Pre-Trial Chamber Decision on Ieng Sary's request to make submissions on Joint Criminal Enterprise

The Pre-Trial Chamber found that neither the Internal Rules of the ECCC nor the Cambodian Criminal Procedure Code allow for a third party to intervene in proceedings, only a party to the Case File in question(the Co-Prosecutors, Charged Person/Accused and Civil Parties) can claim a right to be heard before the Pre-Tria Chamber makes a decision in an appeal. The Chamber also found that the decision to be delivered in the present case would not be directly applicably to Ieng Sary, who would stil be able to challenge the application of joint criminal enterprise in the Case 002 to which he is a party.
