Radovan Karadžić was born to a Serb family on 19 June 1945 in the village of Petnjica in the People's Republic of Montenegro, Democratic Federal Yugoslavia, near Šavnik.{{sfn|Donia|2014|p=23}} Karadžić's father, Vuko (1912–1987),{{cite web|url=http://www.novosti.rs/dodatni_sadrzaj/clanci.119.html:279208-Necu-da-pogazim-rec|title=Neću da pogazim reč|publisher=Novosti|date=6 August 2008|access-date=24 March 2016}}{{cite web|url=http://www.monitor.co.me/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1582:crnogorac-prodao-radovana&Itemid=2062|title=Crnogorac prodao Radovana|publisher=Monitor|date=2 April 2010|access-date=24 March 2016}} was a cobbler from Petnjica.

She married Karadžić's father in 1943, aged twenty.{{sfn|Donia|2014|p=23}} Karadžić claims to be related to the Serbian linguistic reformer Vuk Stefanović Karadžić (1787–1864), although as of 2014 this claim had not been confirmed.{{sfn|Donia|2014|p=24}}

His father had been a Chetnik – i.e. a member of the rightwinged army of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia's government-in-exile during World War II – and was imprisoned by the post-war communist regime for much of his son's childhood.{{sfn|Donia|2014|p=25}} Karadžić moved to Sarajevo in 1960 to study psychiatry at the Sarajevo University School of Medicine.Robert J. Donia. (2014). Radovan Karadzic: Architect of the Bosnian Genocide, p. 27, Cambridge University Press. {{ISBN|9781107073357}} In spite of the fact that his father fought in a war, Karadžić himself held no military-orientated ambitions. It is widely believed that he never served his then-obligatory 1-year long military service within the Yugoslav People's Army, as such claim was given by Stjepan Kljujić, who was a Croat-member of the Bosnian rotating presidency.{{cite web |url=https://dnevnik.hr/vijesti/svijet/karadzic-nije-sluzio-vojsku-i-piskio-je-u-krevet.html |title='Karadžić nije služio vojsku i piškio je u krevet' |website=dnevnik.hr |language=Croatian |date=22 July 2008 }}

Karadžić studied neurotic disorders and depression at Næstved Hospital in Denmark in 1970 and during 1974 and 1975 he underwent further medical training at Columbia University in New York.{{cite news|url=http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/europe/07/22/karadzic.profile/index.html|title=Karadzic: Psychiatrist-turned 'Butcher of Bosnia'|access-date=23 July 2008|date=22 July 2008|publisher=CNN}}{{cite web|url=http://www.moreorless.au.com/killers/karadzic.html|title=Info on graduate studies at Columbia U.|publisher=moreorless.au.com|access-date=26 July 2008|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080726045044/http://www.moreorless.au.com/killers/karadzic.html|archive-date=26 July 2008|df=dmy-all}} After his return to Yugoslavia, he worked in the Koševo Hospital in Sarajevo.{{Cite web|url=https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/karadzic/radovan/marketplace.html|title=Karadzic - The Marketplace Massacre And Radovan Karadzic {{!}} The World's Most Wanted Man|website=pbs.org|access-date=25 March 2016}} He was also a poet, influenced by Serbian writer Dobrica Ćosić, who encouraged him to go into politics. During his spell as an ecologist, he declared that "Bolshevism is bad, but nationalism is even worse".

Soon after graduation, Karadžić started working in a treatment centre at the psychiatric clinic of the main Sarajevo hospital, Koševo. According to testimony, he often boosted his income by issuing false medical and psychological evaluations to healthcare workers who wanted early retirement or to criminals who tried to avoid punishment by pleading insanity.{{cite book|author=Sudetic, Chuck|title=Blood and Vengeance: One Family's Story of the War in Bosnia|year=1999|location=New York|publisher=Penguin Books}} In 1983, Karadžić started working at a hospital in the Belgrade suburb of Voždovac. With his partner Momčilo Krajišnik, then manager of a mining enterprise Energoinvest, he managed to gain a loan from an agricultural-development fund, and they used it to build themselves houses in Pale, a Serb town above Sarajevo turned into a ski resort by the government.

