"I am sick, I am dying" - The Hague rejects Ratko Mladic's

The International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals in The Hague announced on Thursday that it has rejected a request by Ratko Mladic, who is serving a life sentence for genocide and other war crimes, to be released because he is near death.

The decision by IRMCT president Graciela Gatti Santana acknowledges that Mladic's condition is "very serious, deteriorating and approaching death."

The wartime Bosnian Serb military chief, now 84, recently suffered a stroke, according to media reports. His health has long been poor. But Santana argued that he is receiving the best possible treatment in detention.

“The conditions in the UNDU (UN Detention Unit) and in the prison hospital are of such a high quality that Mladic’s comfort can be ensured to the maximum extent possible, without causing the detention environment to aggravate the situation in a manner that would result in inhuman or degrading treatment,” the decision states.

“There is no additional treatment available elsewhere that is not available in the Netherlands,” the ruling adds. Santana’s ruling notes that Mladic has had “years of effective and tailored treatment for his multiple and complex health problems” while in detention and can be visited frequently by family members.

"He benefits from an exceptional visiting regime, which allows frequent contact with his friends and family, including the possibility for family members to be with him in his final moments," the decision states.

Mladic's lawyers had requested his immediate conditional or temporary release to transfer him to a specialized hospital or palliative care center, arguing that he is "in a state of advanced, irreversible medical deterioration and is near the end of his life."

The Bosnian Serb Army general was convicted by a final verdict in June 2021 of the genocide of Bosniaks from Srebrenica, the persecution of Bosniaks and Croats across the country during the 1992-1995 war in Bosnia, the terrorization of the population of Sarajevo with a campaign of shelling and sniper attacks during the siege of the city, and the taking of UN peacekeepers hostage.
