THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) - The presiding judge in the appeal by Radovan
Karadzic against his genocide and war crimes convictions has removed himself
from the case following a request by the former Bosnian Serb leader's
lawyer.

The decision Thursday by American Judge Theodor Meron could delay a ruling
in the appeal that had been expected before the end of the year.

Meron's decision follows a ruling removing him and two other judges from the
appeal of Karadzic's former military chief, Gen. Ratko Mladic, for
appearance of bias because they had previously convicted lower-ranking
Bosnian Serb officers.

Karadzic was convicted in March 2016 on 10 counts including genocide, crimes
against humanity and war crimes as the political mastermind behind Serb
crimes in the 1992-95 Bosnian war. He was acquitted of one genocide charge.
