| Title | The Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia |
| Summary | This paper will show in a descriptive way the work, procedure, and main features of a relatively new international criminal court: the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia . The thesis asks the questions whether there really was a need for the formation of the ECCC; whether the ECCC can work as it is supposed to do; whether the ECCC can achieve its main goal of giving justice. While getting more knowledge on the historical reasons of the establishment of the ECCC, it will be shown that because of its uniqueness and its “mixed-up” character the ECCC has more possibility to achieve its aim in giving justice to the Cambodian people comparing to the other courts. In order to prove that the ECCC can be effective and even more effective than the other international criminal courts. The thesis will present the main organizational and procedural differences between the ECCC and the other international criminal courts. A comparative analysis will be given of these ad hoc or/and permanent international criminal tribunals on the basis of their statutes in order to point out the vital differences and to emphasize that the ECCC has the possibility to work in a better way. |
