A South Korean has been selected to partake in a three-judge panel that will try a major war criminal.

Kwon O-gon, the vice president of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY), is set to be appointed to the three-judge panel on Tuesday.

The panel will try former Bosnian Serb politician, Radovan Karadzic, who is accused of war crimes, including genocide committed against non-Serbs during the Siege of Sarajevo.

Karadzic is regarded to be one of the world’s most infamous war criminals since former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milošević died while being tried by the ICTY for allegedly committing war crimes.

Karadzic was a fugitive for 13 years before he was arrested in July of last year.

Kwon was elected as a judge for the ICTY in 2001 while he was working as a chief judge at the Daegu High Court. He was elected as the international court’s vice president last year.
