The Duch Trial at the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia

Date:
March 2009

With the first trial at the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC) beginning this week, the Open Society Justice Initiative released a primer intended to help journalists better understand the court, its first trial, and the many challenges it faces.

The Duch Trial at the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia provides information on the structure and operation of the court, the trial of Duch (formally known as Kaing Guek Eav), and some of the pressing issues the court must confront. The 14-page report addresses questions including:

  • Why was the ECCC created;
  • Why is Duch’s trial so important;
  • Why is transparency so critical for this trial; and
  •  How does the ECCC work.

The Duch Trial at the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia also includes links to related resources, such as the ECCC’s official website.
