The Srebrenica massacre was the genocidal killings in two days in July 1995 of more than 8,000 Muslim men and boys, in and around the town of Srebrenica during the Bosnian War. The killings were perpetrated by units of the Bosnian Serb Army under the command of General Ratko Mladić.
Only three of the perpetrators have been convicted: General Mladić, General Krstic and Colonel Blagojevic. Radislav Krstic was convicted by the Hague Tribunal of aiding and abetting genocide and received a sentence of 35 years in prison, the first European to be convicted on a charge of genocide by an international tribunal since the Nuremberg trials. Vidoje Blagojevic received a sentence of 18 years for crimes against humanity.
