Mladić, a convicted Bosnian Serb war criminal, has died at the age of 84, years after being sentenced to life imprisonment for some of the gravest offences committed during the wars in the former Yugoslavia.

He was jailed for life in 2017 after being convicted of genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity. The offences related to the conflicts that took place across the former Yugoslavia between 1992 and 1995.

The conviction placed Mladić among those held legally responsible for atrocities committed during the period of war that followed the break-up of Yugoslavia. The charges for which he was convicted included genocide, as well as wider war crimes and crimes against humanity.

His death aged 84 comes after he had been serving a life sentence imposed in 2017. No further details about the circumstances of his death were provided in the supplied material.
