International Standards for the Extraordinary Chambers for Prosecution of Crimes Committed During the Period of Democratic Kampuchea
We welcome the Royal Government of Cambodia and the International Community’s determination to ensure the fairness, credibility, independence and impartiality of the Extraordinary Chambers (EC). In order to achieve this, CHRAC and other members of civil society have made multiple requests on the above topics, yet many of our questions remain unanswered.
