12 December 2014- Following on from its lecture in November 2014, OHCHR-Cambodia and the Bar Association of the Kingdom of Cambodia (BAKC) co-organised a series of two interactive workshops (Legal Dialogues) with ECCC lawyers, practicing lawyers and trainee lawyers on "Managing the defence case" and "Triggering actions for civil parties and managing civil party cases" on 11-12 December 2014.
The workshops included a discussion on inculpatory and exculpatory evidence contained in a mock case-file, as well as how to initiate actions as a civil party in the criminal justice system. The presence of lawyer trainees provided an important mentoring and learning opportunity for the students. Discussions were enriched by this inter-generational engagement. Several lawyers expressed an interest in further utilizing the knowledge gained from these workshops in their domestic practices.
