PLEADED GUILTY. JEAN KAMBANDA, 42, former Prime Minister of Rwanda, to genocide and crimes against humanity; before a U.N. tribunal in Arusha, Tanzania. Half a million people were slaughtered during his regime in 1994. He faces a maximum sentence of life in prison.
Dershowitz said he has thus far declined to defend Karadzic, who remains at large following two indictments by a United Nations (U.N.) war crimes tribunal for the former Yugoslavia.
But the professor also called the tribunal's case "weak" and left open the possibility that he would serve on Karadzic's legal team "if he were to surrender to the authorities and call."
The U.N. tribunal has charged Karadzic with genocide, crimes against humanity, crimes of war and grave breaches of the Geneva Convention.
Dershowitz did not comment on this strategy but focused instead on aspects of the U.N. tribunal's case.
