Mladic's Death Leaves Bosnia and Serbia's War Reckoning Unfinished

Mladic was convicted of genocide and crimes against humanity, including responsibility for tens of thousands of deaths during the Bosnian War and the Srebrenica massacre.

Ratko Mladic, the Bosnian Serb commander convicted of genocide for atrocities including the Srebrenica massacre, died this week in a UN detention facility at The Hague — and the silence that might have followed has instead become a new argument. His death has exposed what three decades of international justice could not resolve: whether Serbia is willing to look honestly at its wartime past, or whether it will continue to honor men like Mladic as defenders of a nation rather than architects of mass death. The tribunal rendered its verdict; the harder reckoning belongs to the living.
