"[I]t is true that the prosecution has charged the five people with genocide," said Chea Leang, adding, however, that prosecutors will only ask judges to prepare genocide charges if sufficient evidence is found. "If the co-investing judges think there are genocide cases, charges must be imposed.”
It is an interesting statement. Wouldn't the approval of the Co-Investigating Judges (CIJs) be routinely necessary to levy any type of charges? If so, what exactly is the point of this statement?
