ABSTRACT
In this chapter, the author offers some final reflections on transitional justice and memory in Cambodia, at the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC) and beyond, while flagging implications for the wider fields, and some potential questions around which further research could contribute beyond the confines of his limited analysis. He shows the challenges of transitional justice implicated across its scales and scope. Transitional justice has a tendency to rely on a specific set of representational tropes that locate its subjects as passive in their relationships to memories of violence, the political legacies of atrocity and, in some variations, the means through which redress can be delivered. Documentation Centre of Cambodia's (DC-Cam's) genocide education programs oblige the memory of the Khmer Rouge in the name of reconciliation, especially elucidating the responsibility of the leadership of Democratic Kampuchea, converging at this point with the focus of the ECCC prosecutions.
