The national and international judges from the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC) will hold a plenary meeting in June to discuss and approve the United Nations-backed tribunal's internal regulations, local media on Thursday quoted court officials as saying.
The meetings will run from June 4 to 13 after they convene separately on May 31 to reconsider their stance, reported French- language daily newspaper the Cambodge Soir.
Several months of disagreement among judges ended on April 28 when the Cambodian Bar Association offered to reduce registration fees to 500 U.S. dollars per year from 4,900 U.S. dollars for foreign lawyers wishing to practice at ECCC.
The internal rules are a prerequisite for ECCC, which is designed by the UN and the Cambodian government to try former Democratic Kampuchea (DK) leaders on charges of crimes against humanity between 1975 and 1979.
