New articles on sexual crimes during the Khmer Rouge regime
The Cambodian Law and Policy Journal has published two new articles on sexual crimes during the Khmer Rouge regime (Volume 2 – July 2014):

‘A Missed Opportunity, A Last Hope? Prosecuting Sexual Crimes Under the Khmer Rouge Regime’, by Theresa de Langis
Court probes sexual violence under Khmer Rouge
German broadcaster, GW, has posted an article about the international co-prosecutor at the ECCC calling for the Office of Investigations to examine allegations of serious sexual violence committed during the Khmer Rouge’s 1975-79 rule. The potential widening of the scope of the prosecution of cases at the ECCC reflects research findings about sexual violence that took place during the regime. This move by the international prosecutor comes at a time when there is increasing international concern with addressing sexual violence in conflict.
