Radovan Karadzic to boycott start of genocide trial

The trial before the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) in The Hague starts on Monday. Karadzic faces 11 counts of genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity for his role in Bosnia's 1992-95 war that claimed an estimated 100,000 lives.
But Karadzic, 64, said he had not had time to complete his defence preparations and had been treated unfairly. He has denied all charges and insists he will conduct his own defence.
