UN voices concern as second judge resigns from Cambodia genocide court [-UN's inaction may play a role in the judge resignation?]

The United Nations voiced concern today as a second judge resigned from the Cambodia genocide tribunal after stating that he is being prevented from “properly and freely” carrying out his duties.

Judge Laurent Kasper-Ansermet submitted his resignation, effective from 4 May, from the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC), which was set up as an independent court using a mixture of Cambodian staff and judges and foreign personnel.

He has served as reserve international co-investigating judge since 30 November 2011, when his predecessor, Judge Siegfried Blunk, resigned, citing attempted interference by Government officials in the court’s proceedings.

The situation at the ECCC continues to be of serious concern and the United Nations is examining it closely,” UN spokesperson Eduardo del Buey told reporters in New York.


Judge Kasper-Ansermet’s duties included judicial investigations into cases 003 and 004, both of which involve former senior members of the Khmer Rouge military suspected of being responsible for the deaths of thousands of people.

According to a news release issued today, Judge Kasper-Ansermet’s authority to investigate cases 003 and 004 has been constantly contested by the national co-investigating judge, You Bunleng, whose “active opposition” to investigations into cases 003 and 004 has led to a “dysfunctional” situation within the ECCC.

“In view of the victims’ right to have investigations conducted in a proper manner and despite his determination to do so, Judge Laurent Kasper-Ansermet considers that the present circumstances no longer allow him to properly and freely perform his duties,” the news release stated.

He “strongly reiterates his hope that, in the interests of the Cambodian people and international justice, a solution enabling the ECCC to properly fulfil its important mandate will be found.”

The ECCC is designated to try those deemed most responsible for mass killings and other crimes committed under the Khmer Rouge three decades ago, when as many as two million people are thought to have died.

You Bunleng is a Yuon bastard. Why is he still here at ECCC to serve only the Vietnamese masters in Hanoi and Vietnamese dog Hun Sen.

You Bunleng is a fake Khmer/Cambodia judge secretly defends his Yuon/Vietnamese killers and Khmer Vietminh Killers of Killing Fields.

UN and International Communist take a very close look into the Yuon/Vietnamese leaders in Hanoi who are the ones (including their Vietnamese government puppet in Phnom Penh, Cambodia - Hun Sen) interfering Cambodian Affair, especially ECCC.

The Vietnamese leaders in Hanoi and Hun Sen will be investigated and pressured under the UN and International Communities because the Vietnamese leaders in Hanoi have been playing the secret games and tricks for more than 30 years after the Killing Fields. The Vietnamese dog Hun Sen has been under the control of Vietnamese leaders in Hanoi.

UN and International Communities need to warn the Vietnamese leaders in Hanoi for their interference with Cambodia Affair and warn the Vietnamese puppet Hun Sen who is under the influence of Vietnamese leaders to obey the International Communities and UN.

1:32 AM. Hey Idiot. I hate this traitor You Bunleng too, but enough with the he is YOUN shit.

Your mum is YOUN, did she teach you any other words beside YOUN?

You Bunleng needs to be removed from obstructing the justice system. This FUCKER is only interested in serving CPP agenda, which is to milk out more money from overseas country.

They cant even pay their own court staff, even the teachers salary were 3 months late.

UN needs to stop co-operating with a bunch of monkeys and sit them all in KRT, including Hor Nam Hong, chief officers of the prison camp killings.

Vietnam's bad intention toward Cambodia will be unmasked by the international communities.

We need to take this Cambodia’s land thief, Vietnam, to the international court of justice; otherwise Vietnam will keep creating turmoil in Cambodia.

After 1989, did Vietnam truly withdraw all of its troops back to Vietnam?

Did Vietnam comply with the 1991 Paris peace accord?

Millions of illegal and legal Vietnamese have been residing inside Cambodia after Vietnam’s invasion in January 1979, causing extreme concerns amongst Khmer people about the prospect that Cambodia would be the second Kampuchea Krom (the current southern part of Vietnam).

How much Khmer natural resource has Vietnam destroyed after its invasion in January 1979?

The killings during the Pol Pot's era were committed by the Khmer rouge, the Khmer Vietminh, etc. One tactical strategy that Vietnam has used effectively during the Khmer Rouge regime was to create “suspicion” between Khmers. So, the killings were exacerbated dramatically because of that suspicion generated by Vietnam.

Notice that the Khmer Vietminh were created and brainwashed by Vietnam to make Khmers fight with Khmers, to make Khmers kill each others. Vietnam’s ulterior ultimate goal is to make Khmer people vanish from this world like Vietnam did to Champa. No wonder, they have always seen Khmers fight with Khmers.

How about the K5 project, which killed hundreds of thousands of Khmer people in the 80's? This K5 scheme was totally orchestrated by Vietnam to make Khmer people disappear so that Vietnam could easily absorb Cambodia.

Vietnam must pay for this enormous K5 project crime. We need to take Vietnam to the international court about this K5 issue regarding Vietnam’s catastrophic action in Cambodia. Vietnam’s current dominance in Cambodia also contributes to the present majority Khmer people’s misery.

Vietnam has done horrible things to Khmer people, but we have never done anything to make Vietnam pay for it. That is why Vietnam kept doing bad things to Cambodian people and currently implementing its colonization on Cambodia.

Finally, the UN must have some clues why the puppet government in Phnom Penh has been so apprehensive about the cases 003, 004, etc…The Hun Sen’s government and Vietnam have played a major role in the killings during the Pol Pot’s era.
If they are clean, why they are so afraid of the cases 003, 004,..?
