Acompromise designed to address UN concerns about unilateral alterations by

the Cambodian government of the KR tribunal law was announced on Jan 24. US Ambassador

Kent Weidemann helped negotiated a deal in which the UN concerns were addressed in

an separate letter to be attached to the law. The plan was necessitated by the Cambodian

government's refusal to re-submit to the National Assembly a version of the law in

which UN concerns were addressed.
