"This paper first examines the role of the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) and Gacaca Courts in national reconciliation in Rwanda. Second, the paper applies the discussion in the Cambodia context and argues that like the ICTR, the proposed criminal tribunal for Cambodia is insufficient for reconciliation. If reconciliation is to sustain, a Cambodian Truth Commission has to set up to be utilised in conjunction with the tribunal. Restorative and transformative justice initiatives are effective at demolishing complicity and can play a valuable part in the reconciliation process. But this paper runs counter to the international legal community's embrace of the punitive criminal justice model as the preferred and often exclusive way to deal with perpetrators of genocidal violence and crime against humanity."
