CHAPTER IV
APPOINTMENT OF JUDGES
Article 13
Judges shall be assisted by Cambodian and international staff as needed in their offices.
In choosing staff to serve as assistants and law clerks, the Director of the Office of Administration shall interview if necessary and, with the approval of the Cambodian judges by majority vote, hire staff who shall be appointed by the Royal Government of Cambodia. The Deputy Director of the Office of Administration shall be responsible for the recruitment and administration of all international staff [hey, Knut Rosandhaug - there are NO, yes, NO U.N. staff in the Victims Support Section because you allocated ZERO $, yes, NADA. Yes, we know you are proud of this, but you will go down in history as the enemy of victims and survivors of the Khmer Rouge! ]. The number of assistants and law clerks shall be chosen in proportion to the Cambodian judges and foreign judges.
Cambodian staff shall be selected from Cambodian civil servants or other qualified nationals of Cambodia, if necessary.
Brain Food
One of the most persistent ambiguities that we face is that everybody talks about peace as a goal. However, it does not take sharpest-eyed sophistication to discern that while everybody talks about peace, peace has become practically nobodys' business among the power-wielders. Many men cry Peace! Peace! but they refuse to do the things that make for peace.
