The meeting between Cambodian and foreign officials of the Extraordinary Chambers in the Court of Cambodia (ECCC) is expected to complete sometimes next week, and the tribunal will be able to continue its work to bring to trial the former Khmer rouge leaders.

The meeting between the 29 Cambodian and foreign officials started on 31 May, and the meeting is expected to complete on 13 June.

Reach Sambath, ECCC spokesman, revealed some information about this more than one week long closed door meeting: “During the meeting of the last few days, there are a lot progress made, and we are happy with all the progress. This is a big hope for all the Cambodian victims who have been waiting, and they (victims) always ask us everyday the same question again and again as to when the trial will move on. Therefore, the meeting for the past full week produced numerous positive points.”

On Wednesday of next week, it is expected that the “Internal Rules,” which constituted a major obstacle to the progress of the trial of the former Khmer Rouge leaders, will be adopted.
