Ljubiša Beara

Ljubiša Beara (14 July 1939 – 8 February 2017) was a Bosnian Serb colonel and convicted war criminal who participated in the Srebrenica massacre.

Born in Sarajevo, Drina Banovina, Kingdom of Yugoslavia, he was Colonel and Chief of Security of the Bosnian Serb Army Main Staff.

[1] On 26 March 2002, the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) issued an indictment against him for his role in the Srebrenica Massacre.

On 10 June 2010, the Trial Chamber brought a verdict that he "was the most senior officer of the Security Branch and had the clearest overall picture of the massive scale and scope of the killing operation.

Steeped in this knowledge, he became, in the opinion of the Trial Chamber, a driving force behind the murder enterprise".
