ItemAchievements and Legacies of the Khmer Rouge Trials: Reflections from Inside the Tribunal(Taylor & Francis (Routledge), 2018)This article is an edited transcript of a panel discussion that was held in Melbourne in December 2017. The panel comprised four speakers, each with significant professional experience working at Cambodia’s hybrid tribunal, the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC). This panel was the first time such key insiders have come together outside of Cambodia and in an academic context to reflect on more than 10 years of the Court’s operation and their personal experiences there. There is much to be gained by enquiring into the lived experiences of those working at internationalised tribunals. In this article, unique insights are shared in relation to ECCC prosecution and the Court’s legacy of historical and procedural record, the Court’s establishment and outreach, the legal representation of ECCC participating victims (civil parties), and supporting witnesses across different cultural and legal contexts.

ItemVictims’ rights, victim collectives and utopic disruption at the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia(Routledge - Taylor & Francis, 2016)This article examines victim participation at Cambodia’s hybrid tribunal, the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC). The tribunal — which attempts to bring former Khmer Rouge to justice for crimes committed between 1975 and 1979 — has invited significant participation by ‘victims’ and has provoked new public debate about the past, ongoing suffering and reparation. The participation of collectives of victims, and the collective nature of their participation, are here considered as interventions in the immanent utopic processes of the ECCC. These interventions produce new claims for reparation, claims that exceed extant human rights discourses in Cambodia and confront dominant economic and socio-political conditions.
