The Cambodian side of the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC) will run out of money at the end of January 2008, local media said on Thursday.
The Cambodian side of the tribunal last year spent only 12.7 percent of its three-year, 13.2 million U.S. dollars of budget and the expenditures are expected to rise sharply in 2007, English newspaper the Cambodian Daily quoted the side's first annual report as saying.
However, it added, only 6.8 million U.S. dollars in the committed funds have actually been delivered, thus making the Cambodian side run out of money at the end of January 2008.
The court will launch a joint appeal for additional financing, ECCC Public Affairs Chief Helen Jarvis was quoted by the paper as saying.
ECCC was jointly designed by the United Nations and the Cambodian government to try former Democratic Kampuchea leaders on charges of crimes against humanity between 1975 and 1979. The whole process will cost 56.3 million U.S. dollars.
