PRESS RELEASE
ECCC
ENTERS INTO AGREEMENT FOR CREATION
OF A «VIRTUAL TRIBUNAL »
Today the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC) signed an agreement with the Hoover Institution, Stanford University and the War Crimes Studies Center of the University of California, Berkeley for the establishment of a ECCC Virtual Tribunal Legacy Project.
The Virtual Tribunal will be a ground breaking way for the ECCC to digitally make available to the public all trial related materials such as decisions, filings, trial transcripts and videos of the court proceedings. The ECCC Virtual Tribunal will link together all these resources and combine them with expert commentary, educational introductions and explanations, interviews and other multimedia resources.
The ECCC Virtual Tribunal will be available to the public during and beyond the operation of the Court. To make it easily accessible for people in Cambodia, information Centers where the ECCC Virtual Tribunal can be accessed will be created at schools, universities, law faculties and other sites.
