Cambodia's UN-backed Khmer Rouge tribunal has launched a new "ethics monitor" to grapple with ongoing claims of corruption within the court.
The new watchdog comes after the UN Development Programme raised fresh allegations of kickbacks on the Cambodian side of the court in late June, forcing international donors to withhold funding for July.
The anti-corruption committee headed by one of the court's top judges, Kong Srim, and tribunal spokeswoman Helen Jarvis, will field complaints from tribunal staffers and look into any graft claims within the joint Cambodian-UN court.
