The Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia

ders Prosecutors and lawyers for the two Khmer Rouge leaders and thousands of civil par es in Case 002 are now re-scheduled to make their final state-­‐ ments from 16 – 31 October at the Trial Chamber of the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cam-­‐ bodia. In a memo issued on 22 August, the chamber announced an adjusted schedule for closing submis-­‐ sions in the first trial in Case 002, which focuses on crimes against humanity allegedly commi ed in the course of two popula on movements and execu-­‐ ons of members of Lon Nol regime at Tuol Po Chrey in Pursat. In this case, former Deputy Secre-­‐ tary of Communist Party of Kampuchea, Nuon Chea, and former Head of State Khieu Samphan stand trial. The chamber has revised the hearing of oral Closing Statements to begin on 16 October at 9 am, instead of the previously scheduled date of 9 Octo-­‐ ber. This revision was made as the chamber had admi ed into evidence about 2,000 more docu-­‐ ments since it confirmed the ini al schedule on 24 July. The hearing of closing statements is expected to con nue every day except for public holidays during the la er half of October (16, 17, 18, 21, 22, 24, 25, 28, 30 and 31 October) where the par es will make their presenta ons in the following order:

1. Lead Co-Lawyers for Civil Par es make final statements (up to 1 day) 2. Co-Prosecutors make final statements, includ-ing a request for sentencing (up to 3 days) 3. Nuon Chea's Defence lawyers/the accused make final statements (up to 2 days) 4. Khieu Samphan's Defence lawyers/the accused make final statements (up to 2 days) 5. Lead Co-Lawyers and Co-Prosecutors make rebu al statements (up to 1 day) 6. Nuon Chea, Khieu Samphan and their lawyers make final statements (up to 2 hours each team, total 4 hours) The chamber advises that the final statements may be completed earlier than the 31 October, as the par es are required to begin their oral submis-sions immediately following the close of the previous party's submissions. The hearing of closing statements is open to the public. Although the ECCC is equipped with a 484seat public gallery to accommodate a large number of visitors, members of the public, par cularly groups of more than five people, are encouraged to pre-register to secure seats.

Visit by New Zealand Governor General Shows Renewed Support
The Governor-General of New Zea-land, de facto head of state, made an offi-cial visit on 9 August to the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia, and announced a new financial contribu on which signaled the country's commitment to support the court's historic work. Lt Gen Sir Jerry Mateparae led a 14member delega on to the court during his state visit to Cambodia. This was the first me that a leader at the head of state level had visited the ECCC in its past seven years of opera on. The Governor-General was welcomed by Deputy Prime Minister Sok An, who is Chairman of the Royal Government of Cambodia Task Force for the Khmer Rouge Trials, and ECCC's Ac ng Director of Ad-ministra on Tony Kranh. The par es dis-cussed the progress the court has made so far and the challenges that lie ahead to accomplish its mandate. "We recognise that the people of Cambodia have looked to the tri-bunal to assist in the process of na onal recon-cilia on," said the Governor-General dur-ing the welcoming mee ng. "New Zealand will con nue to help the tribunal to com-plete its work prosecu ng the senior lead-ers of the Khmer Rouge." The Governor-General then announced that his country would contribute NZ$ 200,000, approximately US$170,000, to the na onal side of the court, which has been facing financial challenges to raise necessary funding. Due to chronic short-age of funds, staff members of the na on-al side of the ECCC had not been paid since May. "We are grateful to hear New Zealand's addi onal contribu on to support the ECCC to complete the cases before the court," said Mr Sok An during the mee ng on behalf of the Royal Government, which is re-sponsible for the payment of salaries of na on-al staff. "The announcement came at a cri cal moment when the Trial Chamber is preparing to hear final submissions in Case 002/01 before a judgment. The pledge signals a renewed com-mitment of donors to support the court to bring jus ce to Cambodians." During the visit, the Governor-General and his delega on also met with Trial Chamber President Nil Nonn and Judge Silvia Cartwright from New Zealand to gain insight into the work-ing of the tribunal, and toured the main court-room together. New Zealand has supported the ECCC since its incep on and has donated NZ$1.2 million before the August visit. The last contribu on was made when Prime Minister John Key visit-ed the court last November. The new contribu-on would bring the New Zealand's total contri-bu on to NZ$1.4 million. The na onal component of the ECCC has since spent the new contribu on to cover the unpaid salaries of May and a part of June of about 250 na onal staff. The na onal compo-nent s ll requires another US$2.9 million to cover the cost of opera ons and staff salaries for the rest of 2013.

