Khmer Rouge trial is failing Cambodian victims of Pol Pot’s regime
At a conference on Cambodia in Berkeley last week, an elderly Khmer man tearfully explained to me why he won’t go back to his homeland. "How can I go there and have any peace so long as the people who killed all of my family are still free?" The extraordinary chambers of the courts of Cambodia (ECCC), set up by the Cambodian government and the United Nations, were supposed to ease his way home. But after five years and more than $150m (£96m), the court has tried just one defendant, Kaing Guek Eav (alias Duch), the warden of the infamous Tuol Sleng detention centre where approximately 14,000 people were tortured and then executed. Repentant, Duch confessed and was convicted of crimes against humanity.

Joint Call by Civil Society for a Special Session of the UN Human Rights Council to consider the findings of the Syrian Commission of Inquiry and ensure accountability
As civil society organizations from around the world we urgently call on the United Nations (UN) Human Rights Council (HRC) to convene a special session on Syria immediately after the release of the report of the HRC International Commission of Inquiry on Syria (the Commission of Inquiry), which is due before the end of November 2011. We also call on the HRC to transmit the findings of the Commission of Inquiry to the UN Security Council. If the Commission of Inquiry finds that crimes under international law, including crimes against humanity, appear to have been committed by the Syrian government, we call on the HRC to urge the UN Security Council to refer the situation in Syria to the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC).