On 1 November 1984, the two men were arrested for fraud and spent 11 months in detention before their friend Nikola Koljević managed to bail them out.{{cite book|author=Judah, Tim|title=The Serbs: History, Myth and the Destruction of Yugoslavia|url=https://archive.org/details/serbs00timj|url-access=registration|year=1997|location=New Haven and London|publisher=Yale University Press}} Due to a lack of evidence, Karadžić was released and his trial was brought to a halt. The trial was revived, however, and on 26 September 1985 Karadžić was sentenced to three years in prison for embezzlement and fraud. As he had already spent a year in detention, Karadžić did not serve the remaining sentence in prison.{{cite web|access-date=22 July 2008|url=http://www.politika.rs/rubrike/Hronika/Uhapshen-Radovan-Karadzic.sr.html|title=Radovan Karadžić captured|publisher=Serbian newspaper Politika}}

Following encouragement from Dobrica Ćosić, later the first president of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, and Jovan Rašković, leader of the Croatian Serbs, Karadžić cofounded the Serb Democratic Party ({{lang|sr-Latn|Srpska Demokratska Stranka}}) in Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1989. The party aimed at unifying the Republic's Bosnian Serb community and joining Croatian Serbs in leading them in remaining as part of Yugoslavia in the event of secession by those two republics from the federation.

Throughout September 1991, the SDS began to establish various "Serb Autonomous Regions" throughout Bosnia-Herzegovina. After the Bosnian parliament voted on sovereignty on 15 October 1991, a separate Serb Assembly was founded on 24 October 1991 in Banja Luka, to exclusively represent the Serbs in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The following month, Bosnian Serbs held a referendum which resulted in an overwhelming vote in favour of staying in a federal state with Serbia and Montenegro, as part of Yugoslavia. In December 1991, a top secret document, For the organisation and activity of the Serbian people in Bosnia-Herzegovina in extraordinary circumstances, was drawn up by the SDS leadership. This was a centralised programme for the takeover of each municipality in the country, through the creation of shadow governments and para-governmental structures through various "crisis headquarters", and by preparing loyalist Serbs for the takeover in co-ordination with the Yugoslav People's Army (JNA).{{cite book|last=Gow|first=James|title=The Serbian Project and Its Adversaries: A Strategy of War Crimes|year=2003|publisher=McGill-Queen's University Press|location=Montreal|isbn=978-1850654995|pages=122–123}}

On 9 January 1992, the Bosnian Serb Assembly proclaimed the Republic of the Serb People of Bosnia and Herzegovina (Република српског народа Босне и Херцеговине/Republika srpskog naroda Bosne i Hercegovine). On 28 February 1992, the constitution of the Serb Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina was adopted. It declared that the state's territory included Serb autonomous regions, municipalities, and other Serbian ethnic entities in Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as "all regions in which the Serbian people represent a minority due to the Second World War genocide" (although how this was established was never specified), and that it was to be a part of the federal Yugoslav state. On 29 February and 1 March 1992 a referendum on the independence of Bosnia and Herzegovina from Yugoslavia was held. Many Serbs boycotted the referendum and pro-independence Bosniaks (Bosnian Muslims) and Croats turned out.Nettelfield, Lara J. (2010). Courting Democracy in Bosnia and Herzegovina (p. 67).

Karadžić was voted President of Republika Srpska, the Bosnian Serb administration, in Pale on about 13 May 1992 after the breakup of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. At the time he assumed this position, his de jure powers, as described in the constitution of the Bosnian Serb administration, included commanding the army of the Bosnian Serb administration in times of war and peace, and having the authority to appoint, promote and discharge officers of the army. Karadžić made three trips to the UN in New York in February and March 1993 for negotiations on the future of Bosnia.{{cite web|url=http://www.yale.edu/lawweb/avalon/diana/karadzic/3junea.htm|title=Doe v.

On Friday 4 August 1995, with a massive Croatian military force poised to attack the Serb-held Krajina region in central Croatia, Karadžić announced he was removing General Ratko Mladić from his commandant post and assuming personal command of the VRS himself. Karadžić blamed Mladić for the loss of two key Serb-held towns in western Bosnia that had recently fallen to the Croats, and he used the loss of the towns as the excuse to announce his surprise command structure changes. General Mladić was demoted to an "adviser". Mladić refused to go quietly, claiming the support of the Bosnian Serb military and the people. Karadžić countered by attempting to pull political rank as well as denouncing Mladić as a "madman", but Mladić's popular support forced Karadžić to rescind his order on 11 August.[http://www.setimes.com/cocoon/setimes/xhtml/en_GB/features/setimes/special/karadzic/timeline The Hague's Most Wanted – timeline of events]. SETimes.com (21 July 2008). Retrieved 13 November 2010.

