| Summary: | Extraordinary Justice is an inside account of the interaction among judges, investigators, and prosecutors who fashioned criminal charges against perpetrators of atrocities during the Khmer Rouge government in Cambodia between 1975 and 1979. It deals not with the trials themselves, but the apparatus the United Nations and the next government of Cambodia set up to investigate suspects and decide whom to charge. Etcheson headed for a time the investigation section in the prosecutorial office of what was called the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia for the Prosecution of Crimes Committed during the Period of Democratic Kampuchea. He was a UN-appointed official under a procedure whereby outsiders were paired with Cambodians. |
