FACTBOX: The charges against Radovan Karadzic

(Reuters) - Former Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic faces 11 charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity related to the 1992-1995 Bosnian war in which 100,000 people were killed, including two charges of genocide.

He denies all the charges.

Here is a list of the charges he faces:

* GENOCIDE:

-- Karadzic is charged with committing, with others, genocide against Bosnian Muslims and Bosnian Croats. He is accused of participating in a 'joint criminal enterprise' (JCE) permanently to remove Bosnian Muslims and Bosnian Croats from the territories of Bosnia and Herzegovina claimed as Bosnian Serb territory.

-- He is indicted for taking part in another act of genocide, the 1995 massacre of Bosnian Muslim men and boys at Srebrenica, the worst atrocity in Europe since World War Two. Prosecutors say more than 7,000 were killed in organized and opportunistic executions.

* CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY:

-- The charge sheet alleges he committed, with others, planned, instigated, ordered, and aided and abetted persecutions against Bosnian Muslims and/or Bosnian Croats.

-- He is held responsible for acts of extermination and murder that formed part of the objective permanently to remove Bosnian Muslims and Bosnian Croats from Bosnian-Serb claimed territory, carried out between March 1992 and November 1995 by members of the Serb forces and Bosnian Serb political and governmental organs.

* VIOLATIONS OF THE LAWS OR CUSTOMS OF WAR:

-- Between April 1992 and November 1995, Karadzic, with other members of a JCE, implemented a military strategy that used sniping and shelling to kill, maim, wound and terrorize the inhabitants of Sarajevo.

-- The sniping and shelling in a 43-month siege, killed and wounded thousands of people of both sexes and all ages, including children and the elderly.

-- Between May 1995 and June 1995, Bosnian Serb forces detained more than 200 U.N. peacekeepers and military observers in various locations.

-- Prosecutors say threats were issued to third parties, including NATO and U.N. Commanders, that NATO air strikes on Bosnian Serb military targets would result in the injury, death or continued detention of the detainees. Some of the detainees were assaulted or otherwise maltreated during their captivity.
