KR tribunal and international fees

The deadline expired yesterday. There has been no agreement. The issue of fees foreign lawyers will pay to become members of the Cambodian Bar Association is another issue that has been put on the back burner. They want $4 900 per lawyer for the first year. The International Judges fine this unacceptable. That is $4 900 to be a member of the Cambodian Bar Association for one year.

IJ: We could just exclude the Bar Association
BA: The Bar Association cannot be excluded unless you have the tribunal in your own countries.
IJ: Discussions are ongoing and a resolution is possible.
BA: The International Judges should not be putting pressure on the Bar Association.
IJ: This is holding up the entire tribunal. When can we have the plenary session?
BA: This is not a UN tribunal. You must respect the laws of Cambodia.
IJ: The agreement the UN signed with CamboGov says nothing about the BA or foreign lawyers so there's no legal problem there. Acceptability is the only question.

And on the saga goes. At the rate the tribunal is moving all the guilty will be long dead. The genocide took place twenty-eight years ago. It is time to get on with it. Give the people of Cambodia some resolution.
