The Manjača camp was a concentration camp^[1] on mount Manjača near Banja Luka during the Bosnian War (1991‒95).^[1]

The Manjača camp was run by the Yugoslav People's Army and the Republika Srpska to illegally detain thousands of Bosniak and Croatian male prisoners.^[1] It is estimated that about 5,000 persons passed through the camp.^[2]

The International Committee of the Red Cross said that the camp held 3,737 prisoners,^[3] where mass murders happened.^[4] Hundreds of deaths were recorded.^[5]

The International Court of Justice (ICJ) made its ruling on February 26, 2007. In relation to Article II (b) of the Genocide Convention, the Court stated:^[6]

Having carefully examined the evidence presented before it, and taken note of that presented to the ICTY, the Court considers that it has been established by fully conclusive evidence that members of the protected group were systematically victims of massive mistreatment, beatings, rape and torture causing serious bodily and mental harm during the conflict and, in particular, in the detention camps. The requirements of the material element, as defined by Article II (b) of the Convention are thus fulfilled. The Court finds, however, on the basis of evidence before it, that it has not been conclusively established that those atrocities, although they too may amount to war crimes and crimes against humanity, were committed with the specific intent (dolus specialis) to destroy the protected group, in whole or in part, required for a finding that genocide has been perpetrated.

Some of the Republika Srpska's officials who ran the camp have since been indicted for genocide, crimes against humanity and other war crimes, including Milomir Stakić and Stojan Župljanin. Several of them have been convicted.^[7]
