The Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC) has published form for victims wishing to take part in the trials, local media reported Monday.

Posted in English and Khmer at the court's website, the form comes with detailed instructions on how victims, witnesses and civil parties can participate in the tribunal, the Cambodia Daily newspaper said.

Though the court's planned Victims Unit is yet to be fully staffed and funded, prosecutors are actively accepting complaints and co-investigating judges are taking civil party applications, which allow victims to participate in trials and seek compensation, Helen Jarvis, tribunal Public Affairs chief, was quoted as saying.

"The fact that we're putting information out there means we're ready to accept applications," she said, adding that the Victims Unit is imminently operational.

ECCC was designed by the United Nations and the Cambodian government to try former Democratic Kampuchea (DK) leaders on charges of crimes against humanity between 1975 and 1979.

The whole process is expected to cost 56.3 million U.S. dollars.

In your fantasy, dude, you burned your Cambodia down to the ground and then left, remember? This is a new Cambodia, and it belongs to all its liberators and its citizen within, and that's it.

So, scram!
