The Khmer Rouge Tribunal (KRT) has appointed a new chief of personnel to the Cambodian side of the UN-backed court, which was rocked by corruption allegations earlier this month.
Keo Thy Vuth has been replaced by Rong Chhorng, the former secretary general of the National Committee for Population and Development (NCPD) at the Council of Ministers, KRT Public Affairs chief Helen Jarvis said yesterday.
“I am happy to have this opportunity to contribute to this institution which is of significant historical importance,” said Rong Chhorng.
Sean Visoth, the KRT’s chief of administration, said that he believed the appointment would strengthen the court, which is about to move into its crucial trial phase.
Helen Jarvis said that the court believes the appointment will strengthen the court’s human resources management.
Allegations of corruption among the Cambodian staff at the court recently resurfaced following previous accusations made by legal watchdog NGO the Open Society Justice Initiative.
The allegations, which prompted the UN Development Program to last week halt its funding to the court, are currently being reviewed by a UN oversight committee in New York.
The court is expected to hold its first public trial in September or October, with former S-21 torture center chief Kaing Guek Eav, alias Duch, facing the charge of crimes against humanity.

Arrivé à 27 ans dans les fourgons de l'armée vietnamienne en 1979, devenu ministre des affaires étrangères du gouvernement mis sur pied par Hanoï sur les ruines du "Kampuchéa démocratique" de Pol Pot, dans lequel il avait servi en position subalterne, Hun Sen a été pris pour l'une des marionnettes interchangeables du Vietnam communiste à la tête d'un pays vassalisé. Erreur. C'était un vrai nationaliste khmer qui s'est doublé d'un "animal" de pouvoir.

Edition abonnés Fiche pays : Cambodge
Né en 1952 dans un village du Centre-Est, il bénéficie d'une éducation secondaire à Phnom Penh. A 17 ans, se vieillissant d'un an, il entre dans l'insurrection communiste contre le régime proaméricain de Lon Nol, qui a renversé le prince-père de la nation, Norodom Sihanouk. Il prend la tête d'un bataillon dans l'est du pays. Il est blessé et perd un oeil dans une bataille, à la veille de la chute de Phnom Penh aux mains des Khmers rouges, le 17 avril 1975. Puis il regagne son commandement avant d'échapper de justesse aux purges internes du polpotisme et de se réfugier, en 1977, au Vietnam. Il y est intégré dans la petite équipe qui sera appelée à diriger nominalement le pays une fois Pol Pot renversé.
Premier ministre en 1985, Hun Sen devient, pour Hanoï, un homme difficile à manier. Il négocie les accords de Paris qui scellent en 1991 la fin de l'occupation vietnamienne pour une administration transitoire sous responsabilité des Nations unies et va partager sa fonction dans une administration bicéphale avec Norodom Ranariddh, fils et représentant personnel de Norodom Sihanouk. Au bout de six ans d'inévitables tensions, en 1997, Hun Sen se débarrasse de Ranariddh pour prendre seul la tête du pays, redevenu un royaume. Il a toujours nié y être parvenu à la faveur d'un coup d'Etat.
Depuis, il règne sans partage. Peu osent s'élever contre ses méthodes à l'occasion brutales, ou contre l'appropriation de biens publics par plusieurs de ses proches, dont son épouse, Bun Rany. Il s'est dit prêt à rester au pouvoir jusqu'à l'âge de 90 ans. Les scrutins, où népotisme, achat de voix et intimidation ont leur part, ne l'ont jamais désavoué. Son caractère colérique passe pour s'être accru avec les années, surtout face aux attaques personnelles.
