The Case against the ECCC
Compromised Venue of ECCC
The Military/Army Headquarters the front half visible from National Route 4, with the ECCC the back half.
| ECCC is the back half of this Military/Army compound, formerly in Kampong Speu |
Background: During the 10 years of negotiation, we the Cambodian victims and international wanted the venue of the KRT to be in the city center, either at Chaktomuk Hall or Chenla Theatre or another similar location. The RGC adamantly refused and uncompromisingly pushed for this remote military/army compound in Kampong Speu province. (As this large military compound had no large hall for the chamber, the current large auditorium had to be constructed along with the ECCC offices in the adjacent building.) The UN gave in with the understanding that the KRT would be the whole compound. After signing of the Agreement in 2003, the RGC retained the front half of the compound as the army/military headquarters. Moreover, the RGC had to re-draw the map of Phnom Penh to include this military/army headquarter, formerly part of Kampong Speu province, to be part of Phnom Penh to satisfy the language of the 2003 Agreement.
