ECCC

"Under an agreement signed by the UN and Cambodia, the ECCC [the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia] was set up as an independent court using a mixture of Cambodian staff and judges and foreign personnel. It is designated to try those deemed most responsible for crimes and serious violations of Cambodian and international law between 17 April 1975 and 6 January 1979."
