The Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia is successfully completing its first trial, which has generally satisfied international standards of fairness and due process.

But that accomplishment could be undermined by the refusal of a Cambodian judge and government officials to participate in the investigation of the court's second case, according to this Open Society Justice Initiative report. The report calls on the UN and the court's donors to ensure the Cambodian government does not attempt to interfere with judicial or prosecutorial decisions.
