The most well-known of the deceased was former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic, who died in his cell on March 11, 2006.

Just like Praljak, who is 72, most of the accused are already of an age where health issues play a major role in many proceedings at the tribunal. The case of former Bosnian Serb Army commander Ratko Mladic is one such case. His trial started on May 16, 2017 and has been delayed several times due to his poor health.

During judgment day last Wednesday, Mladic had requested a suspension because he was suffering from high blood pressure. Judge Alphons Orie denied the request, claiming that the doctor's advice was not so alarming so as to immediately stop, and so continued reading the judgment.

Mladic then stood up and started yelling in the courtroom and Orie ordered Mladic to be removed. Mladic was absent from the courtroom when he received a sentence of life imprisonment.

Praljak was a former assistant defense minister of Croatia and during the Bosnian War was commander of the main staff of the HVO, the Croatian Defense Council, the official military formation of the Croatian Republic of Herzeg-Bosnia, an unrecognized wartime entity that existed in Bosnia and Herzegovina between 1991 and 1994.

On May 29, 2013, the ICTY judges sentenced him to 20 years imprisonment. Together with five other high-ranking officials from Herzeg-Bosna, Praljak heard his appeals judgment on Wednesday.
