The International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) concluded that the killings at Srebrenica, when compounded by the mass expulsion of Bosniak civilians, amounted to genocide.1

The tribunal held senior Bosnian Serb officers primarily responsible for these atrocities. In its legal proceedings, the ICTY convicted several high-ranking officials of genocide, including:1

Radovan Karadžić: Found guilty of genocide in 2016 for his role in the massacre.234
Ratko Mladić: Found guilty of genocide and war crimes in 2017.234
Vujadin Popović and Ljubiša Beara: Convicted of genocide in 2010.2

Additionally, the tribunal convicted other individuals for related offenses, such as aiding and abetting genocide or committing crimes against humanity. By formally classifying these events as genocide, the ICTY established a definitive legal record of the systematic nature of the violence perpetrated against the Bosniak population.21
