The arrest of former Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic by Serbian authorities on Monday was a watershed moment for the International Criminal Court for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY).

Wanted by international war crimes prosecutors in The Hague for his alleged role in the massacre of nearly 8,000 Bosnian Muslims in Srebrenica in 1995, Karadzic has deftly avoided arrest for 13 years.
