Call for action in KRT’s 004

Khmer Rouge tribunal co-prosecutor Andrew Cayley has called for additional investigation in the court’s controversial fourth case, the latest salvo in his ongoing struggle with the tribunal’s investigating judges.

In a statement issued yesterday, Cayley said he had filed a “supplementary submission” in the case that expands on the alleged crimes initially listed by the prosecution, and a related request for investigative action.

“The Supplementary Submission adds additional crimes to Case 004, including crimes committed against the Khmer Krom population in Takeo and Pursat provinces, based primarily on civil party applications, complaints and other new evidence the International Co-Prosecutor became aware of subsequent to the original filing of the Case 004 Introductory Submission,” Cayley said.


International prosecutors made this introductory submission, lacking support from their Cambodian counterparts, in 2009.

Cayley added that he planned to request that the court’s co-investigating judges, Siegfried Blunk of Germany and You Bunleng of Cambodia, “notify the public and potential civil parties of the specific crime sites that are included in both the Introductory and Supplementary Submissions in Case 004”.

The tribunal has been embroiled in controversy of late over the investigating judges’ apparent failure to properly investigate the court’s third case.

The judges concluded their investigation in April without even questioning suspects, prompting allegations that they had sabotaged the case under pressure from the Cambodian government, which opposes prosecutions beyond the upcoming Case 002.

Staff from the judges’ office have begun resigning in protest over the abortive 003 investigation, which remains officially confidential but feat-ures KR military commanders Meas Mut and Sou Met.

Case 004 involves a trio of mid-level KR officials, and analysts say it appears headed for dismissal as well.

This ECCC or Khmer Rouge Trials has failed long ago because of the following:

1. This ECCC in not independent.

2. Political interference from Hun Sen.

3. Everything this ECCC has done for over 3 years since 2007 has been very secretive and not fully informed the public (the victims ).

4. Big scandal of corruption to obstruct the court process ( ECCC ) of Case 002.

5. Detaining suspects beyond detaining time (over 3 years ) to avoid fully public hearing of Case 002.

If Case 002 undergoes public hearing there will be many other countries involved one of them is Yuon Hanoi who formed Khmer People's Revolutionary Party and later on Known as CPP.

So the real killers of Khmer innocent people are still at large that to say CPP and yuon Hanoi the mastermind of killing field between 1975-1979 in Cambodia.

To back up my above comment all these answers are in Indochina Federation formed by late Ho Chi Minh after 1930. ( one of Khmer Issarak group led by Son Ngoc Minh later on known as Khmer Viet Minh fought against French colony during 1946-1954 till 1954 Geneva conference about Cambodia )

We are the victims of killing field between 1975-1979 must know the real Khmer history at least between 1930-2011 so we know when and how yuon Hanoi formed CPP.

So this ECCC is 100% a failure to find justice for 1.7 million of Khmer victims.

So Case 002 will face a lot of obstacles , not fully public hearing.
