On 21 November 2011, the trial in Case 002 before the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC), targeting four senior Khmer Rouge leaders for crimes against humanity, genocide and war crimes, is opening. The International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH) and its member organisations in Cambodia, the Cambodian Human Rights and Development Association (ADHOC), and in the USA, the Center for Justice and Accountability (CJA), take this opportunity to highlight lessons learned from the previous trial and proceedings, especially as regards civil party participation and reparation, and to leave the floor to victims from Cambodia and from the diaspora to express their expectations for this important trial.
