14 July 2014

The Government of Sweden announced that it will make a new contribution of US$4.5 to the Khmer Rouge Tribunal's international side for 2014-2015.

With the new contribution, Sweden’s financial assistance to the ECCC will exceed US$10 million. Sweden is a key financial backer of the ECCC and is a member of the Principal Donors Group, said the statement issued by the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC). "The new contribution of US$4.5 million comes at an important time for ECCC, and we would like to express our gratitude for the generous support offered by the Government of Sweden.”

The hybrid court needs US$60.5 million including US$48.1 million for international side for operation in 2014 and 2015.
