Abstract:
This chapter examines an issue examined by the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia that has been less discussed, that of the crimes related to the international armed conflict between Cambodia and Vietnam. In Duch the Court reluctantly sets itself to the task, finding the appellant guilty of a range of grave breaches including wilful killing, torture and wilful deprivation of the rights of fair and regular trial. The judgment can be criticised for a number of reasons, notably for making comments that lack solid legal support and/or cogent arguments as well as for misinterpreting the law as it was at the time the crimes were perpetrated.
