A. Legal source/authority and evidence:

Prosecutor v. Radoslav Brđanin, Case No. IT-99-36-T, Judgement (TC), 1 September 2004, para. 757:

"757. The Trial Chamber is satisfied that its commander, Bozidar Popovic, was aware of the beatings being inflicted upon the detainees. The Trial Chamber has already found that detainees died inside Manjaca camp as a result of beatings.1839 Popovic ordered that death certificates giving a false account of the cause of death be issued.1840 Moreover, the detainees’ cowed attitude could only be the result of a very strict discipline regime.1841 In addition, the Trial Chamber is satisfied that General Talic was aware of the mistreatment being visited upon detainees and of the conditions in Manjaca camp. At a meeting in the army club in Banja Luka on 22 June 1992, Adil Medic described the conditions he had witnessed in Manjaca camp to General Talic, and told him that detainees said they were being mistreated.1842 On one occasion, Vojo Kupresanin visited Manjaca camp.1843"
