51606 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 165 / Friday, August 24, 2012 / Notices 

has published on Twitter prior to his 

nomination, the RGC refused to confirm 

him. After attempting to exercise his 

duties as reserve co-investigating judge 

for six months, Mr. Kasper-Ansermet 

tendered his resignation on March 19, 

2012 citing his inability to gain the 

cooperation of the Cambodian national 

co-investigating judge, Mr. You 

Bunleng. Mr. Kasper-Ansermet’s 

resignation was effective May 4, 2012. 

To replace Kasper-Ansermet, the UN 

nominated U.S. citizen Mark Harmon, a 

retired career U.S. Department of Justice 

prosecutor, who also served more than 

a decade as a Senior Trial Attorney in 

the Office of the Prosecutor of the 

International Criminal Tribunal for the 

former Yugoslavia (ICTY). Unlike 

Kasper-Ansermet, the Cambodian 

Supreme Council of the Magistracy 

(SCM) confirmed Harmon in the 

position. 

The ECCC’s jurisdiction over suspects 

in the Cases 003/004 has yet to be 

resolved; and therefore the coinvestigating judges have not made a 

final determination on whether these 

individuals should be indicted. Should 

the national and international coinvestigating judges disagree, there is a 

formal process under the governing 

documents of the ECCC for resolving 

this disagreement in the Pre-Trial 

Chamber. 

Before his departure, KasperAnsermet complained publicly that his 

investigation of Cases 003/004 has been 

obstructed by the non-cooperation of 

Cambodian-appointed judges and 

officials. Judge Bunleng publicly 

responded that the difficulties had 

arisen because Kasper-Ansermet had not 

been confirmed in his appointment due 

to the latter’s public comments on 

confidential judicial matters. As Mark 

Harmon’s nomination has been 

confirmed by the SCM, we anticipate 

that he will receive appropriate 

cooperation from national and 

international judges and officials. There 

may be disagreements about whether 

the suspects in Cases 003/004 should be 

subject to indictment and trial, but we 

expect these matters to be resolved by 

the co-investigative judges and the PreTrial Chamber in accordance with 

applicable law and procedure. 

Certification and United States Policy 

Objectives 

Certification recognizes the efforts of 

the UN and RGC to address allegations 

of corruption and mismanagement 

within the ECCC. It is not an indication, 

however, that work is complete. Both 

parties must continue to exercise 

oversight of the ECCC’s operations, and 

the donor community and NGOs must 

continue their vigilant engagement with 

the United Nations and the Royal 

Cambodian government to ensure that 

the ECCC remains judicially 

independent, corruption-free, and wellmanaged.
