Is the Court About to Collapse??

Could be.

According to some well informed sources the Plenary session ended in chaos today when the senior international Judge, S. Cartwright, circulated a letter to all the Cambodian judges on behalf of all the international judges. The letter accused the Cambodians of refusing to respect international standards and of refusing to work with their international colleagues. Worse, the letter threatened to inform the UN that further progress was not possible and that the UN should withdraw its funds and staff from the process. Unknown if this 'letter' is going to be released to the press- but if true, it could signal the total collapse of the court.

What a tragedy for the people of Cambodia. Let's hope they can resolve things before its too late.
