Civil Parties

LESSONS FROM THE PAST - CIVIL PARTIES

Victims’ participation was one of the unique features of the trials held by the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC). In November 2011, the ECCC Trial Chamber began its second trial, hearing evidence against three former top ranking Khmer Rouge leaders. Nearly 4,000 victims participated as Civil Parties in Case 002, over ten times more than in the first trial. The photo series LESSONS FROM THE PAST documents their voices.
