Blaskic, who is said to have been a Regional Commander of the Croatian Defence Council (HVO) prior to becoming its Chief of Staff, is charged with crimes against humanity, grave breaches of the Geneva Conventions and violations of the laws and customs of war. Along with some of his co-accused, he is alleged to have "planned and executed a systematic campaign of bombarding, attacking and destroying towns, villages and hamlets in the Lasva Valley" region of central Bosnian, directed against its predominantly Muslim population.
General Blaskic surrendered himself into the custody of the International Tribunal on 1 April 1996. In the interim, he applied for and was eventually granted modified conditions of detention.
