波黑塞族前领导人卡拉季奇被判40年

Radovan Karadzic, the former Bosnian Serb leader, was found guilty of genocide and crimes against humanity during the 1992-95 Bosnian war. The atrocities during the war have been described as the worst crimes committed in Europe since World War Two.

近日，前波黑塞族共和国领导人拉多万·卡拉季奇在1992至1995年波斯尼亚战争期间犯下的种族灭绝罪和反人类罪正式宣告成立。该战争期间的暴行被形容为自二战以来在欧洲犯下的最严重的罪行。

At a UN tribunal in The Hague, judges found him guilty of 10 out of 11 counts of genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity and other atrocities in the Bosnian war of the 1990s, including leading the slaughter of thousands of Bosnian Muslims (Bosniaks) and Croats.

在海牙联合国法庭，法官认定他犯有11项种族灭绝罪、战争罪、危害人类罪，以及在20世纪90年代的波黑战争中其他暴行的10项罪名，其中包括领导了针对数千名波斯尼亚穆斯林和克罗地亚人的屠杀。

One count of genocide related to the massacre of more than 7,500 Muslim men and boys in the Srebrenica enclave in July 1995, which the UN said was part of a campaign to "terrorise and demoralise the Bosnian Muslim and Bosnian Croat population".

其中一项罪名是，1995年7月在斯雷布雷尼察飞地对7500余名穆斯林男子和男孩的种族灭绝，被联合国称为“恐吓和瓦解波斯尼亚穆斯林和波斯尼亚克族人口”运动的一部分。

The trial was a weighty affair - lasting five years, followed by an additional 18-month deliberation by the bench.

该审判是一个重大的事件——前后持续了五年，随后又增加了额外18个月的法官审议。

He was sentenced to 40 years in prison - though his lawyer has indicated he will appeal. The former Bosnian Serb leader was also found guilty of orchestrating the shelling of Sarajevo, and the use of 284 UN peacekeepers as human shields in May and June 1995.

卡拉季奇被判处有期徒刑40年——尽管他的律师已表示将提出上诉。这位前波黑塞族领导人也因策划炮击萨拉热窝，以及于1995年5月份和6月份使用284名联合国维和人员作为肉盾被判有罪。

Radovan Karadzic spent 13 years on the run before being handed over to the tribunal.

据悉，拉多万·卡拉季奇在外逃13年后被移交法庭。

He had been found living in disguise in Belgrade, under a false name and working as a New Age healer. He had even become well-known on the alternative health circuit, reportedly publishing a column in Healthy Living magazine.

他曾被发现住在贝尔格莱德，用假名并以新式医疗为职业伪装自己。他甚至在另类医疗界成名，据报道，他还在《健康生活》杂志发表专栏。
