evading justice and his death marks the end of a long and controversial legal process. The circumstances surrounding his death have not yet been detailed.
