Rouge Tribunal Under Section 7071(c) 

of the Department of State, Foreign 

Operations and Related Programs

Pursuant to the authority vested in the 

Secretary of State, including under 

Section 7071(c) of the Department of 

State, Foreign Operations, and Related 

Programs Appropriations Act (SOFAA), 

2010, and Delegation of Authority 245– 

1, I hereby certify that the United 

Nations and Government of Cambodia 

are taking credible steps to address 

allegations of corruption and 

mismanagement within the Khmer 

Rouge Tribunal. 

This Certification and related 

Memorandum of Justification shall be 

provided to the appropriate committees 

of the Congress and published in the 

Federal Register. 

Dated: March 23, 2010.

Deputy Secretary of State. 

Memorandum of Justification Under 

Section 7071(c) of the Department of 

State, Foreign Operations and Related 

Programs Appropriations Act, 2010 

Section 7071(c) of the Department of 

State, Foreign Operations and Related 

Program Appropriations Act, 2010 (Div. 

F Pub. L. 111–117) provides that funds 

appropriated in the Act for a United 

States contribution may only be made 

available if the Secretary of State 

certifies to the Committees on 

Appropriations that the United Nations 

and Government of Cambodia are taking 

credible steps to address allegations of 

corruption and mismanagement within 

the Extraordinary Chambers in the 

Courts of Cambodia (ECCC), also 

commonly known as the ‘‘Khmer Rouge 

Tribunal’’ (KRT). Deputy Secretary Lew 

has signed the certification pursuant to 

State Department Delegation of 

Authority 245–1. 

Factors Justifying Determination and 

Certification 

In late 2008 the former Director in the 

ECCC Office of Administration, the 

person in charge when allegations of 

administrative corruption at the court 

first surfaced, was put on indefinite 

medical leave, effectively removing him 

from the court. His replacement, the 

current Acting Director, is considered to 

have shown himself a competent 

Administrator who has cooperated well 

with the donor community, other court 

officials, and the United Nations Office 

of Legal Affairs. The Deputy 

Administrator, selected by the UN and 

a person with many years of 

administrative experience, has a 

constructive working relationship with 

the Acting Director and plays an active 

and positive role with the UN and the 

donor community. Since before the 

departure of the ECCC Director of 

Administration, there have been no 

reports alleging new instances of 

corruption at the Khmer Rouge 

Tribunal. In the view of the State 

Department, other countries in the 

donor community, prominent court 

officials, and non-governmental 

organizations (NGOs), the court appears 

corruption-free at this time. 

These administrative corruption 

allegations did not compromise the 

fundamental integrity of the court. In 

November of 2009 the court successfully 

concluded Case 001—the trial against 

the former chief of the Tuol Sleng 

torture center, Kaing Guek Eav (‘‘Duch’’). 

His trial was the first meaningful 

attempt to hold a Khmer Rouge official 

accountable for war crimes committed 

under the Khmer Rouge regime. The 

United States, foreign governments, and 

NGOs monitoring the court agree that 

proceedings met international standards 

of justice. 

Most recently, the investigative phase 

of Case 002, against four surviving 

senior leaders of the Khmer Rouge 

regime, was closed. Motions and 

appeals are now being heard in 

accordance with the rules of the court, 

and an indictment is expected in the fall 

of 2010. 

In August 2009 the United Nations 

Office of Legal Affairs and the 

Government of Cambodia reached 

agreement to establish an Independent 

Counsellor to serve as a deterrent 

against corruption and address potential 

future incidents of corruption or other 

forms of misconduct at the court. By 

mutual agreement Uth Chhorn, the 

Cambodian Auditor General, was 

selected to serve this role. To date the 

Independent Counsellor has established 

his own office, with a direct phone line 

and e-mail for receiving complaints 

confidentially. Last November he 

released a ‘‘Meet the Independent 

Counsellor’’ document to all court staff 

explaining his role, how he can be
