Abstract
Applications for judicial disqualification are nothing new at the ECCC. Like other international criminal tribunals, the ECCC accepts an independent and impartial tribunal as a fundamental part of a defendant's right to a fair trial. Rule 34(2) of the ECCC's Internal Rules allows parties to apply to have a judge or judges disqualified 'in any case in which the Judge has a personal or financial interest, or concerning which the Judge has, or has had, any association which objectively might affect his or her impartiality, or objectively give rise to the appearance of bias'. The rule therefore encompasses both actual bias and the appearance of bias.
