Međutim, u presudi je utvrđeno da on nije imao komandnu odgovornost za te zločine, jer nije dokazano "van razumne sumnje da je bilo odnosa nadređeni-podređeni između njega i onih koji su počinili zločine u Srebrenici i Sarajevu".
However, the ruling found he had no command responsibility for the crimes, because it "was not proven beyond reasonable doubt that there had been a superior-subordinate relationship between him and those who committed the crimes in Srebrenica and Sarajevo".
