The Cambodian Bar Association says it has lifted its ban on foreign lawyers at planned trials of surviving Khmer Rouge leaders, lifting a significant barrier to getting them started.
Association president, Ky Tech, announced the move after the first day of talks with the London-based International Bar Association.
He says the Association's members are making a lot of compromises, and that means foreign lawyers can join them in the defence section of the Khmer Rouge.
"We are working on how to assign volunteer lawyers to represent the victims of the Khmer Rouge and defend the regime's leaders," he said.
The association's ban on the participation of foreign lawyers in United Nations-supported trials expected to last three years had cast doubts on whether they would go ahead.
"We are meeting and working together because we do not want to obstruct Khmer Rouge trials," Mr Ky said.
"I am optimistic we can work together."
Foreign and Cambodian judges are half way through two weeks of talks on agreeing on the fundamentals of how the trials will be run.
