Goran Hadžić
Goran Hadžić (Serbian Cyrillic: Горан Хаџић, pronounced [ɡǒran xǎdʒiːtɕ]; 7 September 1958 – 12 July 2016) was a Croatian Serb politician and President of the self-proclaimed Republic of Serbian Krajina, during the Croatian War of Independence. He was accused of crimes against humanity and of violation of the laws and customs of war by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia.
Hadžić was charged with 14 counts of war crimes and crimes against humanity. The charges included criminal involvement in the “deportation or forcible transfer of tens of thousands of Croat and other non-Serb civilians” from Croatian territory between June 1991 and December 1993, including 20,000 from Vukovar; the forced labour of detainees; the “extermination or murder of hundreds of Croat and other non-Serb civilians” in ten Croatian towns and villages including Vukovar; and the “torture, beatings and killings of detainees”, including 264 victims seized from Vukovar Hospital.
The Tribunal’s last remaining fugitive, Hadžić was captured by Serbian authorities in 2011. In 2014 he was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer; he died two years later at the age of 57. The ICTY trial was terminated upon his death.
