Cambodia: UN-backed tribunal ends with conviction upheld for last living Khmer Rouge leader #IndiaNEWS #International
The final Khmer Rouge leader to be prosecuted under a UN-backed special tribunal in Cambodia, has had his 2018 conviction upheld for genocide and crimes against humanity, committed during the brutal rule of the Khmer Rouge during the late 1970s, during which nearly a quarter of the country’s population was killed.
The decision of the Extraordinary Chambers in the Court of Cambodia (ECCC) to uphold the conviction of the regime’s last surviving leader, Khieu Samphan, ends more than 13 years of hearings by the unique hybrid court, which was made up of both Cambodian and international judges and attorneys.
The court reportedly cost as total of 0 million, since being established in 1997.
Appeal denied
A former head of State, Mr. Samphan had appealed his conviction in what is expected to be the court’s final judgement. The court upheld his sentence of life imprisonment.
When he was first convicted, the judgement emphasized that he had “encouraged, incited and legitimised? policies of the regime that led to civilian deaths “on a massive scale?.
Three of the Khmer Rouge leaders were convicted, beginning with “Comrade Duch? who ran a notorious torture centre in the capital Phnom Penh, where all but 12 of its 20,000 inmates perished.
