BACKGROUND
LAC has been implementing the project entitled “Educating on the Khmer Rouge: Legal History and Practice e-Learning and Training Program”, funded by the European Union through UNOPS, with the overarching goal of building the next generation of public interest lawyers and legal professionals who can preserve the legal history of the Khmer Rouge and the legacy of the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC), and who can thereby strengthen the rule of law in the country. An understanding of the country’s pursuit of justice for the atrocities of the past can enable law students and young lawyers to better advocate for today’s most marginalized members of society and ensure that history does not repeat itself.
Through the project, LAC has developed an e-learning platform comprised of six courses that cover: (a) the ECCC’s legal history, framework, and application of international criminal law and international human rights law in Cambodia; and (b) foundational knowledge of select practical skills (e.g., investigation, collection and assessment of evidence, witness interview and examination, and preparations for trial). Each course is available in both Khmer and English, and is accessible to anyone for free. The link to the e-learning platform will be released on 29 March 2022.
The titles of the six courses are as follows:
