There’s been yet another dispute between Cambodian and international staff working on the Khmer Rouge tribunal.
The trial is jointly run by Cambodian and UN-appointed judges to prosecute those blamed for the deaths of more than 1.7 million people in the 1907s, but it’s been beset with allegations of corruption and political interference.
A replacement international judge, Laurent Kasper-Ansermet, has arrived in Cambodia to take over from German judge Sigmund Blunk who resigned in early October.
It’s new judge’s job to take over what’s known as “cases 3 and 4″ which the Cambodian government says should not go ahead.
Presenter: Sen Lam, Liam Cochrane
Speaker: You Bunleng, Cambodian investigating judge at the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia; Claire Duffy, tribunal monitor for Open Society Justice Initiative
