United Nations Assistant secretary-general for Legal Affairs Peter Taksoe-Jensen, who arrived in Cambodia on Sunday February 22nd, mentioned a “breakthrough” following a meeting with Cambodian deputy prime Minister Sok An to report any achievement made by the two working groups, set up both on the UN and governmental side to strengthen anti-corruption mechanisms within the Khmer Rouge court. For their part, the international Defence team for Nuon Chea, also known as “Brother Number Two”, are still demanding that light be shed on that issue, otherwise institutionalised corruption at the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC) might undermine the fundamental right to a fair trial for their client.
