PHNOM PENH, June 24 (Xinhua) -- The Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC) is currently seeking funds of 50.3 million U.S. dollars for the period up to Dec. 31, 2009 for court operation, a press release from the ECCC said Tuesday.
These funds are composed of 39.5 million U.S. dollars for the U.N. budgetary component and 10.8 million U.S. dollars for the Cambodian side, the press release said.
The Cambodian side responded quicker than the U.N. side, Sean Visoth, director for the office of administration of ECCC, told reporters.
The Cambodian side has already received pledges of about four million U.S. dollars from friend countries and the Cambodian government contributed about one million U.S. dollars, he said, adding that they are waiting for the U.N. side.
The statement from ECCC said that in the judicial area, appeals against provisional detention have been lodged by all five charged persons and four of these have been heard, with the fifth due to be heard on June 30.
The co-investigating judges announced on May 15 that they had concluded the judicial investigation case No. 1 and that they are hoping to issue the closing order in July, the statement said, adding that they are preparing for the trials to commence in September.
