Extra Funding for Extraordinary Chambers

Annie Schleicher for NewsHour Extra suggests that
an appeal for help to international donors may help bridge the shortfall in funds required for the U.N.-backed tribunal.

"You can send a message that the international community will do its part to ensure that, however late, and however imperfect, impunity will not remain unchallenged, and a measure of justice will be done. That will be a precious and important gift to Cambodia," [said U.N. Secretary-general Kofi Annan].

On the topic of U.S. participation, Annie Shcleicher makes this observation:

Today, due to an unrelated dispute over international tribunals, the United States is not expected to take part in the Cambodian effort, but Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice could still authorize U.S. participation in the attempt to bring the Khmer Rouge leaders to justice.
