Notes

1 As of November 2020, three of the ECCC’s six cases have concluded. The first was Case 001, against Kaing Guek Eav (alias Duch), who was convicted by the Trial Chamber 2010 (conviction upheld on appeal in 2012). The next was Case 004/01, against Im Chaem, and Case 004/02, against Ao An, which were terminated in July 2018 and August 2020 respectively, because the Cambodian and international co-investigating judges disagreed as to whether the case should proceed to trial. Three cases are ongoing. This includes the ECCC’s major case, Case 002, which was tried in two parts. Part one (Case 002/01) resulted in a conviction in 2014 (largely upheld on appeal in 2016); Case 002/02 resulted in a conviction in 2018 (appeal judgment pending). The other remaining cases are Case 003, against Meas Muth, and Case 004, against Yim Tith, which are widely expected to be terminated for the same reason as Cases 004/01 and 004/02. Proceedings against other defendants were discontinued due to the person’s death or unfitness to stand trial.
