“Only a full-time qualified senior official who is experienced with victims rights can deal adequately with the thousands of victims seeking participation in the second case.”Khmer Rouge tribunal officials are prepared to appoint a new head of the court's victims unit as judges move toward a second trial of regime leaders, two court monitors said Tuesday.
That appointment is expected to go to Rong Chhorng, who is currently the acting head of the unit, officially known as the Victims Support Section, and will coincide with the appointment of the head of civil party attorneys and the head of outreach for the victims unit, according to the monitors.
