In attendance at the trial are surviving victims of the Khmer Rouge regime, which killed up to 2 million people between 1975 and 1979.
The trial of former prison chief Kaing Guek Eav -- better known as Duch -- began in February and a verdict is expected early next year.
The order of proceedings in the final week of the trial sees civil parties present their arguments on Monday, followed by the prosecution’s closing statement on Tuesday. The defence will then speak on Wednesday and Thursday, after which civil parties and the prosecution will present rebuttal statements. The defence will then have one hour to make their closing argument, including any final statements by the defendant.
