About

The International Justice Clinic (IJ Clinic) was initiated by Michael Liu, a Civil Party lawyer with the Extraordinary Chambers of the Courts of Cambodia (‘ECCC”). The IJ clinic was established for assisting in Civil Party Representation at the ECCC. The IJ Clinic will serve to expose law students from participating Universities all over the world, particularly those in Asia Pacific to the history of the Khmer Rouge and the criminal trial procedures of the ECCC.

The Objectives of the Clinic:

1. To Identify and assist victims of the Khmer Rouge at the ECCC. These victims include existing victims who have applied to become civil parties in Case No. 002/002 as well as potential civil parties for Case No. 003 and No. 004.
2. To expose participating law students to the criminal trial procedures of an ‘international court’ thereby allowing comparative analyses between such courts and those of their home jurisdiction.
3. To develop a community of legal practitioners indigenous to the Asia Pacific region who are interested in international criminal law and/or the wider umbrella of public international law.

国际司法诊所式教育（IJ诊所）是由柬埔寨法院特别法庭（ECCC)  的受害人代理律师－刘毅强发起。IJ诊所是为了在ECCC协助代表受害人而建立的。IJ诊所将有助于世界各地, 特别是亚太地区参加的法律系大学生了解红色高棉历史和ECCC的刑事审判程序。

该诊所的目标：

1. 在ECCC，确认和协助红色高棉受害者。这些受害者包括已在编号002/002案件申请成为民事当事人的受害者以及潜在的编号003和004案件的民事当事人。
2. 帮助参加的法律系大学生了解“国际法庭”的刑事审判程序，从而能够对该法院和他们母国的司法机构做比较分析。
3. 协助建立发展属于亚太地区的，对国际刑法和/或更广泛的国际公法感兴趣的当地法律界人士团体。
