Slobodan Milosevich (August 20, 1941 - March 11, 2006)[edit]
Slobodan Milosevich was President of Serbia from 1989-1997 and President of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia from 1997-2000 and was therefore President during the Yugoslav wars and consequent dissolution of Yugoslavia. He is notorious for the crimes against humanity he allegedly committed, crimes for which he was tried in The Hague. After five years on trial no verdict was reached as Milosevich died in his cell in 2006. While the International Court of Justice did not find enough evidence to link Milosevich directly to acts of genocide, they did rule that he did not do enough to prevent genocide from occurring.
