MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 21st March, 2019) The Appeals Chamber of the International Residual Mechanism Tribunals in The Hague has deliberately avoided during the sentencing of ex-Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic the assessment of unlawful NATO actions in former Yugoslavia, the Russian Foreign Ministry said Thursday."The unlawful actions of the NATO countries during the military operations in the former Yugoslavia have been deliberately put outside the framework of deliberation despite the fact that it is well known that the scale of civilian casualties and destruction of civilian infrastructure as a result of these actions, including the contamination of significant areas with depleted uranium, are very significant," the ministry said in a commentary.
The five judges of the Appeals Chamber on Wednesday dismissed all but one of Karadzic appeals and increased the 40-year prison term handed down in 2016 to life in prison.