Karadžić was accused by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) of personal and command responsibility for numerous war crimes committed against non-Serbs, in his roles as Supreme Commander of the Bosnian Serb armed forces and President of the National Security Council of the Republika Srpska. He was accused by the same authority of being responsible for the deaths of more than 7,500 Bosniaks (Muslims). Under his direction and command, Bosnian Serb forces initiated the Siege of Sarajevo. He was accused by the ICTY of ordering the Srebrenica genocide in 1995, directing Bosnian Serb forces to "create an unbearable situation of total insecurity with no hope of further survival of life" in the UN safe area. He was also accused by the ICTY of ordering that United Nations personnel be taken hostage in May–June 1995.[http://www.icty.org/x/cases/karadzic/tdec/en/121211_1.pdf Prosecutor v. Radovan Karadžić], Decision of 11 December 2012, ICTY

He was jointly indicted by the International Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia in 1995, along with General Ratko Mladić. The indictment charged Karadžić on the basis of his individual criminal responsibility (Article 7(1) of the Statute) and superior criminal responsibility (Article 7(3) of the Statute) with:

• Five counts of crimes against humanity (Article 5 of the Statute – extermination, murder, persecutions on political, racial and religious grounds, persecutions, inhumane acts (forcible transfer));
• Three counts of violations of the laws of war (Article 3 of the Statute – murder, unlawfully inflicting terror upon civilians, taking hostages);
• One count of grave breaches of the Geneva Conventions (Article 2 of the Statute – willful killing).{{cite web|url=https://www.un.org/icty/glance/karadzic.htm|title=UN Indictment}}

Authorities missed arresting Karadžić in 1995 when he was an invitee of the United Nations. During his visit to the UN headquarters in 1993, he was handed a service of process for a civil claim under the United States of America's Alien Tort Act. The Courts ruled that Karadžić was properly served and the trial was allowed to proceed in a United States District Court.Kadić v. Karadžić, 70 F.3d 232 (2d Cir. 1995)

Karadžić's ability to evade capture for over a decade increased his esteem among some Bosnian Serbs, despite an alleged deal with Richard Holbrooke.{{cite news|url= http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7062288.stm|title=Hague probes Karadzic 'deal' claim |publisher= BBC |access-date=24 July 2008|date=26 October 2007}} Some sources allege that he received protection from the United States as a consequence of the Dayton Agreement.{{cite news|title=Radovan Karadzic 'was under US protection until 2000'|work=The Telegraph|url= https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/serbia/2496948/Karadzic-was-under-US-protection.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220112/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/serbia/2496948/Karadzic-was-under-US-protection.html |archive-date=12 January 2022 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live |author=Jon Swaine|date=4 August 2008|access-date=13 July 2015|location=London, UK}}{{cbignore}} Holbrooke, however, repeatedly denied that such a deal was ever made.{{cite news|url= http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7062288.stm |title=Hague probes Karadzic 'deal' claim|access-date=13 July 2015|publisher=BBC|author=Nick Hawton|date=26 October 2007}}

During his time as fugitive he was helped by several people, including Boško Radonjić and in 2001, hundreds of supporters demonstrated in support of Karadžić in his home town.{{cite web|url= http://www.esquire.com/features/radovan-karadzic-1297 |title=Radovan Karadzic: A Deeply Misunderstood Mass Murderer|access-date=28 July 2008|publisher=Esquire}} In March 2003, his mother Jovanka publicly urged him to surrender.{{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2006/jul/01/comment.warcrimes|title=Whatever happened to ...

British officials conceded military action was unlikely to be successful in bringing Karadžić and other suspects to trial, and that putting political pressure on Balkan governments would be more likely to succeed.{{cite web|url=http://www.iiss.org/whats-new/iiss-in-the-press/july-2008/karadzic-snared-by-spy-tip-and-political-will/|title=Karadzic snared by spy tip and political will|publisher=The International Institute For Strategic Studies|access-date=26 July 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080813031615/http://www.iiss.org/whats-new/iiss-in-the-press/july-2008/karadzic-snared-by-spy-tip-and-political-will|archive-date=13 August 2008}}

