Idelphonse Nizeyimana entered his plea Wednesday at the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda.
Nizeyimana is accused of ordering the killing of children, hospital patients, priests and even an elderly and revered African queen.
He had been on the run for 15 years with a $5 million bounty on his head when he was captured in Uganda earlier this month.
