Stanisic announced he would surrender to the UN court on Friday.
He is charged on the basis of personal and command responsibility with eight counts of crimes against humanity for persecutions on political, religious or racial grounds, extermination, deportation, murder, torture, inhumane treatment, and forcible displacement.
Stanisic is also charged with three counts of violations of the laws and customs of war for murder, torture, and cruel treatment.
He is accused of participation in a joint criminal enterprise between April 1 and December 31, 1992 in his capacity as Republika Srpska police minister.
Under the indictment, the objective of the criminal enterprise, which lasted until the signing of the Dayton Peace Agreement in 1995, was "to permanently remove and ethnically cleanse, by force or other means, Bosnian Muslims, Bosnian Croats and other non-Serbs from the territory of the planned Serbian state by the commission of the crimes alleged".
The indictment against Stanisic was confirmed by Judge Amin el Mahdi of Egypt on February 25.
