The UN tribunal for the former Yugoslavia entered a plea of not guilty on behalf of former Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic for war crimes and genocide charges on Friday after he refused to enter one.

At his second plea hearing before his trial for charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity in the 1992-95 Bosnian war, Karadzic refused to enter pleas for all of the charges against him.

As a result, presiding Judge Iain Bonomy entered a plea of "not guilty" on his behalf for all counts.

When is George W. Bush going to be arraigned in the UN Tribunal. He killed alot , thousands of innocent people in Iraq, Afghanistan, Yugoslavia and other countries the USA invaded on orders by him, including the killing of thousands of innocent US soldiers that died invain because of his crazy thinking. What about Pinochet and other fascist dictators??? Or is the UN's Tribunal justice (sic) one way!!!
