Professor Takes on Khmer Rouge Trauma in US
When the UN-backed Khmer Rouge tribunal stood up in 2006, it offered a chance for many Cambodians to seek some form of truth and justice that many hoped could help heal some of the trauma wrought by the regime. In the US, much of that help has come from Nou Leakhena, a Cambodian-American sociologist and professor who spends much of her free time helping other Cambodians in the US take advantage of what healing the tribunal might offer. At a recent gathering in Long Beach called “From Victims to Witnesses,” Nou Leakhena sought to explain to victims how they might file grievances with the tribunal, which is preparing a trial for four jailed leaders of the Khmer Rouge.

Tribunal’s Investigating Judges Fire Back at Criticism
The investigating judges for the Khmer Rouge tribunal on Thursday issued a strong denial the UN-backed court was heading for a “crash,” as they faced increasing criticism for their work on controversial Case 003. The biweekly International Justice Tribune said in a May 23 article the investigating judges were in a “spat” with the international prosecutor and quoted sources warning of a “crash” or “collapse” of the multimillion-dollar court, which has so far only prosecuted one Khmer Rouge leader. In a statement Thursday, the judges, Siefried Blunk and You Bunleang, called that analysis “baseless” and “nonsensical,” saying the court was moving forward toward more prosecutions. Continue reading

A consortium of rights and development organizations on Thursday urged the Khmer Rouge tribunal to release more information on two controversial cases opposed by the government, amid increased concerns the court will not complete its work. Twenty-four groups, including Adhoc, Licadho and the Cambodian Defenders Project, said in a statement they want a “full” release of information related to cases 003 and 004 in “the interest of the victims.” The court has come under increased pressure in recent weeks to move forward on the two cases, which contain five more suspects for Khmer Rouge atrocity trials. The facts of the cases have been kept confidential, along with the names of suspects, making it difficult for civil parties to file specific grievances against them Continue reading
