THE HAGUE, Netherlands — Appeals judges at the United Nations’ Yugoslav war-crimes tribunal yesterday reinstated a genocide charge against Radovan Karadzic linked to a campaign of killing and mistreating non-Serbs at the start of the Bosnian war in 1992.
The decision reversed the former Bosnian Serb president’s acquittal last year on one of the two genocide charges he faces, but it does not amount to a conviction.
Judge Theodor Meron said appeals judges believe that evidence presented at Karadzic’s trial “could indicate that Karadzic possessed genocidal intent.”
