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.

ItemInterlude: Supervising(Springer Nature Singapore, 2019-03-15)Recent years have seen the rise of practice-based/-led PhDs in geography. While diverse in format, these PhDs all recognise creative practices as forms of knowledge making. They are related to the discipline’s wider embrace of creative practices within the research process, from experiments with creative research methods as a means, to the generation of data for artistic research wherein practice is the research process. These creative geographies have co-emerged with non-representational theories, whose concerns with affect, practice and embodiment has furthered creative practices within geography. These PhDs are far from straightforward for students and supervisors, raising important questions around knowledge, judgement and linguistic imperialism. In this interlude, Hawkins and Hughes reflect on the challenges, practices, support mechanisms and possibilities for these PhDs.

ItemShowing now: The Bophana Audiovisual Resource Centre and the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia(AUSTRALIAN NATL UNIV, 2019)The Bophana Centre is an audiovisual archive, a training centre and a venue for free film screenings in the centre of Phnom Penh, capital of Cambodia. The centre was founded in 2006 by two Cambodian film-makers, Rithy Panh and Pannakar Ieu. In the same year, the United Nations–supported Khmer Rouge Tribunal – formally the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC) – was also established in Phnom Penh. Although vastly different initiatives, the organisation and tribunal share a concern to work towards some form of justice for victims of Khmer Rouge crimes and to foster dialogue about how to constitute a better present and future in light of this and other historical conflicts in the country. This chapter is based in fieldwork conducted in and around the ECCC between late 2011 and early 2017. It introduces the work of the Bophana Centre as a unique Cambodian organisation and critically explores its relationship to the ECCC in the wider context of what is generally termed Cambodian civil society. It argues that the practices fostered at Bophana are ontologically and epistemologically at variance with transitional justice theory and practice.

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.

ItemJUSTICE PROCESSES AND DISCOURSES OF POST-CONFLICT RECONCILIATION IN SOUTHEAST ASIA The experiences of Cambodia and Timor-Leste(ROUTLEDGE, 2018)The year 2015 saw the 40th anniversary of the 1975 Indonesian invasion of Timor-Leste. The anniversary was marked with calls for an end to impunity for those Indonesian military leaders responsible for orchestrating and carrying out criminal acts during the invasion, the subsequent 24-year occupation of the country and during the 1999 independence vote. 1 In the same year, Cambodia also observed a 40th anniversary, of the fall of Phnom Penh to the Khmer Rouge and the beginning of the mass political violence of 1975–1979. An internationalized criminal tribunal examining Khmer Rouge crimes has been underway in the country for nearly ten years. Also in 2015, a People’s Tribunal was convened in The Hague to examine the crimes committed within Indonesia from 1965 against members or suspected members of the communist party (KPI).
