Japan to fund Cambodia center

Sunday, Dec. 27, 200

PHNOM PENH (Kyodo) - Japan has provided $2 million to construct a legal document center for the Khmer Rouge Tribunal, the Japanese Embassy in Cambodia said Saturday.
The assistance is to help implement a project by the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC) to build a legal document center, which may also house the Bar Association.
"The legal document center of the ECCC will store the records of the Khmer Rouge Tribunal, disclose those declassified documents to the public and enable Cambodian and foreign nationals, who have interests in the tribunal, such as researchers, lawyers and students, to have access to those records," the embassy said in a statement.
