The Cambodian Bar has issued instructions forbidding lawyers from attending a training programme planned by the International Bar Association (IBA) and the Defence Office of the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia.
According to an International Bar Association press release, the Bar’s president, Ky Tech, has publicly threatened that ‘measures’ will be taken against any attendee, and against the IBA’s international participants. The prohibition by the Cambodian Bar is part of a wider scheme of opposition designed to obstruct the operation of the Tribunal. In consequence, the IBA has cancelled the programme. The training programme was to benefit lawyers seeking to take part in the trials of former Khmer Rouge leaders.
