\n Former Bosnian Serb commander Ratko Mladic's life sentence Wednesday was the last of more than 80 major convictions by a UN court trying crimes committed in the wars that followed the break-up of Yugoslavia in the 1990s.\n<\/p>\n
\n Here are 10 top figures accused of atrocities during the wars -- some of them convicted by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY), and some not.\n<\/p>\n
\n - Milosevic, Serbian president: charged -\n<\/p>\n
\n Slobodan Milosevic was accused of fuelling ethnic conflict and mass murder as he supported the Serb cause in the Croatian, Bosnian and Kosovo conflicts.\n<\/p>\n
\n He died in his cell in 2006 aged 64 while awaiting a verdict on charges of genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity.\n<\/p>\n
\n - Karadzic, Bosnian Serb leader: 40 years -\n<\/p>\n
\n Radovan Karadzic, 72, was sentenced to 40 years in jail for genocide over the 1995 Srebrenica massacre and nine other charges including extermination, deportations and hostage-taking.\n<\/p>\n
\n He evaded capture for 13 years until he was arrested in 2008 on a Belgrade bus, masquerading behind a bushy beard as a New Age healer.\n<\/p>\n
\n - Mladic, Bosnian Serb commander: life -\n<\/p>\n
\n The army chief dubbed the \"butcher of Bosnia\", 74, was found guilty on 10 counts including genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity during the 1992-1995 war.\n<\/p>\n
\n Caught after 16 years on the run, Mladic was found guilty of the 1995 massacre in northeastern Srebrenica, where troops under his command slaughtered almost 8,000 Muslim men and boys.\n<\/p>\n
\n - Seselj, radical Serb: acquitted -\n<\/p>\n
\n A Milosevic ally, Serbian Radical Party leader Vojislav Seselj, 63, was accused of being behind the murder of Croats, Muslims and other non-Serbs, and the forced deportation of \"tens of thousands\".\n<\/p>\n
\n The ICTY acquitted him on all charges, saying he did not have \"hierarchial\" responsibility for his forces after they came under Serbian army control. Prosecutors appealed. Seselj is now a member of parliament.\n<\/p>\n
\n - Izetbegovic, Bosnian president: no charges -\n<\/p>\n
\n Alija Izetbegovic was a Muslim who led Bosnia to independence. That move was followed by the bloody 1992-1995 war between Muslims, Serbs and Croats.\n<\/p>\n
\n After his death in 2003, the ICTY said it had been investigating Serb allegations that he committed war crimes, but no charges were ever brought.\n<\/p>\n
\n - Tudjman, Croatian president: no charges -\n<\/p>\n
\n Franjo Tudjman took Croatia out of the Yugoslav federation as its first president. The subsequent independence war left about 20,000 people dead.\n<\/p>\n
\n After Tudjman died in 1999, aged 77, the ICTY said he would have been indicted for war crimes had he lived.\n<\/p>\n
\n - Plavsic, Bosnian Serb president: guilty -\n<\/p>\n
\n The vice president of the Serbs' self-declared Republika Srpska during the Bosnian war, Biljana Plavsic, 87, pleaded guilty to crimes against humanity for persecution of Croats and Muslims.\n<\/p>\n
\n She was sentenced to 11 years in jail in 2003 and granted release in 2009. She was the only woman to be convicted by the ICTY.\n<\/p>\n
\n - Gotovina, Croatian general: acquitted -\n<\/p>\n
\n An army general considered a war hero by many Croats, Ante Gotovina, now 62, was sentenced to 24 years in jail for crimes against humanity and war crimes.\n<\/p>\n
\n He was acquitted on appeal in 2012.\n<\/p>\n
\n - Krajisnik, Bosnian Serb leader: guilty -\n<\/p>\n
\n Momcilo Krajisnik, 72, a wartime Bosnian Serb leader, served two-thirds of a 20-year sentence for crimes against humanity.\n<\/p>\n
\n He was released in August 2013 -- to a hero's welcome at home.\n<\/p>\n
\n - Thaci, Kosovo president: could face court -\n<\/p>\n
\n Kosovo's President Hashim Thaci, 49, was the political leader of the guerrilla Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) that fought for independence from Serbia.\n<\/p>\n
\n A 2010 Council of Europe report alleged he led a gang involved in assassinations, unlawful detentions and trafficking captives' organs. He denies the charges.\n<\/p>\n
\n He was not investigated by the ICTY but could face a special court in The Hague for alleged KLA crimes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
