During this period DC-Cam contributed significantly to justice, reconciliation, education and uncovering the truth behind the Khmer Rouge regime. We have reconfigured this report to be slightly different from the previous year. This report is organized under four main sections: documentation, support of the Khmer Rouge tribunal, and teaching about genocide, and the Sleuk Rith Institute. 1. Cataloguing and Database Management (CDM) With the core support from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), CDM made significant progress toward contributing to its mission which is memory, justice and healing. Among other things, DC-Cam received significantly more documents relevant to the Khmer Rouge (KR) regime. These inicluded documents pertaining to the KR’s relationship to other countries such as China and Viet Nam, personal diaries describing daily life under the terror of the KR, film footages, and photographs. These paper documents, film footages and photographs augment the existing documents that DC-Cam possesses, thus enable DC-Cam to provide more sources of information about the KR for survivors, the general public, academics, lawyers, activists, and the ongoing Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC). Another major progress in this section deals with entering information on the KR into a database, with a searchable list of documents on line. With generous support from USAID, DC-Cam has made all efforts to ensure that survivors of the DK era can search for information on lost loved ones effectively and widely from both inside and outside Cambodia. This contributes to “the right to know”. Further, online access supports the ongoing Khmer Rouge Tribunal (KRT) by allowing KRT personnel to search for and obtain documents from DC-Cam by looking into regularly updated lists of documents online. DC-Cam achieved significant progress toward its core mission during the year. The achievements include entering 1883 records, filling 4275 worksheets, editing 1943 English and Khmer worksheet records, scanning 56,782 pages and listing 2,149 records, collecting 519 new and rare documents equal to 3269 pages. DC-Cam received a donation of 144 film slides, 1 audio cassette, and 1220 digitalized images, about 70% of which are photos of Khmer refugees living in camps along the Cambodian-Thai border. This progress contributes to the achievement of many objectives, including memory, family tracing, justice at KRT, reconciliation and healing. Without USAID’s support these issues would not be addressed, and victims’ “right to know” would not become a reality. This “right to know” is one of the principle rights that victims who have experienced the hardship and terror of the Pol Pot Regime should reasonably expect and be accorded. 2. Supporting the Khmer Rouge Tribunal DC-Cam’s second objective of supporting the KRT, made possible through core funding to DC-Cam by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), is realized through the efforts of numerous programs, including the Legal Response Team, Victims Participation Project (VPA), Fair Trial Observation, Cambodia Law and Policy Journal (CLPJ), and Chronology about KRT. These efforts profide for and promote the strong use of DC-Cam Annual Report 2014 4 | Page evidence at the KRT, the engagement of DK survivors, the monitoring of the justice process at the ECCC (thereby promoting an effective investigation and defending a fair trial), the possible extension of case laws at KRT, and finally justice for KR victims and the general population of Cambodian people. Thus far, DC-Cam has provided about half a million pages of documents to the ECCC since

While five senior leaders are on trial for these crimes at the Extraordinary Chambers of the Courts of Cambodia, hundreds of lower level perpetrators live amongst their victims today. This thesis examines how rural Cambodians (including victims, perpetrators, and bystanders) are coexisting after the trauma of the Khmer Rouge years, and the decades of civil war before and after.

  • KRT TRIAL MONITOR Case 002 ! Issue No
    KRT TRIAL MONITOR Case 002 ! Issue No. 10 ! Hearing on Evidence Week 5 ! 23-26 January 2012 Case of Nuon Chea, Khieu Samphan and Ieng Sary Asian International Justice Initiative (AIJI), a project of East-West Center and UC Berkeley War Crimes Studies Center I cannot recall. It was a long time ago! I did not take note of this date and time passed by. It was so long ago and I’m afraid my memory is very poor now when I am aging. – Witness Prak Yut I. OVERVIEW In an effort to resolve the issues around admissibility of documents from hearings last week, the Trial Chamber called Mr. Vanthan Dara Peou, the Deputy Director of the Documentation Center of Cambodia (DC-Cam) to testify at the start of the week. The Bench, the Prosecution, and the Civil Party lawyers sought clarification on DC-Cam’s mandate and methods of collecting and archiving documents, while the Defense Teams asked questions aimed at showing DC-Cam’s alleged bias against the Accused, and the unreliability of the documents in its collection. At the end of the week, the Trial Chamber issued an oral ruling that documents cited in the Closing Order would be considered prima facie authentic, relevant and reliable, while other documents in the Case File would have to be assessed case-by-case as they are put before the Chamber. In the second half of the week, the Court continued with the reception of evidence for the first segment of the trial. The Prosecution and the Civil Party Lawyers questioned Case 002’s first female witness, Ms.

The meeting was chaired by Mr. In Choen, General, Secretary of the Cabinet Office, and was attended by the Deputy Chief of Cult and Religion, the Deputy Chief of Information, Mr. Koy Chhun, the Deputy Chief of Justice and Prisons and by the Police Commissioner. The meeting proceeded very successfully, considering that many of the senior officials of the Provincial Government were in Phnom Penh for the holidays. Six sites were selected for us to visit, and Mr. Koy Chhun was appointed to accompany us as he had been associated with the excavations at these sites during the early 1980's. Wat Chum Kriel Kampot District. 070701 After the meeting at the provincial Offices concluded, we visited the site of a memorial at Wat Chum Kriel, 5 kilometers along the Kep road. This wooden stupa contained skulls, bones and shackles that had been brought from burial sites in the Kampot District, but little other information was available. There were no witness to be interviewed. Wat Kampong Tralach Kampot District (Kep) 070702 That afternoon we drove out along the Kep road about 20 kilometers, branching off to the left towards Phnom Voar before we reached Kep. The large gray cement Wat at Kampong Tralach had been used as a prison, and we visited the memorial stupa in the grounds which contained the bones of 750 victims.

This dissertation argues that recent moves by the Cambodian government to transform this site into an "historical-tourist area" is overwhelmingly dominated by commercial priorities. However, the tourism project simultaneously effects an historical narrative that inherits but transforms the government's historiographic endeavors that immediately followed Democratic Kampuchea's 1979 ousting.
