Cambodian government can terminate ECCC: official
Cambodian Information Minister and government spokesman Khieu Kanharith has said that the government could "terminate" the Extraordinary Chambers in the Court of Cambodia (ECCC) if its international judges charge retired King Norodom Sihanouk for any Democratic Kampuchea (DK) era entanglements, the Cambodia Daily newspaper reported Monday.
The ECCC operates under Cambodian law, which guarantees Norodom Sihanouk immunity, Khieu Kanharith said Sunday, adding that any attempt to violate that immunity would be "illegal" and thus justify disbandment.
"The government is able to terminate the ECCC," he was quoted as saying.
The tribunal has made no public move to investigate Norodom Sihanouk or to call him as a witness, the newspaper said.
Questions about Norodom Sihanouk's possible role in the ECCC were brought up on Aug. 20 by a statement from the little-known NGO Cambodian Action Committee for Justice and Equality, which called for stripping the retired King's immunity so he could be charged by the ECCC, it said.
The Cambodian government and Prime Minister Hun Sen last week came to Norodom Sihanouk's defense, citing his constitutional immunity.
Sihanouk, 85, stepped down as king in 2004 and his son Norodom Sihamoni succeeded him.

No shame dumbo
Beware of old universal dharma, atomic is the root of all elements.
CACJE is merely an ant versus RGC's Constitution is the Dumbo,beastly elephant
Ant, may be small in size, but it can inflict pain for an elephant, may be the largest in size, to kneel.
Kanharithh were you a grown up yet when the very same comparable event took place on March 18,1970?
Let me remind you in case you were too sober to remember. This is relevant to Sihanouk categorically.
The National Salvation Government was borne in 1969 by Sihanouk under the very Constitution which he had no regard to endow General Lon Nol to bail out nation from being screwed by Sihanouk & Co Ltd malfeasance in arms-lethal aids dealing with Viet Cong San Nam guerillas.
Legislative branches booted out the treacherous Sihanouk from position with vote of no confidence-no bloodshed Coup d'Etat unlike PRK 's July 1997 because he refused and abandonned his duty to stay on vacation abroad indefinitely.
This event may repeat itself sooner than you can remember.Sihanouk is always an arsenic to Cambodia being.
That is bullshit! Why does HUN SEN wants to terminate the ECCC? Big lie and intererence from this Vietnamese spies.
If Hun Sen want to eliminate ECCC, just bring in UN troops to eliminate him instead. Cambodia deserves another civil war to bring down Youn Hanoi agents like CPP.
To 6.36pm,
You had taken words out of my mouth,
Wxactly I meant,dogs shit Sihanoukist CPP...
Thanks,for saying it better
The souls of about 1.7 millions of dead Cambodia people during 1975-1979 are more valuable than the life of ah Sihanouk
Hang ah Sihanouk at the KR Tribunal !!!
All true Khmer compatriots, ladies and gentlemen,
Cambodia's had cancers that were embedded into her by China+YUONS+Vietminh-CPP-Hun Sen+all royal's crooks through traitor Sihanouk's flesh and blood, also through his YUON's wife Monique and Sihanouk’s clique.
To have a true and lasting peace for Cambodia these cancers have to be removed once for all, either by the law of ECCC-KRT or by any means, as long as the majority of true Khmers are agree with.
If these cancers remain inside Cambodia without proper treatments YUONS will continue to swallow us bit by bit every day and China will gobble the whole region without mercy toward Cambodia land and all Khmer people, with the last assistance of NORODOM SIHANOUK-HUN SEN.

HUN XEN WILL KICK THE UN OUT OF CAMBODIA SO WE CAN HAVE A REAL INDEPENDENT LIKE SANKUMREASNIYUM!
