On August 15, 2013, the Cambodia Tribunal Monitor (CTM) Project of the Documentation Center of Cambodia (DC-Cam) conducted a workshop at Kampot Institute of Polytechnic, Kampot province. The workshop focused on the history of Democratic Kampuchea, the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia, and the resources provided by the CTM website. The workshop is conducted from 7:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. with the participation of 100 students. To date, the CTM team has successfully conducted the workshop at more than 30 universities, reaching almost 7,000 students.

Located in Southwestern Cambodia, Kampot province was administered by notorious Chhit Choeun, known as Ta Mok during the Khmer Rouge era. Under his supervision, Kampot province was not only enriched with agricultural production, man-made dams, and salt, but also forced labour, and mass killings. Though the Khmer Rouge era collapsed in 1979, Ta Mok held the military power at western part of Cambodia until 1999 when he was arrested and detained. All his cliques—Ieng Sary, Khieu Samphan, and Nuon Chea—integrated with the government earlier. Ta Mok passed away in the Military Prison in Phnom Penh in 2006 before the start of ECCC. With this important site, the CTM hopes to use this workshop as a platform for disseminating information on the history of the Khmer Rouge, the trials of Khmer Rouge leaders, and research tools available for accessing these important topics. It is through this awareness and greater access to resources that the CTM Project hopes to preserve memory and enhance the access to (and understanding of) justice.
