KR Victims' Participation Hijacked by Cambodian and UN Politics

Seng is helping to organize fellow victims, but she says the government is excluding many civil parties from the tribunal and barring those who do participate from arguing their own cases. She says this has degraded the quality of the victims' participation.

"The quality of it has just spiraled downward to a quality where I have a hard time accepting whether I should continue to be in this process or not," she says.

An excerpt of Civil Party Theary Seng's application of February 2008

(almost four years ago!)

- Introducing the Civil Parties of Orphans Class (think common law "Class Action")

- Recommending how to mainstream mass Civil Parties' Voice 

- Arguing for the protection of rights of civil "party", esp to speak in person, which the Pre-Trial Chamber ultimately granted her.

All these advances were overturned with the idiotic current system of Lead Co-Lawyers "Scheme"
