Considerable evidence against Karadzic

Former Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic has stated that the death toll of murdered Bosnian victims from the Srebrenica Massacre of July 1995 has been exaggerated and that he is innocent of any and all crimes that he has been charged with involving Srebrenica.
The reality that Radovan Karadzic is being charged with by the United Nations War Crimes Tribunal in the Hague, Netherlands, has greater than 6,200 – confirmed and identified by scientific DNA results – bodies of Bosnian men and boys who were murdered by Karadzic’s Serb Forces in the 1995 slaughter in Srebrenica, Bosnia-Herzegovina.
Many victims have yet to be located and identified as Bosnian Serb Army and Government denial of responsibility have curtailed efforts by the international community and the United Nations to assert justice concerning this terrible crime against humanity.
Radovan Karadzic was the top leader of the Serbs in Bosnia-Herzegovina and is being charged with responsibility for the crimes by Serb Forces in Srebrenica in addition to other war crimes charges. Karadzic would not have had to be personally involved, in attendance or personally knowledgeable for the crimes; while he is considered to have been in these direct contributions to the crimes and could still be found guilty of full responsibility due to his legal position as leader of the Bosnian Serb government and military forces in Bosnia-Herzegovina during the time the crimes were committed.
Radovan Karadzic’s trial in scheduled to begin shortly and will feature evidence and testimony from scores of Bosnian victims. Forensic evidence will weigh heavily upon Karadzic’s denial of guilt and responsibility, as there is substantial evidence in existence and Karadzic is facing a severe case against his stated lack of responsibility for the Srebrenica Massacre.
