On Tuesday, November 14, Radovan Stanković was sentenced by the Court of Bosnia Herzegovina to 16 years’ imprisonment for rapes and other crimes against humanity. The Court found that Stanković held a number of Bosnian women and girls captive so that Serb soldiers and other Serb men could sexually assault them. This case was the first to have been transferred to a national court from the International Criminal Tribunal of Yugoslavia as part of the Tribunal’s completion strategy where cases and expertise are transferred to the judiciaries in the region.
