On June 12, 2007, national and international judges at the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC) finally approved the internal rules of the tribunal, ending the latest impasse in the torturous quest to find justice for the victims of the Khmer Rouge. The Japanese government, largest single donor to the tribunal, said in a statement that the trials will “provide a good model for strengthening Cambodia’s judicial system”.
In May 2005, the Cambodian government claimed that it could afford to pay only $1.5 million USD of its agreed $13.3 million USD contribution to the tribunal, and asked the international community to supply the rest. The remaining $11.8 million USD was eventually provided by the Japanese government through its bilateral aid funding.
The following year, the hard-up Cambodian government spent $5 MILLION USD to buy a townhouse in Manhattan, NY, USA for its ambassador to the UN.
