The Documentation Center of Cambodia says it has performed around $300,000 in unrecognized work for the UN-backed Khmer Rouge tribunal for services related to copying and distributing thousands of documents for the court.
The Documentation Center has spent more than a decade investigating the atrocities of the Khmer Rouge and has provided a wealth of documents to the court, often at its own cost.
According to court documents obtained Wednesday, Chhang Youk, director of the center, has written to tribunal administrators to say assistance from the center “now amounts to more than” $300,000 for the past four years.
