BBC News: Karadzic 'will appear at trial'
Former Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic says he will appear at his trial in The Hague on genocide and war crimes charges.

He boycotted the trial's start last week saying he needed more time to prepare his defence.

In a letter to the presiding judge, Mr Karadzic says he will attend a procedural hearing at the court on Tuesday to discuss his defence.

Can someone explain to me how not turning up was ever an option? if you or I had been arrested for something, when the trial date had come up and theyd come to my cell if we'd said "No thanks gents, dont fancy attending" then  we would have found a couple of burly gents grabbing either side of us and moving us to the dock without our feet touching the ground.

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.
