David Scheffer: ECCC's Personal Jurisdiction

The second is far more contentious and has led many observers of the ECCC to challenge its very legitimacy and future. But now both of the Co-Prosecutors and the Co-Investigating Judges have begun to battle among themselves publicly. The integrity of the ECCC hangs in the balance. The pathway is discoverable, but it will take some common sense and courage to find the markers and act responsibly. As I have listened to oral arguments and read and studied the publicly available documents and media reports on these two situations, I am struck by how a distorted view of the personal jurisdiction of the ECCC still appears to deeply influence the work of those whose responsibility lies with an accurate reading of the ECCC Law and the UN-RGC Agreement.

Yes Ki media should talk more about why do Prince Ranaridth and all Funcinpec Party leaders are betray many khmer lives and blood of their supporters and fllowers. Thousands of them were shooted in the head such as Ho Sok...Why do Prince Ranaridth and all Funcinpec Party leaders leaded them to death and try to quiet and forget about them.

They are make khmer nation weak and shame and they are the leaders but have no responsibility for their thousands of their followers muredered by Hun Sen CPP.

Why do they betray khmer blood such as 1997 coup and from 1979 to 1993 colision forces army? Why?

THey are not inspired khmer spirit but they are make khmer spirite become weaker and weaker as they act as evidences.

Justice will be injustice if Hun Sen is still in power and killing Khmer people everyday by the forced evictions. Forced evictions is Hun Sen weapon to kill Khmer people.

Let's we remember the guy that always talk in Funcinpec Radio about Vietnam take Cambodia lands. His name is..., He was shoot three bullets into his chest but not die at that time but during the coup 1997, he and his families were murdered by Hun Sen and CPP vietnam slave.

Would you please KI media honor him. He was a khmer patriot who always talk about Vietnam invade Cambodia during his life time before the coup 1997.

Forget about FUNCINPEC and Ranaridh- they are selfish, weak, foolish, and gone. If concerned about fate of Cambodia, SRP is the only nationalist party remains- without it there will be no more Cambodia. Cambodia belong to not any one person or group of persons but to all Khmer. Bash CPP-the yuon's slave- and vote for SRP

To find out, why this ECCC so afraid of the four aging detainees speaking out, let me quote part of ECCC law Article 24, Chapter VII:

Quote: CHAPTER VII: INVESTIGATIONS

Article 24 new :

the right to interpretation, as necessary, into and from a language they speak and understand. End quote .

Some years ago we all might still remember ECCC refused to translate some parts of the Khmer documents which was related to case 002 ( Mr. Khieu Samphan ) from Khmer to French language for his French lawyer.

So ECCC did not comply with the ECCC law to translate language from and into as ECCC law above says clearly so this ECCC has been so afraid of the aging four detainees speaking out .

So CPP has tried and done every things to obsruct this ECCC.

So case 002 has been going on behind closed doors for so many years without releasing to public ( Khmer victims and their families ) .

So case 002 upcoming for public hearing will even more complicated and controversal in other word the Khmer victims and their families will not heard much during case 002 public hearing .

The main jobs of ECCC as follow:

1. Keep detaining the four aging detainees. ( so far over 3 years beyond detaining time without full public hearing )

2. No full public hearing ( afraid of the four speaking out )

3. Convict the four.

4. Lives sentences for the four.

5. ECCC close down , proclaim success , justice is done.

So ECCC and UN who signed agreements or contract with CPP has failed to fulfill their historic roles in this faked ECCC.

So ECCC is 100 % a failure.

Why do all Funcinpec Party leaders forget 1997 coup with over thousands khmer murdered by Hun Sen?

Why do Prince Ranaridth and all Funcinpec party leaders are betray innocent khmers blood from 1979-1993 and 1997 coup...etc Why?

They are show extremely clear that they are the leaders have no responsible for their action. These are extremely bad role model for young khmers generation. They are weaker young khmers generation spirit in fighting Vietnam invasion.

They are betray thousands and thousands innocent khmer blood that they lead them to grave with injustice.

They are monsters from hell. They betray khmer blood and they liar!

They are just work to make themself rich by using innocent khmer blood. If there is a true God please punist them for eternity in hell.

How far can Cambodia Khmer Rouge tribunal go? As a Khmer I am sure that all Khmer victims and their family want the Khmer Rouge Tribunal go as far as the real justice is . The reality is that this Khmer Rouge Tribunals or ECCC cannot go to even cases 003 and 004. Why? The answers is very clear that even they trial and let the ohters 4 Khmer Rouge 1. Noun Chea 2. Ieng Sary , Ieng Thirith and Khieu Samphan speak out they will be invoved so many other ( former Khmer Rouge and Khmer Viet Minh who used to work with Pol Pot ) high ranking officials like CPP, Youn Hanoi, china , former Soviet Union and US . All Khmer wake up do not fall into CPP and Youn Hanoi dirty trick like this fake ECCC court and also about Preah Vihear Temple do not forget the East our Khmer border with Youn , youn have posting illegally 375 border posts along Khmer-Youn border compare Preah Vihear to the East we have lost land a lot to the East . Wake up all Khmer at home and abroad before it is too late like Champa, Khmer Kampuchea-Krom and Lao all of these countries are the victims of Indochina Federation.
