Beginning of Case 002 represents justice for victims of the Khmer Rouge, however delayed
The beginning of Case 002 will be a cathartic moment for all Cambodians. While the crimes of the Khmer Rouge were committed over a quarter of a century ago, they remain ingrained in Cambodia’s collective psyche. I hope that this trial – coming as it does so many years after the crimes alleged against the accused were committed – provides all victims with some sense of justice, however delayed that justice may be.

The Right Not to Be Compelled to Confess Guilt
“This International Day in Support of Victims of Torture the Cambodian Center for Human Rights (“CCHR”) supports victims of torture and condemns the practice of torture. Torture is a heinous crime and is especially repugnant when utilized by law enforcement personnel to extract confessions of guilt from those accused of a crime. Allegations of violence or coercion leveled at police erode the public’s trust in police and the wider justice system as a whole. Any evidence obtained by such means must be deemed inadmissible by the courts. Perpetrators of torture must be brought to justice after an investigation by an independent preventative mechanism.”
