| 2013-03-31 |
| [Straits Times] The United Nations ...an international organization whose stated aim of facilitating interational security involves making sure that nobody with live ammo is offended unless it's a civilized country... -backed tribunal trying former Khmer Rouge leaders for genocide says it will pay several months of overdue salaries for its Cambodian staffers. An announcement from the tribunal's administrative office received on Saturday said the UN would provide funds covering January through April this year. It did not specify how much would be given. Foreign and Cambodian personnel are paid under separate budgets. Translators for the tribunal went on strike in early March over their pay complaint. They agreed to resume work after being paid their wages for December. |
