The Hague Tribunal and domestic courts have sentenced 45 people to 699 years in prison - plus three life sentences - for genocide, crimes against humanity and other offences against Bosniaks from Srebrenica in July 1995. The past 12 months have seen another landmark verdict convicting a senior Bosnian Serb figure of involvement in the worst atrocities in Europe since World War II - Ratko Mladic, the former commander of the Bosnian Serb Army’s Main Headquarters, who was sentenced to life imprisonment in November.

The acquittal of Naser Oric, the Bosnian Army’s former commander in Srebrenica, has been quashed and he will be retried for allegedly killing three Bosnian Serb prisoners of war in 1992. The appeals chamber of Bosnia’s state court has overturned the first-verdict acquitting Naser Oric and his subordinate Sabahudin Muhic and ordered a retrial, the prosecution confirmed to BIRN on Monday.
