From 26 April to 14 May 2010 the first module of InWEnt's Khmer Rouge Tribunal Fellowship Programme took place in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. The three weeks training course focused on transitional justice, i.e. comprising legal aspects - in particular international criminal law - of dealing with the Khmer Rouge period, as well as methods of reconciliation and different processes of coming to terms with the past.

Participants were students of the Royal Academy for Judicial Professions (RAJP) and other jurists or research experts, as well as media, mental health or human rights experts from NGOs working in the area of outreach, reconciliation and coping with trauma.

 

The training course will be followed by a study tour to Germany and The Hague and 4-months internships at the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC) to assist the existing staff as competent contributors.
