Defense: No evidence of genocide

THE HAGUE -- Defense of Radovan Karadzic, the American Peter Robinson, had asked the court to dismiss the second charge of the indictment dealing with genocide.

Defense of Radovan Karadzic, the American Peter Robinson, had asked the court to dismiss the second charge of the indictment that the former President of the Republic of Srpska (RS) dealt with genocide.

Robinson said that the prosecution could in no way prove that Karadzic had not intended to destroy the Muslims throughout Bosnia, which would be necessary as if to prove the liability of the genocide.
Robinson added that 26 defense witnesses confirmed that Karadzic was unaware of the events in Srebrenica.

Let's remind, former RS President Radovan Karadzic said yesterday that he was not guilty of the crimes with which he is charged, but that he takes moral responsibility for the crimes of the Serbs in Bosnia.

In his closing argument he pointed out that the whole Serbian nation have been tried by the ICTY for crimes committed in former Yugoslavia.

Karadzic is charged with genocide, crimes against humanity and violations of the laws or customs of warfare in Bosnia and Herzegovina between 1992 and 1995.
