Standing outside the Phnom Penh headquarters of the Human Rights Component of the United Nations Transitional Authority in Cambodia (UNTAC), Australian barrister at law, mediator and specialist negotiator Mark Plunkett holds up an illustration by an unidentified schoolchild depicting the brutal treatment of Cambodia's Buddhist community by Pol Pot's Khmer Rouge. This drawing is one of over 10,000 received by the Human Rights Component, drawn by Cambodian schoolchildren in response to a Cambodia wide human rights information campaign undertaken by the Human Rights Component of the UNTAC. Plunkett was appointed the United Nations' first Special Prosecutor in 1993 with a mandate to investigate war crimes, acts of genocide and human rights abuses. He encountered severe political opposition from all factions in his attempts to bring the first two human rights abuse cases before the Cambodian courts, which were rejected by Phnom Penh's People's Municipal Tribunal of Justice.
