Strasbourg, 23/01/2001 (Agence Europe) - With the adoption during its emergency debate last Thursday of a resolution on the trial of Khmers Rouges in Cambodia, the EP invites the Constitutional Council to approve, as soon as possible, the draft law that foresees that a court, with its base in Phnom Penh and made up of Cambodian and foreign judges and prosecutors, will examine the crimes committed by Khmer Rouge leaders between April 1975 and January 1979. The EP trusts that the trials will begin as soon as possible, by the end of the year at the latest, and that they will not be restricted to the two officials currently in prison: Ta Mok, who had supplanted Pol Pot with in the Khmer Rouge movement in 1997, and Kang Kek Leu, former director of the Tuol Sleng torture centre.
