While international criminal courts have often been declared as
bringing 'justice' to victims, their procedures and outcomes
historically showed little reflection of the needs and interests of
victims themselves. This situation has changed significantly over
the last sixty years; victims are increasingly acknowledged as
having various 'rights', while their need for justice has been
deployed as a means of justifying the establishment of
international criminal courts. However, it is arguable that the
goals of political and legal elites continue to be given
precedence, and the ability of courts to deliver 'justice to
victims' remains contested. This book contributes to this important
debate through an examination of the role of victims as civil
parties within the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of
Cambodia. Drawing on a series of interviews with civil parties,
court practitioners and civil society actors, the book explores the
way in which both the ECCC and the role of victims within it are
shaped by specific political, economic and legal contexts;
examining the 'gap' between the legitimising value of the 'imagined
victim', and the extent to which victims are able to further their
interests within the courtroom.
