This week, there has been much debate as to whether to allow Norng Chan Phal, a rare survivor of Duch’s infamous S-21 camp, to be part of the prosecution, even though he missed the filing deadline by two days. While it may seem harsh, Phal should be excluded. The rules—trivial as they may seem— must be upheld above all else.
