Khmer Rouge, A Simple Matter of Justice

Overview

An unusual hybrid court established by the United Nations and the government of Cambodia, the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia is tasked with investigating and bringing to trial surviving Khmer Rouge officials charged with human rights abuses. Working within the framework of international human rights law, but against the backdrop of a complex political arrangement with the government of Cambodia, the prosecution not only must prove the guilt of former high-ranking officials but show that their crimes meet the judicial standards for war crimes, crimes against humanity, and even genocide.
