The Foča Sexual-Violence Crimes and the Kunarac Judgments
The ICTY convicted Kunarac, Kovač and Vuković for rape, torture, enslavement and related crimes, imposing final sentences of 28, 20 and 12 years.
Open case file →This evidence-led archive covers eight distinct Bosnia and Herzegovina mass-crime cases: the Foča crimes, the Prijedor camps, Višegrad fire killings, Tuzla’s Kapija, Markale, Stupni Do, Ahmići and the Srebrenica genocide judgment against Ratko Mladić. Each status is limited to the defendants and conduct actually adjudicated, and sentence enforcement is tracked separately from conviction.
The label is narrow: each file records a completed criminal finding for defined defendants or conduct and does not claim that every participant was prosecuted.
The ICTY convicted Kunarac, Kovač and Vuković for rape, torture, enslavement and related crimes, imposing final sentences of 28, 20 and 12 years.
Open case file →The ICTY convicted five men for persecution and camp crimes, with final sentences from five to twenty-five years and defendant-specific acquittals preserved.
Open case file →ICTY judgments established responsibility for the Pionirska Street and Bikavac fire killings while preserving distinct findings for Milan and Sredoje Lukić.
Open case file →An artillery shell killed 71 civilians. Novak Đukić received a final 20-year sentence, but had not begun serving it as of June 2026.
Open case file →A mortar shell killed 68 people and injured 144. The ICTY adjudicated the attack within the terror campaign against Sarajevo civilians.
Open case file →HVO forces killed at least 37 Bosnian Muslims and destroyed most of the village. Ivica Rajić pleaded guilty and received a 12-year ICTY sentence.
Open case file →HVO forces killed more than 100 Bosniak civilians in a coordinated attack. Final ICTY judgments established individual responsibility while leaving wider accountability incomplete.
Open case file →A UN tribunal convicted Mladić of genocide at Srebrenica and other crimes. The Appeals Chamber affirmed the convictions and life sentence in 2021.
Open case file →This section is reserved for distinct Bosnia and Herzegovina cases whose unresolved status is independently documented.
“Solved / adjudicated” means that a court reached a final result for a named defendant and defined conduct. It does not mean a massacre or genocide can be reduced to one person, or that all participants were prosecuted.
The Tuzla Kapija file records a final 20-year conviction for Novak Đukić, but reliable reporting through June 2026 found that he had not begun serving it in Serbia. Judicial finality and practical enforcement are therefore shown separately.
The Višegrad file separates Milan Lukić's convictions for both fire killings from Sredoje Lukić's narrower Pionirska Street responsibility. The Markale file distinguishes final command responsibility from the unidentified mortar crew. Ahmići, Stupni Do, Tuzla and Srebrenica likewise preserve the exact defendants, counts and appellate boundaries decided by courts.
The visuals use Bosnia and Herzegovina's flag, memorial forms and court-file timelines. They do not invent portraits, stage attack sites or present editorial art as evidence.
Crime by Region currently publishes eight verified Bosnia and Herzegovina case files.
Tuzla Kapija, Markale, Stupni Do, Ahmići and the Srebrenica genocide file centered on the final Ratko Mladić judgment.
Novak Đukić's 20-year conviction is final, but the latest review found that he had not begun serving the sentence in Serbia.
Final court judgments established individual criminal responsibility for defined defendants and conduct. The labels do not claim that every perpetrator was prosecuted.
Judicial summaries and later memorial records may use different definitions or reporting periods; each page identifies its source context.
Non-graphic memorial and record imagery respects victims and avoids fabricated crime-scene visuals.
