01005722 Case File No. 002/19-09-2007/ECCC/TC E313 101. Having surveyed the early history of the CPK and the events leading to the 1970-1975 civil war, the Chamber now examines the CPK policies that were being developed within the areas ’liberated’ by the CPK prior to 1975. 3.3. Development of CPK Policies 102. According to the Closing Order, starting prior to 17 April 1975, CPK leaders designed and implemented a series of reforms, including the formulation of five policies that are the subject of Case 002: 1. The repeated movement of the population from towns and cities to rural areas, as well as from one rural area to another; 2. The establishment and operation of cooperatives and worksites; 3. The re-education of “bad elements” and killing of “enemies”, both inside and outside the Party ranks; 4. The targeting of specific groups, in particular the Cham, Vietnamese, Buddhists and former officials of the Khmer Republic, including both civil servants and former military personnel and their families; and 5. The regulation of marriage.286 103. Of these, the two policies concerning forced movement and the targeting of former officials of the Khmer Republic are the subject of the charges at issue in Case 002/01, though the existence of the other policies is also relevant.287 Democratic Kampuchea, E3/16, p. 40, ERN (En) 00498259; Book by Khieu S.: Cambodia’s Recent History and the Reasons Behind the Decisions I Made, E3/18, 2004, pp. 41-42, ERN (En) 0010374344; Documentary by D.

See Decision on Severance of Case 002 Following Supreme Court Chamber Decision of 8 February 2013, E284, 26 April 2013, para. 118 (“the inclusion within the scope of Case 002/01 of the alleged population movement and executions committed at Tuol Po Chrey, and associated crimes against humanity, enable examination of two of the five main themes of the Case 002 Closing Order, i.e. forced movement and execution of purported enemies of the regime.”); See also, Response to issues raised by parties in advance of trial and scheduling of informal meeting with Senior Legal Officer on 18 November 2011, E141, 17 November 2011, p. 2 (“Regarding the examination of policies other than those relating to forced evacuation, the purpose of including reference to them in the first trial is to enable the manner in which policy was developed to be established. What is therefore envisaged is Case 002/01, Judgement, 7 August 2014 - Public 55
