Phnom Penh - An international organization monitoring the Khmer Rouge tribunal has warned that the court risks failing due to the "corrosive impact of political interference" by government officials.
In a hard-hitting report released late Tuesday in New York, the Open Society Justice Initiative (OSJI) said the United Nations, international donors and international court staff must demand an end to political interference to ensure its credibility.
"Troubling evidence exists that the Cambodian government is improperly attempting to limit what the court can and cannot do," the report stated.
It also said the court must be more transparent in its decision-making, saying it had overly favoured confidentiality over transparency.
