Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia is a court established to try the most senior responsible members of the Khmer Rouge for alleged violations of international law and serious crimes perpetrated during the Cambodian genocide
The PRK tried to overthrow the Pol Pot regime and later on made attempts to accuse the Pol Pot regime of the genocide crime
The People’s Revolutionary Tribunal first raised the genocide crime “of Pol Pot and Ieng Sary”. Later on, it was believed to have been biased because “the 1979 trial was not conducted impartially and independently with regard to due process requirements)”
to 2019, evidence and documents were collected in the purpose of serving for the court.
The letter that Cambodian Secretary-General sent to the United Nations (hereby known as UN) got rejection. However, this second attempt placed as a founding stone for The Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (hereby known as ECCC).
Despite the rejection, they kept on negotiating with the UN.
This is a special Cambodian court which receives international assistance through the United Nations Assistance to the Khmer Rouge Trials (UNAKRT)
Evidence and documents were collected in the purpose of serving for the court.
