During the last few weeks, several media reports have suggested that the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC) has spent more than USD 200 million to date. This information is incorrect, and the source for this information is not the ECCC. From the inception of the court in 2006 until the end of 2010, the total cost for the ECCC operations were USD 109.1 million, and by the end of 2011, the total expenditure is estimated to be USD 149.8 million.

"The ECCC is likely to be one of the most expensive experiments of transitional justice ever, with the cost per indictee particularly high."
"If cases 003 and 004 are investigated and prosecuted, resulting in a total of ten accused over the court's lifetime, the cost per indictee is $33.8 million. If, currently seems far more likely, case 002 will be the ECCC's second and last trial, that figure doubles to $67.6 million per accused. To put this into perspective, the estimated cost per defendant at the Special Court for Sierre Leone is between $23 and $25 million, and $21 million at the ICTR and $17.5 million at the ICTY. The ICC aside, the ECCC is the most expensive of all the international and internalized courts."
- Alex Bates, ATLAS consultant and former UN Senior Assistant Prosecutor at ECCC

"A hybrid court, the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia, has spent over $200 million since it was set up in 2003 with both international and local judges and prosecutors. It has tried only one person: Kang Kech Eav, or Duch..."
- James Goldston, executive director of Open Society Justice Initiative

There is a real fear that only Duch and 1 or 2 of the current four senior KR leaders in Case 002 will be fully tried. That will make the cost per defendant even more OBSCENE, with the QUALITY OF JUSTICE DISGUSTINGLY CHEAP AND SOILED.
This is how the ECCC wants you to remember your loved ones, SOILED WITH THEIR INSOLENCE AND ARROGANCE.
Fight for your honor and dignity. Fight for your parents' honor and dignity, so they may rest in peace.
It's not a number we want, it's INTEGRITY and QUALITY in the ADMINISTRATION of JUSTICE. Fight for Case 003 and 004.

"the figures for the revised budget are exclusive of contingency"
so what would be the numbers if u added all up?
Still trust the surety of man?
Truly, the heart is deceitful above all thing who can know it?
Wasting money and times for nothing.
Even though justices are found but nothing will improve the Khmer people that are suffering and starvation by Hun Sen regime.
This is the mindset of the UN to prove that they are the savior of the world. But inside of them are ravening wolfs. I'm not against people helping people but the unwise helpers are not aware of the crookedness of the UN because what they suppose the UN stood for is peace & justice for the world. Wrong, the UN helps manufacture crisis to exert authority over a sovereign nation so they can bring their own solution to the problem. Their end goal is One World Government!
Mr. Pol Pot was put on trial before he died. How much was it cost then? and he was the top KR leader.
corruption is a profound system. cpp has this skill. they prolong the process by for example saying ten words when they are supposed to say one word for the same meaning. the more time or words are implemented the more money they extract from the pool. the KR trial should not cost this much- $100 mil. plus. it is a corruption- it is ridiculus.
$1 million can try ten KR leaders. anyway , the more you blame the KR, the more the viet received benefit unless the KR killing could be linked to Viet who orchestrated the KR the first place. Sihanouk, and ordinary Khmer people are the tools for the KR manufacturing by Viet. Dr. illiterate Hun Sen and Dr. illiterate Bun Rany are the Viet's slaves who are nothing more than the idiotic,errogant bragger.
You are right, 12:39 AM!
Viets must be laughing now that all the former Khmer rouge leaders are in custody and facing the jail term since all these former Khmer rouge leaders were fiercely anti-Viet.
Khiev Sam Phorn is the most Khmer patriot but his name is tainted because of Yourn' s tricks.
To 12:39 AM, I agree 100% agree with U.
To 1.18 AM , I agree with you 100 % regarding to Khieu Samphan , Hou Yuon , Hu Nim are real Khmer patirot among other Khmer who anti Indochina Federation to put Lao and under yuon yoke.
Correction from 6:38 AM .

Cambodia is made for the Elite, the Wealthy Khmers; not for the young, old, and feeble.
The is the REASON of which Hun Sen had his Frontal Lobe (lobotomy) removed.
The CPP has no conscience.
The Society cannot move FORWARD as long as CITIZENS unable to contribute for the greater cause!
