UN war crimes judges have upheld a genocide conviction and life sentence against former Bosnian Serb military commander Ratko Mladic, rejecting all grounds of his appeal. Mladic, 78, led Bosnian Serb forces during Bosnia's 1992-95 war. He was convicted by trial and ordered to serve a life sentence, but appealed both the verdict and the sentence. He will remain in custody until arrangements are made to transfer him to a country where he will serve his sentence,
He was convicted in 2017 on charges of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes including terrorising the civilian population of the Bosnian capital Sarajevo during a 43-month siege, and the killing of more than 8,000 Muslim men and boys in the eastern Bosnian town of Srebrenica in 1995.