In May 2004, the UN learned that: "the brother of a war crimes suspect allegedly in the process of providing information on Radovan Karadžić and his network to the ICTY, was mistakenly killed in a raid by the Republika Srpska police" and added that "It is being argued that the informer was targeted in order to silence him before he was able to say more."{{cite web|url=http://www.unhcr.org/refworld/pdfid/42f736424.pdf|title=Update on Conditions for Return to Bosnia and Herzegovina (2005)|access-date=13 July 2015|page=3}}

In 2005, Bosnian Serb leaders called on Karadžić to surrender, stating that Bosnia and Serbia could not move ahead economically or politically while he remained at large. After a failed raid earlier in May, on 7 July 2005 NATO troops arrested Karadžić's son, Aleksandar, but released him after 10 days.{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/4659319.stm|title=Nato troops arrest Karadzic's son|publisher=BBC|date=7 July 2005|access-date=13 July 2015}} On 28 July, Karadžić's wife, Ljiljana, made a call for him to surrender after what she called "enormous pressure".{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/4725923.stm|title=Karadzic's wife urges surrender|publisher=BBC|date=29 July 2005|access-date=4 January 2010}} See also:{{cite web|url=http://arhiva.glas-javnosti.rs/arhiva/2005/07/29/srpski/P05072807.shtml|title=Radovane, predaj se!|publisher=Yugoslavia News|date=29 July 2005|access-date=13 July 2015}}

The BBC reported that Karadžić had been sighted in 2005 near Foča: "38 km (24 miles) down the road, on the edge of the Sutjeska National Park, Radovan Karadžić has just got out of a red Mercedes" and asserted that "Western intelligence agencies knew roughly where they were, but that there was no political will in London or Washington to risk the lives of British, or U.S. agents, in a bid to seize" him and Mladić.{{cite news|title=Why Bosnia's most wanted run free|publisher=BBC|date=28 June 2008|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/programmes/from_our_own_correspondent/7477912.stm|access-date=13 July 2015}}

He had obtained a Croatian passport in the name of Petar Glumac and claimed to be in Vienna for training.{{cite web |url=http://www.apa.at/cms/site/news_item.html?channel=CH0069&doc=CMS1217014246968 |title=Karadzic nannte sich "Peter Schauspieler" |access-date=26 July 2008 |publisher=Austria Press Agency |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110531200419/http://www.apa.at/cms/site/news_item.html?channel=CH0069&doc=CMS1217014246968 |archive-date=31 May 2011 |df=dmy-all }} The police did not ask any further questions nor demanded to fingerprint him as he appeared calm and readily answered questions.{{cite news |url=https://www.reuters.com/article/worldNews/idUSL543550020080725?pageNumber=1&virtualBrandChannel=0 |title=Karadzic escaped arrest in Austria last year |access-date=26 July 2008 |publisher=Reuters |first=Boris |last=Groendahl |date=25 July 2008 }} Nevertheless, this claim came into doubt when a man named Petar Glumac, an alternative medical practitioner from Banatsko Novo Selo, Serbia, claims to have been the person the police talked with in Vienna.{{cite web |url=http://www.novosti.rs/vesti/naslovna/aktuelno.293.html:219746-Dabic-glumio-Glumca |title=Dabić glumio Glumca |first=V. |last=Popović |website=novosti.rs |language=bs |date=27 July 2008 |access-date=21 April 2017 }} Glumac reportedly bears a striking resemblance to Karadžić's appearance as Dragan Dabić.{{cite news |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/serbia/2465136/Radovan-Karadzic-stole-a-lookalikes-image.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220112/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/serbia/2465136/Radovan-Karadzic-stole-a-lookalikes-image.html |archive-date=12 January 2022 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live |title=Radovan Karadzic stole a lookalike's image |newspaper=The Daily Telegraph |date=28 July 2008 |access-date=21 April 2017 }}{{cbignore}} Dragan Karadžić, his nephew, claimed in an interview to the Corriere della Sera that Karadžić attended football matches of Serie A and visited Venice under the name of Petar Glumac.{{cite web|url=http://www.corriere.it/esteri/08_luglio_27/karadzic_italia_tifo_inter_517d3d86-5bb0-11dd-b836-00144f02aabc.shtml|title=Mio zio Karadzic in Italia: allo stadio per tifare Inter|work=Corriere della Sera|language=it|access-date=20 December 2010}}

File:Initial appearance Radovan Karadžić at his trial - 31 July 2008.jpg in July 2008]]

