This article identifies obstacles that the Cambodian Extraordinary Chambers will face in their prosecutions, both in investigation and at trial. Looking to the practice and jurisprudence of the International Criminal Tribunals for the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda for assistance, it discusses the balance between the right of an accused to be tried without delay and the rights of victims and the international community to see justice done 30 years after the events in question.
