Ex-Bosnian Serb Leader Karadzic Defends Himself at UN Tribunal

HeadlineMar 02, 2010

Former Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic defended himself in the UN tribunal in The Hague on Monday. He is charged with eleven war crimes for his actions during the Bosnian War in the 1990s. Prosecutors say Karadzic led a genocidal campaign to make Bosnian Muslims “disappear from the face of the earth.” Karadzic denied all the charges.

Radovan Karadzic: “Instead of isolating a specific crime that the accused has done, the prosecution is criminalizing the entire nation and all its legal, legitimate and political activities, and it proclaims it as a joint criminal enterprise.”
