Former Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic was found guilty of genocide related to the Srebrenica massacre and crimes against humanity committed during the 1990s war.
UN judges at the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia in The Hague made the ruling on Thursday, finding Karadzic guilty of 10 of the 11 counts brought against him during the five-year trial. He was sentenced to 40 years in prison.
Karadzic, 70, is the highest-ranking person to face a reckoning before the UN tribunal over a war two decades ago in which 100,000 people were killed as rival armies carved up Bosnia along ethnic lines.
Presiding Judge O-Gon Kwon said Karadzic was criminally responsible for murder, attacking civilians, and terror for overseeing the deadly 44-month siege of the Bosnian capital, Sarajevo, during the 1992-95 war.
