The genocide conviction of Ratko Mladic is a "momentous victory for justice", the United Nations human rights chief said Wednesday, calling the former Bosnian Serbian commander "the epitome of evil."
"Today's verdict is a warning to the perpetrators of such crimes that they will not escape justice, no matter how powerful they may be nor how long it may take. They will be held accountable," Zeid Ra'ad al Hussein said in a statement after Mladic was sentenced to life in prison for genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes.
