The Cambodian Extraordinary Chambers - a dangerous precedent for international justice?

Williams, S.J.

Abstract

Discusses the problems encountered in negotiating the structure and composition of the Cambodian Extraordinary Chambers which led to the arrangement whereby the chambers have a majority of Cambodian judges but require a super-majority for a voting decision to be made. Considers the inherent difficulties within this system.
