The International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) convicted 7 Bosnian Serbs Army officials of genocide for their role in the 1995 Srebenica massacre.
Two defendants, Vujadin Popović, the Chief of Security of the Drina Corps of the Bosnian Serb Army (VRS) and Ljubiša Beara, Chief of Security in the VRS Main staff were found guilty of genocide, extermination, murder and persecution and sentenced to life imprisonment.
This was only the second ICTY conviction for genocide. In 2001, General Radislav Krstić's conviction for genocide was reduced to a conviction for aiding and abetting genocide on appeal.
