Cambodia "keeping door open" for UN on Khmer Rouge trial
Cambodia says it's keeping the door open for UN participation in a Khmer Rouge trial, after the world body pulled out of talks on a special court to try leaders blamed for 1.7 million deaths in the 1970s.
The Chief of Cabinet Sok An, the head of the Cambodian negotiating team with the United Nations, has told the Reuters news agency, the government regrets the UN decision announced on Friday.
But he says the government is keeping its door open for further negotiations.
The chief UN legal counsel, Hans Corell, said on Friday the world body was ending talks with Cambodia on setting up the special court after concluding that the court envisaged by Phnom Penh would not guarantee independence, objectivity and impartiality.
Cambodia's Interior Minister Sar Kheng said yesterday the government would pursue its own plan for a trial.
