has published on Twitter prior to his
nomination, the RGC refused to confirm
him. After attempting to exercise his
duties as reserve co-investigating judge
for six months, Mr. Kasper-Ansermet
tendered his resignation on March 19,
2012 citing his inability to gain the
cooperation of the Cambodian national
co-investigating judge, Mr. You
Bunleng. Mr. Kasper-Ansermet’s
resignation was effective May 4, 2012.
To replace Kasper-Ansermet, the UN
nominated U.S. citizen Mark Harmon, a
retired career U.S. Department of Justice
prosecutor, who also served more than
a decade as a Senior Trial Attorney in
the Office of the Prosecutor of the
International Criminal Tribunal for the
former Yugoslavia (ICTY). Unlike
Kasper-Ansermet, the Cambodian
Supreme Council of the Magistracy
(SCM) confirmed Harmon in the
position.
The ECCC’s jurisdiction over suspects
in the Cases 003/004 has yet to be
resolved; and therefore the coinvestigating judges have not made a
final determination on whether these
individuals should be indicted. Should
the national and international coinvestigating judges disagree, there is a
formal process under the governing
documents of the ECCC for resolving
this disagreement in the Pre-Trial
Chamber.
Before his departure, KasperAnsermet complained publicly that his
investigation of Cases 003/004 has been
obstructed by the non-cooperation of
Cambodian-appointed judges and
officials. Judge Bunleng publicly
responded that the difficulties had
arisen because Kasper-Ansermet had not
been confirmed in his appointment due
to the latter’s public comments on
confidential judicial matters. As Mark
Harmon’s nomination has been
confirmed by the SCM, we anticipate
that he will receive appropriate
cooperation from national and
international judges and officials. There
may be disagreements about whether
the suspects in Cases 003/004 should be
subject to indictment and trial, but we
expect these matters to be resolved by
the co-investigative judges and the PreTrial Chamber in accordance with
applicable law and procedure.
Certification and United States Policy
Objectives
Certification recognizes the efforts of
the UN and RGC to address allegations
of corruption and mismanagement
within the ECCC. It is not an indication,
however, that work is complete. Both
parties must continue to exercise
oversight of the ECCC’s operations, and
the donor community and NGOs must

continue their vigilant engagement with
the United Nations and the Royal
Cambodian government to ensure that
the ECCC remains judicially
independent, corruption-free, and wellmanaged.
