Wartime Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic made his first court appearance Tuesday since the start of his genocide trial more than a week ago.
Wearing a black suit, pink shirt and red tie, Karadzic took his place in the accused dock of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, for a procedural hearing that will consider options for continuing the trial in the face of his defiance.
Karadzic, 64, has refused to leave his jail cell since the trial started on October 26, insisting on more time to review a million pages of prosecution evidence and the statements of hundreds of witnesses.
He is conducting his own defence on 11 charges of genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity for his role in the 1992-95 Bosnian war that claimed some 100,000 lives and caused 2.2 million people to flee their homes.
