After 16 years on the run, the Serbian warlord Ratko Mladic has appeared in court accused of genocidal massacre.
The 69 year old was hauled before a judge on Thursday, but the hearing was cut short because of what his lawyer called Mladic's "poor physical state."
He looked frail and haggard as he asserted he would not answer to the authority of the United Nations tribunal.
Mladic was captured following an early-morning raid by Serbian security forces on a relative's home in a village 60 miles north east of the capital, Belgrade.
He is accused of ordering the genocidal massacre of 8 thousand Bosnian Muslim men and boys during the war of 1992-95.
Mladic's court appearance marks the first step towards facing trial at The Hague for international war crimes.
