PHNOM PENH — Japan will contribute $21.5 million toward a tribunal to try former Khmer Rouge leaders, the biggest donation so far, Japanese Ambassador to Cambodia Fumiaki Takahashi said Thursday.
After six years of negotiations, Cambodia and the United Nations signed in June 2003 an agreement to set up the tribunal. They have since finalized the budget for the three-year trial, with the United Nations picking up $43 million of the cost and Cambodia covering the remaining $13 million. (Kyodo News)
