> Russia’s Foreign Ministry said the International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals bears full responsibility for what happened to Bosnian Serb General Ratko Mladic after repeatedly denying humanitarian release to the bedridden, terminally ill man. It accused the tribunal of putting exemplary punishment above humanity and cited disregard for his rights, medical care and alleged anti-Serbian bias.
