The Phnom Penh Post

Journalists, academics and observers of all kinds are pouring into Phnom Penh as Monday's announcement of the verdict in Case 001 approaches. For a look of what exactly, from a logistical standpoint, one can expect from the proceedings on Monday, check out this article in today's Post. A couple of more previews with a little more colour to them:

- David Scheffer, managing editor of Cambodia Tribunal Monitor and former US Ambassador-at-Large for War Crimes Issues, assesses the proceedings at the tribunal thus far and what they portend for Case 002. He also pushes back against the criticism that the results thus far have not been worth the expense ($78 million by the end of last year, with roughly $87 million more budgeted for 2010 and 2011):

One of the best online sources for those following the proceedings at the ECCC, cambodiatribunalmonitor.org, has announced new features that it plans to have in place in time for the July 26 verdict in Case 001. The site, which has recently added RSS and Twitter feeds, will have correspondents on hand to live-blog on the day of the verdict and to post video interviews. You can also log onto the site to find video archives of proceedings at the court thus far and read expert analysis. The site's managing editors are Youk Chhang, director of DC-Cam, and David Scheffer, a professor at the Northwestern University School of Law and the former US Ambassador at Large for war crimes issues.
