On June 28, the Open Society Justice Initiative (OSJI), a New York-based NGO, issued
a report on progress and challenges at the Extraordinary Courts in the Chambers of
Cambodia. The report said that there had been "significant" progress at
the hybrid tribunal over the course of the last year towards laying the groundwork
for prosecutions and trials. But it added that the numerous delays in adopting rules
of internal procedure and addressing allegations of corruption and political interference
have cost the court credibility in the eyes of many observers, both inside and outside
of Cambodia. The new report notes that a UNDP audit into some of these human resource
issues has been carried out, but states that only limited information about the results,
or the court's response to the results, has so far been released to the public.