The arrest of Radovan Karadžić took place on 21 July 2008 in Batajnica, Belgrade although Karadžić's lawyer claimed the arrest occurred earlier on 18 July. He was recorded leaving an apartment on Yuri Gagarin Street registered under the name "Maksimović" and boarding a bus bound for Vrdnik, from where he planned to cross into Croatia. He later admitted to having several alternate hide-outs around Serbia and that he had switched residences four times within the month. Karadžić stated that he intended to turn himself in sometime in January 2009, as he believed that any legal recourse against him would be handled by the Serbian government rather than international authorities by the end of the year.{{cite news |url=http://www.wtop.com/?nid=383&sid=1444312 |title=Karadzic interviewed about details of his arrest |access-date=26 July 2008 |agency=Associated Press}}{{Cite web |last= |first= |date=2008-07-22 |title=Karadžić uhapšen u autobusu GSP-a |url=https://www.blic.rs/vesti/tema-dana/karadzic-uhapsen-u-autobusu-gsp-a/ejccjfz |access-date= |website=Blic.rs |language=sr}}

Karadžić was transferred into ICTY custody in The Hague on 30 July.{{cite news |url=http://www.gmanews.tv/story/110336/Karadzic-being-held-in-same-jail-as-Milosevic-was|title=Karadzic being held in same jail as Milosevic |publisher=gmanews.tv |access-date=13 July 2015 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110522062729/http://www.gmanews.tv/story/110336/Karadzic-being-held-in-same-jail-as-Milosevic-was |archive-date=22 May 2011}} Karadžić appeared before judge Alphons Orie on 31 July, in the tribunal, which has sentenced 64 accused since 1993.{{cite web |url=http://www.icty.org/sid/24 |title=ICTY -TPIY: Key Figures |publisher=ICTY}} During the first hearing Radovan Karadžić expressed a fear for his life by saying: "If Holbrooke wants my death and regrets there is no death sentence at this court, I want to know if his arm is long enough to reach me here."{{cite news |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/07/31/AR2008073100363.html?hpid=moreheadlines |title=Karadzic appears at UN court |newspaper=Washington Post |date=1 August 2008 |access-date=20 December 2010}} and stated that the deal he made with Richard Holbrooke is the reason why it took 13 years for him to appear in front of the ICTY.{{cite web |agency=AFP |url=http://afp.google.com/article/ALeqM5gZy0ZegDYcy8yLg1vT7wnZjJcRvw |title=Holbrooke promised no ICTY trial: Karadzic |date=1 August 2008 |access-date=20 December 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100910070936/http://afp.google.com/article/ALeqM5gZy0ZegDYcy8yLg1vT7wnZjJcRvw |archive-date=10 September 2010 |df=dmy-all }} He made similar accusations against the former U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright.{{cite news |agency=AFP |url=http://afp.google.com/article/ALeqM5hDjfrs7G6ubbn16kfGGmiJuCRu0Q |title=US wants me dead: Karadžić |date=1 August 2008 |access-date=20 December 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110520153719/http://afp.google.com/article/ALeqM5hDjfrs7G6ubbn16kfGGmiJuCRu0Q |archive-date=20 May 2011 |df=dmy-all }} Muhamed Sacirbey, Bosnian foreign minister at the time, claimed that a Karadžić-Holbrooke deal was made in July 1996.{{Cite news |date=1 August 2008 |title=Karadzic: 'US wants me dead' |page=1 |work=Aljazeera |url=https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2008/8/1/karadzic-us-wants-me-dead}}

In August 2008, Karadžić claimed there is a conspiracy against him and refused to enter a plea, whereupon the court entered a plea of not guilty on his behalf to all 11 charges.{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7587623.stm |work=BBC News |title=Karadzic refuses war crimes pleas |date=29 August 2008 |access-date=22 May 2010}} He called the tribunal, chaired by Scottish judge Iain Bonomy, a "court of NATO" disguised as a court of the international community.{{cite news |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/30/world/europe/30hague.html?ref=europe |title=Karadzic Declines to Plead at War Crimes Court |work=The New York Times |first=Marlise |last=Simons |date=30 August 2008}}

On 13 October 2009, the BBC reported that Karadžić's plea to be granted immunity from his charges was denied. However, the start of his trial was moved to 26 October so he could prepare a defense.{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/8305707.stm |title=Karadzic immunity appeal rejected |work=BBC News |date=13 October 2009 |access-date=13 July 2015}}

