The Khmer Rouge Court Establishment Act does not guarantee victims' participation in the court in contrast to the International Criminal Court.

Human Rights Now published a report regarding victims' rights to effective remedy, Justice for Victims -Fundamental Issues for the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia, based on the UN Basic Principles and Guidelines to realize victims' participation in the court.

This report concludes that both Cambodian law and international law require the participation and it is also possible to realize it in a practitioner's perspective.

Human Rights Now believes that the Khmer Rouge court should be the foundations for achieving justice and it will lead to promotion of national reconciliation and real peace building in Cambodia.
