In 1993 , the United Nations Security Council created the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia ( ICTY ) at The Hague for the purpose of bringing to justice persons allegedly responsible for serious violations of international humanitarian law in the territory of the former Yugoslavia since 1991 . On 24 July 1995 , the Hague Tribunal indicted Radovan Karadžić and Ratko Mladić on charges of genocide and crimes against humanity ; on 14 November 1995 , both men were indicted again on charges specific to the Srebrenica massacre . On 2 August 2001 , the Hague Tribunal found General-Major Radislav Krstić , the commander of the VRS Drina Corps at the time responsible for the Srebrenica massacre , guilty of genocide . Many other political leaders of Republika Srpska and VRS officers , have been indicted , tried , and convicted by the Hague Tribunal for war crimes and crimes against humanity committed during the 1992 – 1995 war in Bosnia .
