Lawyers for two Khmer Rouge leaders accused of genocide in Cambodia have demanded that former New Zealand Governor-General Dame Silvia Cartwright be stood down as a trial judge.

They accuse Dame Silvia - New Zealand's first woman High Court judge before she was appointed to Government House - of having secret meetings with prosecution staff over the past year, a Phnom Penh news site reported.

But Nil Nonn, president of the special international court, has rejected the lawyers' request, saying the issue will be addressed "in due course''.

    Yes indeed,I am support you 4:51PM.
    Ho Chi minh and Mao Tsé Tong helped
    Sihanouk to keep power and monarchy
    in Cambodia.
    Vietnam invaded Cambodia twice:
    in 1970,Sihanouk called Vietcong to
    invade Cambodia.
    In 1979,Vietnam govt helped Khmer
    Vietminh to invade Khmer as second
    times.
