Despite multiple searches, requests to administrative officials and even the hiring of an investigator, Brother No 2 Nuon Chea’s defence team said yesterday they had found no evidence to support the bibliography of Khmer Rouge Trial Chamber president Nil Nonn published on the court website.

Emails by senior defence lawyer Michiel Pestman, leaked by pro-opposition website KI-Media yesterday, requested the Trial Chamber senior legal officer to provide specifics on Nil Nonn’s previous publications and his participation in politics.

“We were told that [Nil Nonn] was an active member of a [ruling Cambodian People’s Party] cell when he was at the Battambang court,” Pestman said by telephone.

“These are relevant facts that go to judicial independence, which would make a difference if this was a real court,” he added, pointing to precedent in other international tribunals for judges to be disqualified.


Nil Nonn has previously admitted to accepting bribes during his tenure at the Battambang Provincial Court in the early 2000s.

Pestman said it was also important to know whether Nil Nonn, who obtained his Bachelor of Law in Vietnam, was ever part of forces fighting the Khmer Rouge.

Tribunal legal affairs officer Lars Olsen said he would not clarify the academic qualifications of Nil Nonn because he was contacted after 4:30pm.

“If you called me during office hours, I would answer the question, but now I cannot,” Olsen said.

Haha that's the Hanoi jugde.
Could I tell you all some story from students in Khmer Russia! Cambodian students gave one Jeans hose, those can pass examed as bachelor or master very easy, that is the true story and I have heard in Vietnam is the same.

Opposite from East Gemany, students had no chance to bribe the professors at the universities. For instance, after 1981 Kampuchea Prorchea Minith sent every year 30 students for study master degree in DDR-Germany universities but after 1 or 2 years min. 10 or more of them were sent back to Kampuchea or dropped down degree as bachelor.

Nil Non is still a very active member of the CPP and still the President of the CPP cell of Battambang Court. he is a proud card holder of CPP. His daughter, the bride in the video worked a secretary to Ang Vong wattana, Minister of Justice untill she got married some years back.

Mon Keo Sivin, a Cambodian lawyer, trashed Nil Non in face whle he was appearing at the Battambanf court, where Non waas the judge, sayinmg that judge was a Vietnamese, got a Viet "degree", implying it was a shanky diploma.
