This evidence-led archive covers eight distinct Cambodian histories: two final ECCC judgments, the attack on Tat Marina, the unsolved murder of Piseth Pilika, three political or environmental-defender killings, and the 1997 opposition-rally grenade attack.
Only cases with a verified conviction or equivalent judicial resolution appear here. A final judgment does not imply that every participant in a wider criminal system was prosecuted.
