Former Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic on Thursday filed an appeal against a UN court’s decision to increase his sentence to life in jail for war crimes, court documents said.
“President Radovan Karadzic hereby appeals… the life sentence imposed upon him”, said the legal notice filed by his lawyer Peter Robinson and released by the court. Appeals judges in The Hague last week upheld Karadzic’s 2016 conviction for genocide in the Srebrenica massacre and other atrocities throughout the Bosnian civil war in the 1990s.
They then increased his sentence from 40 years to life, saying the initial jail term had underestimated the “sheer scale and systematic cruelty” of his crimes.
