Karadzic appears before war crimes tribunal

Karadzic was formally charged by the UN war crimes tribunal in the Hague. He faces 11 charges, including genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes during the 1992-1995 war in Bosnia. He waived his right to legal council and informed the court he planned to represent himself. A move that could be intended to extend the trial.

His next court appearance is scheduled for August 29.
