Radovan Karadzic asked the UN court to reject a prosecution appeal to increase his sentence to life imprisonment and find him guilty of genocide in seven more Bosnian municipalities in 1992. Former Bosnian Serb political leader Radovan Karadzic filed a motion to the Mechanism for International Criminal Tribunals in The Hague on Thursday, asking the UN war crimes court to throw out the prosecutors’ appeal.

The former chief of security at the main headquarters of the Bosnian Serb Army, Ljubisa Beara, has died in a German prison where he was serving a life term for the 1995 Srebrenica genocide.

A medical report rejected former Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic’s claims that there were abnormally high levels of cancer among war crimes defendants held at the UN court’s detention centre.

Defence and prosecution lawyers made their final comments in the trial of the former Bosnian Serb military commander for genocide and other wartime crimes and judges adjourned to start considering their verdict.

Prosecutors at Ratko Mladic’s trial rejected the defence’s closing arguments, insisting that the evidence proves that the former Bosnian Serb military commander is guilty of genocide and other wartime crimes.

In closing arguments at Ratko Mladic’s war crimes trial, the defence said claims that Bosnian Serb forces under his command indiscriminately shelled Sarajevo and sniped at civilians were a myth.

In closing arguments at Ratko Mladic’s trial, the defence said UN prosecutors did not prove the former Bosnian Serb military chief’s forces committed genocide in six Bosnian municipalities in 1992. Mladic’s defence lawyer Dragan Ivetic told the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia in The Hague on Monday that the prosecutors had not proved that there was a coordinated plan for the commission of genocide in the six municipalities or that the Bosnian Serb Army commander was responsible for persecution and ethnic cleansing there.

In closing arguments at Ratko Mladic’s trial, lawyers for the former Bosnian Serb military commander said he never ordered the Srebrenica mass killings and the case against him was systematically biased.

Prosecutors at the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia called on judges at the UN court to jail Bosnian Serb military commander Ratko Mladic for life for genocide and other wartime crimes.

As closing statements continued at Ratko Mladic’s trial, prosecutors said the trial had proved that the former Bosnian Serb military chief’s forces terrorised Sarajevo with a shelling and sniping campaign.
