The Duch Trial – A Good Example For The Cambodian Courts
The Cambodian Center for Human Rights (“CCHR”) congratulates the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (“ECCC”) on the delivery of its verdict in the case of Kaing Guek Eav, “Duch”, the first senior cadre to be brought to justice for the crimes of the Khmer Rouge era. The trial of Duch constitutes an important model for the domestic courts in Cambodia to follow in terms of procedure and the rights of the accused. In this regard, the CCHR welcomes the five year reduction in the sentence given to Duch as a result of his illegal detention by the Cambodian Military between 10 May 1999 and 30 July 2007. This reduction in sentence provides a good example to the domestic courts of Cambodia, whose detention practices remain a serious concern, and serves as a reminder of the universality of human rights.
