STATEMENT OF THE CO-PROSECUTORS
On 1 December 2008, in accordance with Internal Rule 71(2) of this Court, the International Co-Prosecutor filed a Statement of Disagreement between the Co-Prosecutors and forwarded it to the Office of Administration for adjudication by the Pre-Trial Chamber. This disagreement rests upon the appropriateness of opening new judicial investigations into crimes committed in various locations throughout Cambodia by certain persons considered to be senior leaders of the Khmer Rouge or persons most responsible for crimes under that regime. The Office of the Administration has since seized the Pre-Trial Chamber of this disagreement for adjudication. It has also forwarded the case files to the Pre-Trial Chamber.
Preliminary investigation of the Co-Prosecutors and adjudication by the Pre-Trial Chamber of disputes between them are, by law, confidential. This is to uphold presumption of innocence, protection of victims and witnesses and, above all, the integrity of the investigative process.
The Co-Prosecutors shall strive to achieve a consensus throughout the process of a judicial determination of this disagreement. Regardless of this disagreement, the Co-Prosecutors have been and shall continue to work together, in all their cases, to ensure that justice is rendered to the victims of the Khmer Rouge.

I do not believe that the U.S. is prepared to have the country destabalized by nabbing these prominent figures for a theatrical show in an effort to steal money from the international community for the so-called "KR tribunal trial."

There is nothing to do with Sam Rainsy, It seems abit rediculous to trial him in KR court.
However, from the current situation there will also no any possibility to trial those high ranking goverment leaders even though some of them were former KR cadres. The ECCC was set up under heavy negotiation between UN officials and Sok An which the process evolved for about ten years.
It will also seem impossible to summon former King to stand trial as well as those foreigh leaders who involved in the KR history and deveopment, because it is part of the agreement of the establishment of ECCC.
And also there is no political wills from those foreigh donors. The reason was very obvious, many of them still want the incumbent goverment rather than any redical change.

Sixty-first session
Item 126 of the provisional agenda*
Administration of justice at the United Nations
Report of the Redesign Panel on the United Nations
system of administration of justice
Summary
The Redesign Panel on the United Nations system of administration of justice
was established by the Secretary-General in January 2006 pursuant to resolution
59/283, in which the General Assembly requested him to establish a panel of
external, independent experts to review and possibly redesign the system of
administration of justice at the United Nations. The present report, containing the
findings and recommendations of the Redesign Panel, is submitted in fulfilment of
the terms of reference stipulated for it by the Assembly.
The Redesign Panel found that the United Nations internal justice system is
outmoded, dysfunctional and ineffective and that it lacks independence. The
financial, reputational and other costs to the Organization of the present system are
enormous, and a new, redesigned system of internal justice will be far more effective
than an attempt to improve the current system.
Effective reform of the United Nations cannot happen without an efficient,
independent and well-resourced internal justice system that will safeguard the rights
of staff members and ensure the effective accountability of managers and staff
members.
The Redesign Panel recommends a decentralized, streamlined and ultimately
cost-efficient system of internal justice for the United Nations. This new system will
be professional and independent and, if well-resourced, will both reduce conflicts
within the Organization through more effective informal dispute resolution and
ensure the expeditious disposal of cases in the formal justice system. The objective
of decentralization is to ensure that staff members serving in field operations, who
constitute the majority of staff, are effectively covered by the internal justice system.
* A/61/150.
A/61/205
2 06-44911
The Office of the Ombudsman should be strengthened and decentralized with a
merger of the existing Offices of Ombudsmen in the Secretariat and funds and
programmes. The Office should have professional mediators and should take on a
stronger monitoring role regarding institutional management. The Joint Appeals
Boards and the Joint Disciplinary Committees should be replaced with a new,
decentralized United Nations Dispute Tribunal presided over by independent,
professional judges with power to issue binding decisions. The United Nations
Administrative Tribunal should become a mainly appellate court for the internal
justice system. Legal representation for staff members should be professionalized
and decentralized.
The Redesign Panel recommends the establishment of the proposed new justice
system by a resolution of the General Assembly, further recommends the
establishment of an Office of the Administration of Justice in the United Nations to
manage this important aspect of the work of the Organization and to ensure the
independence of the proposed new internal justice system and, finally, proposes that
the new system, if approved by the General Assembly, become operational on 1.1.2008
