Negotiating History of ECCC's Personal Jurisdiction by Prof. David Scheffer

My hope is that the Co-Investigating Judges will undertake the investigative tasks reasonably set forth by Cayley and stop issuing foolish orders that only reveal their own insecurity over past performance. Either the Co-Investigating Judges or, if an appeal can be successfully lodged before them, the Pre-Trial Chamber eventually must demonstrate enough integrity to set the ECCC on its original course of a limited but reasonable number of suspects falling within one of two categories: those who constituted the senior leadership of the Khmer Rouge and those who were most responsible for the crimes and serious violations set forth in Article 1 of the ECCC Law. The resources must be available for that challenge as well. The world is watching, very closely, and history will be the final judge.
