Ivory
Coast's ex-President Laurent Gbagbo has denied charges of war crimes and crimes
against humanity, as his landmark trial began at the International Criminal
Court (ICC).
The charges relate to the country's civil conflict
that erupted after Mr Gbagbo lost elections in 2010.
Prosecutors
accuse him of orchestrating a "campaign of violence".
Mr Gbagbo,
70, and ex-militia leader Charles Ble Goude, 44, deny murder, rape, attempted
murder and persecution.
The trial
at the court in The Hague, in the Netherlands, could last three or four years.
