An international judge at the UN-backed Khmer Rouge tribunal says an investigation into further controversial cases cannot take place until the court deals with its second trial.
“There is no suspect under examination before the end of file No. 2,” the UN investigating judge, Marcel Lemonde, said in an interview with VOA Khmer. “The priority of priorities is to complete the case file No. 2.”
The tribunal is currently working through case No. 002, which seeks to try Nuon Chea, Khieu Samphan, Ieng Sary and Ieng Thirith—and possibly already-tried Kaing Kek Iev—on atrocity crimes charges that include genocide.
