Khmer Rouge tribunal judges on Wednesday issued a broad decision on the role victim parties will play in upcoming trials for aging senior leaders of the regime, while at the same time making genocide charges unlikely for crimes against a group of Khmer Kampuchea Krom.
The tribunal allows “civil parties,” or victims of the regime, a measure of participation in trials.
But the Pre-Trial Chamber judges said Tuesday only civil parties who can demonstrate they were affected by crimes being reviewed in the scope of an upcoming case—and not under the Khmer Rouge in general—will be able to participate.
