The release of a new policy paper on case selections at the International Criminal Court (ICC) could “open the door” for further consideration of a two-year-old complaint in which Cambodia’s ruling elite are accused of crimes against humanity for their part in widespread illegal land grabs. ICC Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda issued a new policy paper on case selection and prioritization Thursday, which she said would provide “clear and transparent guidelines” to her office when cases are brought to it.
