Kasper-Ansermet “does not have legal accreditation to undertake any procedural action or measure” regarding cases at the tribunal.
The international and Cambodian investigating judges found themselves in a new controversy at the beleaguered Khmer Rouge tribunal Monday, as the newly appointed UN judge issued a statement decrying his counterpart’s refusal to publicly release information pertaining to two controversial cases.
The UN reserve judge, Laurent Kasper-Ansermet was appointed to the investigating judge position by the UN to replace a German judge who resigned earlier this year amid heavy criticism that he and his counterpart You Bunleng were mishandling cases 003 and 004 at the court. He has not been officially appointed by the government.
Still, Kasper-Ansermet issued a press statement Monday saying he “regrets” judge You Bunleng’s refusal to “keep the public sufficiently informed about major developments” in those cases.
