During their stay, representatives of the PDG, including Japan, Australia, the US, France and Germany, studied files and documents on the ECCC’s investigation and judging.
They left Cambodia with a clear sense that the ECCC has made significant progress in holding to account those most responsible for atrocities committed by the Khmer Rouge and the PDG will continue to support this essential mandate.
The PDG also highly valued the Cambodian Government’s cooperation in the job.
The budget for the ECCC in the 2014-2015 is estimated at 60.5 million USD, of which 12.4 million USD will come from the Cambodian Government and the remaining from the PDG.
