Tribunal Officials Have Reduced Budget for Donors

PHNOM PENH - The financially troubled Khmer Rouge tribunal typically needs about $32.4 million for its international side and $9.7 million for its Cambodian side to run each year. But court officials say they are looking for ways to trim both figures before requesting more funding from international donors.

A funding meeting will be held in New York at the end of the year to settle on a figure, as the UN-backed court moves forward.

So far the court, established in 2006, has cost more than $200 million and has successfully tried just one former Khmer Rouge leader, Comrade Duch, supervisor of the Tuol Sleng prison and torture center, who plead guilty.


Three more aging leaders—Nuon Chea, Khieu Samphan and Ieng Sary—are currently on trial for atrocity crimes. Former social affair minister Ieng Thirith has been remanded to house arrest and found mentally unfit to stand trial. Two more cases that would indict five more suspects remain in doubt, fervently opposed by Prime Minister Hun Sen and other top government leaders, some with ties to the Khmer Rouge themselves.

The tribunal has struggled with funding for years, and court officials say about 300 local Cambodian staff soon may see a delay in their salary disbursement, up to two weeks. New Zealand recently announced it would provide another $200,000 to the court, bringing its own total to $1.2 million over six years.

Court officials say the latest budgets have been revised and passed on to donors like the US and Japan, but they declined to say by how much the budget has been reduced.

ខ្ញុំថា អាលោក Andrew Cayley ក៏ ហ៊ុនសែន
ទិញបានយ៉ាងស្រួលដែរ ប៉ុណ្ណឹងហើយនៅមិនដឹងថា
អាយួនយៀកកុងសម្លាប់ខ្មែរ ជិត២លាននាក់។

លោកនិងក្រុមលោកសព្វថ្ងៃ អត់ទាន់ដឹងខ្លួនថា អាយួនយៀកកុងកំពុង ឱ្យលោកឯងលាក់បាំង
ថាវាជាឃាតករសម្លាប់ខ្មែរជិត២លាននាក់ទេមើល
ទៅ លោកគួរតែលាឈប់ពីដំណែង ព្រះរាជអជ្ញា
បរទេសអីគេហ្នឹងទៅ បើលោកធ្វើអ្វីតាមតែអាយួន
យៀកកុងនិងបរិវារគ្រប់បែបបយ៉ាងនោះ....។

លោកចាំមើលចុះ អាយួនវាបោកយកជំនួយដល់
សាលាក្ដីហ្នឹងរួចហើយ វាទុកឱ្យមេខ្មែរក្រហមទាំង
នោះស្លាប់ម្ដងមួយៗ។នៅទីបំផុត អាឆ្កែស៊ីអង្ករ
(ហោ៥ហុង គាតឈុន។ល។និង។ល។)
ទាំងប៉ុន្មានរួចខ្លួនពីការកាត់ទោស។

នេះហើយគេហៅថា​លោក Andrew Cayley មាន
តែចំណេះតែមិនទាន់ប្រសប់ ឱ្យអាយួនយៀកកុង
បោកបានយ៉ាងស្រួល ប្រហែលជាស្រីយួនដ៏ស្រស់
ស្អាតជាថ្នូរទើបលោកភ្លេចភារកិច្ចលោកអស់។

លោកដឹងទេ ឥឡូវប្រទេសផ្ដល់ជំនួយដល់សាលា
ក្ដីគ្មានខ្នាតខ្មែរក្រហម គឺ គេកាន់តែយល់ដឹងយ៉ាង
ច្បាស់ថា ទាំងនោះជាល្បិចរបស់អាយួនយៀកកុង
និងបរិវារ ក្នុងគោលបំណងបំភ័ន្តដាន ដើម្បីលេប
កម្ពុជាប៉ុណ្ណោះ៕

វាមិនគិតថានរណាងាប់ឬស្លាប់ទេ ម៉ាៗយកតែ
ស៊ងទៅ កន្ទ្រំបហេ បហេ បហៃ ក្បាលតំពែក
ចាំងថ្ងៃ ចៃស្បថលែងនៅ ។

Marxist-Lenin was born of Christian civilization and
former Khmer students from France are indoctrinated before
become the murderers of his own people, now
these new young people are baptized to sabotage
and misinform the Khmer Rouge Tribunal, for example
cinema documentary Rithy Pan made a propaganda chief of Tuol Sleng prison Duch name instead of Kaing Guek Eav.
