During the United Nations General Assembly Samdech Prime Minister met H.E. Secretary-General Kofi Annan, and he submitted a memorandum of three points, offering three options:
Firstly: the United Nations can contribute to providing judges and experts to help modify the draft law to achieve what is known as credibility, in conformity with procedures trusted by the international community, and can also provide judges to work with Cambodian judges in the court;
Secondly: the Secretary General may choose only to provide legal experts to help establish the draft law, and let Cambodian judges work alone at the trial stage;
Thirdly: the United Nations may withdraw from the process, and let Cambodia establish the draft law and organize the trial by itself.
At that time, the Secretary-General did not respond directly to the memorandum, but asked for the continuation of negotiations.