E.U. Pledges €3 Million to Support the ECCC
The European Union announced on 21 August a new pledge of 3 million Euro, around US$3.9 million, to the Extraordi-nary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia to support its historic work to address horrific crimes commi ed during the Khmer Rouge regime. The pledge was made for the interna-onal component of the ECCC to support the payment of salaries in 2013 for the interna onal judges, prosecutors and legal support staff. The funding would be ad-ministered by the United Na ons, accord-ing to a statement issued by the EU Cam-bodia office. "This new contribu on to the ECCC, the first to its interna onal component, is a renewed proof of the commitment of the European Union to deliver jus ce for the Cambodian people," EU Ambassador Jean-Francois Cautain said. The EU is one of the major donors of the ECCC, and had provided US$5.3 million to the na onal component - about 11 per-cent of its total donor contribu onsin the last six years. This is the first me that the EU has extended its support to the interna onal side of the court, and has made an agreement with the Cambodian government as to how the funds will be used. ECCC's Ac ng Director of Administra-on Tony Kranh expressed his gra tude to the EU for its renewed support on behalf of the court. "We are very grateful for the con nuous support offered by the Europe-an Union, which par cipates directly in bringing jus ce to the vic ms of the Khmer Rouge and strengthening na onal judicial reform in Cambodia," he said.

News & Notes
The Trial Chamber in the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia consid-ers that all seven proposed repara on pro-jects specified by the legal representa ves of Civil Par es "appropriately acknowledge the harm suffered" by them, according to a memo issued on 1 August. The memo was a response to the ini al specifica on of priority repara on projects submi ed by the Civil Party Lead Co-Lawyers back in February. In the specifica on, the co-lawyers pre-sented seven projects under three catego-ries of "Remembrance and Memorializa-on", "Rehabilita on" and "Documenta on and Educa on". Among the seven projects are (1) the establishment of a public holiday of remembrance, (2) the provision of an opportunity for civil par es to address their psychological suffering through the NGO project "Tes monial Therapy" and (3) the construc on of a permanent exhibi on showing photos, documents and other dis-plays of survivors' experiences. "In principle the measures proposed under all three categories appropriately acknowledge the harm suffered by Civil Par es … and provide benefits to the Civil Par es which address this harm," states the 1 August memo.
In the memo, the chamber further re-quests the lead co-lawyers to present "proof of the willingness of [Royal Govern-ment of Cambodia] or any other concerned par es" to implement those measures in the first category. The chamber also re-quests the lawyers to clarify the specifica-on of each proposed repara on project in the second and third categories. No ng the ECCC's internal rules which require secure funding for repara on measures to be awarded by the court, the chamber also requests the co-lawyers to address the issue of funding in their final claim for repara ons to be submi ed by 26 September. The lead co-lawyers have since filed further informa on concerning sponsor-ship, funding and implementa on of pro-posed projects. They have indicated that they would present the final list of repara-ons sought as well as further details con-cerning the feasibility of such projects in their final claim.

Villagers who tend to the fields stopped for a moment to meet with staff from the Public Affairs Sec on when they began distribu ng ECCC informa on booklets and outreach materials. The outreach team dis-cussed their knowledge of the tribunal before explaining the latest work of the court. Some villagers men oned that they had never heard of the court before, while others stated that they had only heard limited news and informa on of the ECCC on their radios. Nget Hom, a clerk for the Krang Leav commune council, stated that due to the isola on of the villagers, many are una-ble to par cipate in ECCC study tours to visit the court. "Receiving documents and direct in-forma on is just as beneficial as a visit to the ECCC," he said, smiling. "Although we are unable to go to the court, we now have infor-ma on about the Khmer Rouge tribunal to read." The outreach field trips have been con-ducted since the early days of the ECCC to inform the public on the judicial proceedings.
