UNCLAS THE HAGUE 002023 SIPDIS DEPT FOR S/WCI E.O. 12958: N/A TAGS: KAWC PREL CB NL SUBJECT: NETHERLANDS/CAMBODIA: MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE FOR KHMER ROUGE TRIBUNAL REF: SECSTATE 126728 The Dutch would welcome a management committee for the Khmer Rouge Tribunal (KRT) as outlined in reftel, according to Gert Jan van den Hoek (MFA, UN affairs officer) with whom Poloff discussed the points on July 19. The Dutch have already pledged 1.5 million euro to support the work of the court and are clearly interested in having those funds and the court itself well managed. Like the USG, they think the management committee for the Special Court for Sierra Leon (SCSL) has been successful and could serve as a model. Van den Hoek said the Dutch would appreciate an indication on the time frame for U.S. support of the KRT. SOBEL
