UN to Review Cambodia's Tribunal Law

United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan says the world organization must carefully review a new Cambodian law that establishes a special court for the 1)prosecution 1 of former Khmer Rouge 2 leaders.
Cambodia's King Norodom Sihanouk gave final 2)approval to the law on Friday. It provides for the establishment of a special court for the prosecution of those responsible for the Khmer Rouge 3)reign 3 of terror in Cambodia between 1975 and 1979. Nearly two million people are believed to have died as a result of Khmer Rouge policies.
Cambodia wants to work with the United Nations in carrying out the 4)trials and the law does provide for some international judges and prosecutors 4 on the court. However, critics say the law does not give the international 5)representatives enough power and that relatively 5 inexperienced Cambodian judicial 6 authorities will have too much influence.
If the United Nations does participate, the organization's credibility would be at stake. Secretary-General Annan says his staff must now carefully review the 6)provisions of the Cambodian law. However, Mr. Annan's spokesman, Manoel de Almeida e Silva, indicated the Secretary-General hopes U.N. participation 7 can continue. "The United Nations is prepared to continue to work closely with the government [of Cambodia]," he said. "To assist it to undertake a trial that will finally bring Khmer Rouge leaders to justice and provide a measure of 7)accountability for the heinous 8 crimes they committed against their fellow Cambodians and their country."
Mr. Almeida e Silva said U.N. 8)participation will be 9)contingent on whether the Cambodian law 10)conforms to a previous understanding between Cambodia and the United Nations.
It is not clear how many former Khmer Rouge leaders would stand trial. Just two are currently in custody 9 and Pol Pot, the movement's supreme 10 leader, died in 1998.
