The first edition of the programme, The Secret Life of Radovan Karadzic, airs ahead of the imminent resumption of Karadzic’s trial at the International Criminal Court in The Hague.
Rageh Omaar travels to Serbia and Bosnia to investigate the decade-long period the former president of the Republika Srpska spent in hiding and examines his legacy in present-day Bosnia and beyond.

It’s important to note that Karadzic is not being tried at the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague. He is being tried at the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY). The main difference between the two courts, both located in The Hague, is that the ICTY is an ad-hoc (temporary) court formed by the UN to prosecute massive human rights atrocities and genocide in the former Yugoslavia, and the ICC is a permanent and independent treaty based court (110 member countries) with a much broader geographic jurisdiction.
