He was sentenced for life imprisonment for his war crimes by the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia in The Hague, the Netherlands.<\/p>\n<p>People all over the world learned about the massacre in Srebrenica because of Mladi\u0107\u2019s cruel manipulation and lying.

As the politicians and military leaders of the Bosnian Serbs aimed at having an ethnically clean territory 30 kilometres westward of the River Drina, Ratko Mladi\u0107 sent thousands of boys and men to their deaths (the exact number has never been identified).
