In June 2001, Milošević was handed over to the United Nations War Crimes Tribunal and taken to The Hague to be tried for war crimes allegedly committed during his rule. On 30 August 2001, Milošević was told he would be charged with genocide, the most serious of all war crimes. Later, the original charges of war crimes in Kosovo were upgraded by adding charges of genocide in Bosnia and war crimes in Croatia. His trial began at The Hague on 12 February 2002, with Milošević defending himself while refusing to recognise the legality of the court's jurisdiction.

Milošević was found dead in his cell on 11 March 2006 in the UN war crimes tribunal's detention centre in The Hague.
