Ex-Bosnian Serb Leader Karadzic Defends Himself at UN Tribunal
--------------------------------------------------------------



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.”
