The United Nations has named a new special expert to advise on assistance to the Khmer Rouge trials in Cambodia.
David Scheffer, the former US ambassador-at-large for war crime issues, is ''very well qualified to provide expert advice'', the UN said in a statement released on Wednesday.
He replaces Clint Williamson, whose term expired on 30 September 2011.
The UN-backed genocide court is seeking justice for almost two million deaths under the Khmer Rouge in the 1970s.
Mr Scheffer was involved in the establishment of the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia, said the UN statement.
