As Duch’s trial, the first one to be held before the Khmer Rouge Court, is due to open on Monday March 30, Amnesty International (AI), in a communiqué urges the hybrid court to investigate and prosecute more cases “before it is too late”. The London-based organization also mentioned the real risk that many will die before victims finally see justice for the crimes they and their relatives were subjected to during the Khmer Rouge regime. The organisation reckons that March 30 will be “an historic day for Khmer Rouge victims”, which is the title it chosen for the press release.
AI also urges the United Nations and the Cambodian government to “investigate promptly and thoroughly” the allegations of corruption which surfaced at the tribunal. “A failure to do so risks undermining the credibility of the whole institution and what it is trying to accomplish”, says Brittis Edman, Amnesty International’s researcher in Cambodia.
