After the war, Bosnia formally accused Serbia of [[genocide]], claiming that Serbian forces assisted in the massacre. This led to an indictment against commander Mladić by the [[International Criminal Court]] and [[International Court of Justice]]<ref>[http://www.un.org/icty/indictment/english/mla-ai021010e.htm ICTY Indictment Against Mladić]</ref> The court further ruled that the Srebrenica massacre was indeed an act of genocide.<ref>[http://www.un.org/icty/krstic/Appeal/judgement/krs-aj040419e.pdf ICTY Ruling of genocide in Srebrenica]</ref> It should be noted, however, that Serbia was never found guilty of genocide; they were found to have not taken enough action to stop the genocide from occurring.
