The European Union (EU) has pledged to continue supporting the remaining work of the Extraordinary Chamber in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC) for 2023-2025.
The pledge was made by H.E. Mrs. Carmen Moreno, outgoing EU Ambassador to Cambodia, during a farewell meeting with Senior Minister in Charge of Special Missions H.E. Keo Remy, Minister Delegate Attached to the Prime Minister Chairman of the Cambodian Human Rights Committee (CHRC) and Permanent Vice President of the Working Group of the Royal Government in charge of the ECCC, here in Phnom Penh on Aug. 31.
H.E. Mrs. Carmen Moreno underlined the significance of the educational works of the successful Khmer Rouge Tribunal process, which are beneficial for the new generations as well as for humans both in the region and around the world.
H.E. Mrs. Carmen Moreno recalled key contributions of the EU to the Khmer Rouge Trial process and considered Cambodia as the most potential country in the region for building peace and national unity.
Thanking the EU delegate, H.E. Keo Remy said the ECCC is working hard to locate and build an international standard room for archiving 400 million pages of documentation of the ECCC’s work and a Library and Mont Court for outreach work, research, and training.
