Abstract: | This contribution addresses the structure and composition ofthe Cambodian Extraordinary Chambers (CEC), in particular thesuper-majority voting arrangements for national and internationaljudges. These rules, which reflect difficult negotiations betweenthe United Nations and the Cambodian Government, are likelyto impede trials by allowing not only determinations of guilt,but also key evidentiary decisions, to go unresolved. This maymake the effective operation of the CEC impossible. |