On Monday 26 October 2009, Karadžić's trial was suspended after 15 minutes after he carried out his threat to boycott the start of the hearing. Judge O-Gon Kwon said that in the absence of Karadžić, who was defending himself, or any lawyer representing him, he was suspending the case for 24 hours, when the prosecution would begin its opening statement.{{cite news |first=Alex |last=Watts |date=26 October 2009 |url=http://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/World-News/Radovan-Karadzic-Beast-Of-Bosnia-Boycotts-Start-Of-His-Geno |title='Beast Of Bosnia' Boycotts Genocide Trial |publisher=Sky News Online |access-date=28 January 2010}} On 5 November 2009, the court imposed a lawyer on him, and postponed his trial until 1 March 2010.{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/8344851.stm |work=BBC News |title=Court imposes lawyer on Karadzic |date=5 November 2009 |access-date=22 May 2010}}

On 26 November 2009, Karadžić filed a motion challenging the legal validity and legitimacy of the tribunal, claiming that "the UN Security Council lacked the power to establish the ICTY, violated agreements under international law in so doing, and delegated non-existent legislative powers to the ICTY",{{cite web |url=http://icr.icty.org/LegalRef/CMSDocStore/Public/English/Motions/NotIndexable/IT-95-5%2318/MOT7937R0000278701.pdf |title=IT-95-5/18: Motion challenging the legal validity and legitimacy of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (English, 16 Pages) |date=20 November 2009 |access-date=20 December 2010}} to which the Prosecution response was that "The Appeals Chamber has already determined the validity of the Tribunal’s creation in previous decisions which constitute established precedent on this issue", therefore dismissing the Motion.{{cite web |url=http://icr.icty.org/LegalRef/CMSDocStore/Public/English/Response/NotIndexable/IT-95-5%2318/MRA18498R0000278901.pdf |title=IT-95-5/18: Prosecution response to motion challenging the legal validity and legitimacy of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (2 Pages) |date=1 December 2009 |access-date=20 December 2010}} The prosecution started its case on 13 April 2010, and completed it on 25 May 2012.{{cite web |title=Radovan Karadžić (IT-95-5/18) Case Information Sheet |url=http://www.icty.org/x/cases/karadzic/cis/en/cis_karadzic_en.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131204094800/http://www.icty.org/x/cases/karadzic/cis/en/cis_karadzic_en.pdf |archive-date=4 December 2013 |url-status=live}} The discovery of more than 300 previously unknown bodies in a mass grave at the Tomasica mine near Prijedor in September 2013 caused a flurry of motions which ended with the court denying reopening prosecutorial evidence.{{cite news |date=20 March 2014 |newspaper=Sense Agency |title=Tomasica Evidence 'Not in the Interest of Justice' |url=http://www.sense-agency.com/icty/tomasica-evidence-%E2%80%98not-in-the-interest-of-justice%E2%80%99.29.html?news_id=15799 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140401071558/http://www.sense-agency.com/icty/tomasica-evidence-%E2%80%98not-in-the-interest-of-justice%E2%80%99.29.html?news_id=15799 |archive-date=1 April 2014 |url-status=live}} The defence began its case on 16 October 2012 and completed it in March 2014; Karadžić decided not to testify.{{cite news |title=Karadzic Decides not to Testify in His Own Defence |date=20 February 2014 |newspaper=Sense Agency |url=http://www.sense-agency.com/icty/karadzic-decides-not-to-testify-in-his-own-defense.29.html?cat_id=1&news_id=15735 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140227115820/http://www.sense-agency.com/icty/karadzic-decides-not-to-testify-in-his-own-defense.29.html?cat_id=1&news_id=15735 |archive-date=27 February 2014 |url-status=live}} Closing arguments in the case began on 29 September 2014 and were concluded on 7 October 2014,[http://www.icty.org/x/cases/karadzic/cis/en/cis_karadzic_en.pdf Case information sheet: Radovan Karadžić], ICTY Karadžić having failed in his demand for a re-trial.{{cite news |title=NO RE-MATCH IN KARADZIC CASE |date=14 August 2014 |newspaper=Sense Agency |url=http://www.sense-agency.com/icty/no-re-match-in-karadzic-case.29.html?news_id=16054 |access-date=13 July 2015 |archive-date=26 August 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140826113206/http://www.sense-agency.com/icty/no-re-match-in-karadzic-case.29.html?news_id=16054 |url-status=dead }}

Karadžić and Mladić were placed on trial for charges of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes committed in Srebrenica, Prijedor, Ključ, and other districts of Bosnia. They were charged, separately, with:Paul R. Bartrop. (20116). Bosnian Genocide: The Essential Reference Guide, p. 113. ABC-CLIO. {{ISBN|9781440838699}}.

