Former Bosnian Serb leader
THE HAGUE, Netherlands — Radovan Karadzic appeared at his U.N. war crimes trial today for the first time since it began last week, claiming his “fundamental rights have been violated” by judges who started without him.
The former Bosnian Serb leader, accused of masterminding Serb atrocities throughout the 1992-95 Bosnian war, had boycotted the first three days of the trial. Today Karadzic, who is defending himself, again insisted that he needed more time to prepare.
Karadzic faces two counts of genocide and nine other charges of crimes against humanity and war crimes. He has refused to enter pleas, but insists he is innocent of all charges.
