A Dutch court rejected a challenge by former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic to his detention by a United Nations war crimes tribunal in The Hague.
Roel Paris, a district judge in The Hague, ruled that the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia is a legal court and that Dutch courts had no jurisdiction.
Milosevic’s lawyers, who say the former leader was kidnapped and should be set free, are expected to appeal the ruling.
