The Government of Australia has confirmed that it will make a new single contribution of AU$3.25 million (approximately US$3 million) to the international component of the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC).
With this new pledge, the Government of Australia’s total contribution to the ECCC will exceed AU$26 million. Australia is the second largest donor to the ECCC, and it has supported the Court since its inception.
“As we await the verdict for Case 002/01 and continue the work on the remaining cases, this funding helps to ensure that justice can be delivered to the people of Cambodia in a timely fashion. Australia has been an invaluable partner in this endeavor since the establishment of the Tribunal, for which the ECCC would like to express its deep gratitude”, said Acting Director of the Office of Administration Tony Kranh and Deputy Director Knut Rosandhaug.
