Human rights organizations accused the UN of attempting to conceal its corruption investigation report for the Khmer Rouge Tribunal (ECCC).

According to the Phnom Penh Post newspaper published this week, legal experts demand that the UN provide a full disclosure of this report because its attempt to conceal it could undermine the credibility of the KR Tribunal which the UN helps pay for.

Brad Adams, Asia director of Human Rights Watch (HRW), told the newspaper that this tribunal does not have sufficient protection mechanism in place to prevent political influence from the government or to prevent the kickback corruption in the tribunal.

Helen Jarvis, head of the ECCC press office, said that the content of the (UNDP) audit is still in draft form, and that discussions are underway between the two parties involved (UNDP and ECCC). She added that it is not a public document.

A reliable source at the tribunal claimed that the results of the investigation confirmed the suspicion of corruption at the ECCC.

youns (vietnamese) are the China's
ethnic people, so youns culture and
their old characteristic letters are the
same as those of Chinese

No wonder that the tradition of this Chinese
ethnic people(youns called by Chinese and by
Asians) is that :
- vietnamese men in any country, most
of them are thieves or robbers
- and vietnamese women in any country,
most of them are prostitutes
