%X The Cambodian judicial system is fraught with deficiencies. The Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia ¨C established to try the leaders of the Khmer Rouge and those most responsible for the atrocities committed during the regime ¨C has been hailed as a model court from which to bolster domestic legal and judicial reform. While the ECCC has made some steps towards providing a positive legacy - enhancing the capacity of the judiciary, addressing fair trial rights and standards of justice - in the absence of political will to address corruption and political interference, this legacy is superficial at best.