• Count 1: Genocide.
• Municipalities: Bratunac, Foča, Ključ, Kotor Varoš, Prijedor, Sanski Most, Vlasenica and Zvornik.
• On 28 June 2012, the trial chamber granted a defence motion for acquittal on this count as "the evidence, even if taken at its highest, did not reach the level from which a reasonable trier of fact could conclude that genocide occurred in the municipalities [in question]". Motions for acquittal on nine other counts were dismissed. The Appeals Chamber subsequently concluded that the court had erred and reinstated Count 1 on 11 July 2013.
• Count 2: Genocide.
• Municipality: Srebrenica.
• Count 3: Persecutions on Political, Racial and Religious Grounds, a Crime Against Humanity.
• Municipalities: Banja Luka, Bijeljina, Bosanska Krupa, Bosanski Novi, Bratunac, Brčko, Foča, Hadžići, Ilidža, Kalinovik, Ključ, Kotor Varoš, Novo Sarajevo, Pale, Prijedor, Rogatica, Sanski Most, Sokolac, Trnovo, Vlasenica, Vogošća, Zvornik, and Srebrenica.
• Count 4: Extermination, a Crime Against Humanity.
• Count 5: Murder, a Crime Against Humanity.
• Count 6: Murder, a Violation of the Laws or Customs of War.
• Count 7: Deportation, a Crime Against Humanity.
• Count 8: Inhumane Acts (forcible transfer), a Crime Against Humanity.
• Count 9: Acts of Violence the Primary Purpose of which is to Spread Terror among the Civilian Population, a Violation of the Laws or Customs of War.
• Count 10: Unlawful Attacks on Civilians, a Violation of the Laws or Customs of War.
• Count 11: Taking of Hostages, a Violation of the Laws or Customs of War.

The Yugoslav war crimes court rejected one of the two genocide charges against Karadžić on 27 June 2012.{{cite web |url= http://www.icty.org/x/cases/karadzic/ind/en/markedup_indictment_091019.pdf |title= Prosecutor's Marked-up Indictment |id= ICTY Case No. IT-95-5/18-PT |work= The Prosecutor v Radovan Karadzic |date= 19 October 2009 |access-date= 7 June 2011 |publisher= United Nations }}{{cite web |url= http://www.icty.org/x/cases/mladic/ind/en/110601.pdf |title= Prosecutor's Marked-up Indictment |id= ICTY Case No. IT-09-92-I |work= The Prosecutor v Radovan Karadzic |edition= 2nd amended |date= 1 June 2011 |access-date= 7 June 2011 |publisher= United Nations }} However, on 11 July 2013, the Appeals Chamber reinstated these charges.

On 24 March 2016, he was found guilty of genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity, and sentenced to 40 years imprisonment.{{Cite web |url=http://www.cnn.com/2016/03/24/europe/karadzic-war-crimes-verdict/index.html |title=Karadzic sentenced to 40 years for genocide |website=CNN |date=24 March 2016 |access-date=25 March 2016}} He was found guilty of genocide for the Srebrenica massacre, which aimed to kill "every able-bodied male" in the town and systematically exterminate the Bosnian Muslim community. He was also convicted of persecution, extermination, deportation and forcible transfer (ethnic cleansing), and murder in connection with his campaign to drive Bosnian Muslims and Croats out of villages claimed by Serb forces. He avoided conviction on a second count of genocide in seven Bosnian towns but was found guilty in that case on a reduced charge of extermination.

On 27 February 2018, it was announced by the Mechanism for International Criminal Tribunals that hearings for the appeal against the conviction were set on 23 April 2018.{{Cite web |url=http://www.balkaninsight.com/en/article/radovan-karadzic-genocide-appeal-hearings-set-for-april-02-28-2018 |title=Radovan Karadzic Genocide Appeal Hearings Set for April |website=Balkan Insight|date=28 February 2018 |access-date=28 February 2018}} The appeal was rejected on 20 March 2019, and the sentence was increased to life imprisonment.
