The International Criminal Tribunal for former Yugoslavia, today, rejected arguments to drop charges of genocide against a former Bosnian Serb army chief, reports the BBC.
One of the judges, Alphons Orie, responding to assertions that there was not enough evidence, cited material presented by prosecutors including, video footage of the army chief calling for revenge against the Muslims in Srebrenica.
“The accused has a case to answer on all counts,” the judge said.
The Bosnian Serb army chief, Ratko Mladic, faces 11 charges, including genocide and crimes against humanity dating back to the Bosnian war from 1992 to 1995.
