Radovan Karadzic, former President of Republika Srpska, files an appeal against a decision to reject his request for acquittal of charges for taking international soldiers hostage in 1995.
In his motion filed with the Appellate Chamber of The Hague Tribunal, Karadzic said that the UN soldiers captured by members of the Republika Srpska Army, VRS, in 1995, were not members of “a protected group”, considering the fact that they “actively participated in the conflict”.
