Biljana Plavsic, Former Bosnian Serb Leader, Dies

Original: Biljana Plavsic, a Former Bosnian Serb Political Leader, Has Died

Biljana Plavsic, a former president of Republika Srpska and one of the highest-ranking political figures convicted of war crimes from the Bosnian war, has died. She was sentenced by the UN war crimes tribunal in The Hague for her role in the persecution of Bosniaks and Croats during the 1992-95 conflict and was later granted early release. Reactions to her death remain divided between condemnation of her wartime record and acknowledgment of her political role.

Why now: Her death reopens debate over her legacy as the only woman convicted by the Yugoslav war crimes tribunal.
