‘Butcher of Bosnia’ was sentenced to 40 years in 2016 before his term was increased to life imprisonment in 2019.

Ten years have passed since Bosnian Serb wartime political leader Radovan Karadzic was convicted of genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity by an international tribunal in The Hague on March 24, 2016.

Karadzic, widely known as the “Butcher of Bosnia” for his role during the 1992-1995 war in Bosnia and Herzegovina in which tens of thousands were killed, was initially sentenced to 40 years in prison on 10 counts before the sentence was increased to life imprisonment in 2019.
