NEW YORK—The Open Society Justice Initiative is calling upon the United Nations to reconsider its commitment to the Khmer Rouge tribunal, following the recent resignation of International Co-Investigating Judge, Laurent Kasper-Ansermet. Judge Kasper-Ansermet is the second international judge to resign from the court in six months, due to apparent Cambodian government interference in the progress of investigations into five individuals alleged to have played significant roles in the commission of Khmer Rouge atrocities. The allegations against the five individually link them to the deaths of tens of thousands of people during the reign of the Khmer Rouge regime.
