HELEN Jarvis will retire from her position at the Khmer Rouge tribunal at the end of June, just over a year after the announcement of her controversial appointment as head of the court’s Victims Unit, court spokesman Reach Sambath said Wednesday.
The announcement comes as the unit, renamed the Victims Support Section (VSS) earlier this year, works to process the flood of civil party applications it received for its crucial second case.
Jarvis, who was named to her current post in June 2009 after serving as the court’s chief of public affairs, told colleagues at the tribunal that she was stepping down for “personal reasons”, Reach Sambath said.
