2007 rulings

[change |change source]

Following his death, in four separate rulings, he was found to be a part of a joint criminal enterprise which used crimes to removeCroats,Bosniaks andAlbanians from large parts ofCroatia,Bosnia and Herzegovina, andKosovo.

In 2007, in its rulings against Republic of Serbian Krajina President Milan Martić, the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) concluded:

Between 1991 and 1995, Martić held positions of minister of interior, minister of defense and president of the self-proclaimed "Serbian Autonomous Region of Krajina" (SAO Krajina), which was later renamed "Republic of Serbian Krajina" (RSK). He was found to have participated during this period in a joint criminal enterprise which included Slobodan Milošević, whose aim was to create a unified Serbian state through commission of a widespread and systematic campaign of crimes against non-Serbs inhabiting areas in Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina envisaged to become parts of such a state.

In February 2007, theInternational Court of Justice (ICJ) cleared Serbia under Milošević's rule of direct responsibility for some of the war crimes. However, the ICJ stated that[4]

[It was] conclusively proved that the Serbianleadership, and Milošević in particular, were fully aware [...] that massacres were likely to occur.

Kosovo rulings

[change |change source]

In the two Kosovo rulings, the Nikola Šainović et al. and Vlastimir Đorđević cases, Milošević was found to have been "one of the crucial members" of the criminal enterprise aimed atuprooting large parts of Albanians from Kosovo.[5][6]

2016 ruling

[change |change source]

In its 2016 ruling regarding Radovan Karadžić, the ICTY found that "there was no sufficient evidence presented in this case to find that Slobodan Milošević agreed with the common plan [to create territories ethnically cleansed of non-Serbs]" citing "Milošević's repeated criticism and disapproval of the policies and decisions made by the Accused and the Bosnian Serb leadership", though it also noted that[7][8]

Milošević provided assistance in the form of personnel, provisions and arms toBosnian Serbs during the conflict.

2021 ruling

[change |change source]

In its 2021 ruling against Serbia's operatives Jovica Stanišić and Franko Simatovićq, the follow-up International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals concluded:

The Trial Chamber, therefore, finds proven beyond reasonable doubt that, from at least August 1991, and at all times relevant to the crimes charged in the Indictment, a common criminal purpose existed to forcibly and permanently remove, through the commission of the crimes ofpersecution, murder, deportation and inhumane acts (forcible transfer), the majority of non-Serbs, principally Croats, Bosnian Muslim and Bosnian Croats, from large areas of Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Trial Chamber finds that the common criminal purpose, as defined above, was shared by senior political, military, and police leadership in Serbia, the SAO Krajina, the SAO SBWS, and Republika Srpska, with the core members, among others and varying depending on the area and timing of the commission of the crimes, being Slobodan Milošević.
