Karadžić Charges Outlined

Comment on this post

From SKY NEWS
The former Bosnian Serb leader, who faces charges of genocide for his actions in the 1992-95 Bosnia war, is due in court tomorrow afternoon, where he will appear before judge Alphons Orie.

Usually the indictment is read at a suspect's initial court appearance, but Karadžić can ask that only the charges, effectively a shorter summary of the indictment, are read, or that the indictment is not read at all.

He will be asked to enter a plea. If he refuses, proceedings will be adjourned and he will have 30 days to consider before he is again asked to enter a plea.

If he still refuses, a plea of "not guilty" will be entered for him.

Chief prosecutor Serge Brammertz said the arrest of Karadžić was a "major achievement".
