Details
The Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC) is the court established by the Cambodian leadership to prosecute the crimes of high-ranking Khmer Rouge officials and to promote the Transitional Justice process. The tribunal, which has been operating since 1997, has made an important contribution to coming to terms with the Khmer Rouge's reign of terror. In view of the tribunal's now almost 25-year history and uncertain future, it is worth taking the opportunity to take time for a lesson’s learned and to develop policy recommendations. It is worthwhile to look at the achievements of the ECCC and how the current process is going to be transferred into the future. The insights gained in this way can help to consolidate the rule of law in future transitional justice processes. On this basis, the ECCC can be discussed in the context of the Transitional Justice process in Cambodia.
The planned webinar aims to answer these questions by starting with a short input on the current status of ECCC and Transitional Justice in Cambodia, followed by the interactive panel discussion consisting of Cambodian and international experts.
All times in GMT+7 (KHM), GMT+1 (GER) in brackets.
