Safeguarding Judicial Independence in Mixed Tribunals by Mark Ellis

"I was an early supporter of the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC). Consistent with my belief that we must fight impunity through accountability, I believed in the ECCC’s overall mission, including its ability to help bring justice to victims, and accuracy to the historical record. However, as the ECCC’s activities increased, my confidence in its judicial process started to decrease. I observed a growing number of problems that made me question the very legitimacy of the Court." - Mark Ellis

The world should stop wondering why this KRT always has problems.

( above is a comment of our brother or sister on this KI-Media blog ).

My comment:

Heng Samrin , Chea Sim , So Phim , Kea Meas are former Khmer Viet Minh before they become Khmer Rouge between 1975-1979. Khmer Viet Minh were brainwashed and created by the Noth Viet Nam in the 1950s during fighting again French colony till Geneva Paris Peace in 1954 the leader of this movement known as Achar Mean or also know as Son Ngoc Minh left Cambodia after Geneva Paris Peace Agreemnet in 1954 to Hanoi and lived there till 1972 and left Hanoi in 1972 to China for medical treatment ( hight blood pressure and stroke )and passed away there in Chinese hospital in China.

Between 1975-1979 those Khmer Viet Minh who working alongside by Pol Pot were:

1. Heng Samrin.

2. Chea Sim .

3. So Phim.

4. Keo Meas.

So Heng Samrin, Chea Sim and many more were former khmer Viet Minh before they became Khmer Rouge and became hight ranking officials of CPP ( the ruling party ).

Note: Like Heng Samrin himself he used to lived in Hanoi for so many years. Keo Meas was a boss of So Phim . So Phim was a boss of Heng Samrin and Chea Sim . Cheas Sim and Heng Samrin were former military commanders of Hun Sen in Eastern Zone between 1975-1979.

Judging Khmer rouge without judging yuons is just a joke because youns are mastermind of Khmer rouge and the killing field. Yuons are the real murderers. Letting yuons get of the crimes committed is another crime against humanity and A DENY of justice for the victims of yuon atrocity and hatred. Internal community must STOP TO COMMITMENT with yuons by deny yuons crimes and atrocities against Khmer and other weak and innocent people in SEA.
