Japan has announced it will donate two million US dollars for a centre to keep the legal records of Cambodia's Khmer Rouge tribunal.
The documentation centre will store the public records of the UN-backed tribunal.
Japan's embassy says the centre will serve as a token of remembrance and non-recurrence of the Khmer Rouge regime.
It says the funds will also support the building of another legal centre where Cambodian lawyers can represent those who are socially vulnerable.
A month ago the court heard final arguments in its first war crimes trial -- that of former Khmer Rouge prison chief Kaing Guek Eav, better known as Duch.
Up to two million people died as a result of the brutal Khmer Rouge regime from 1975 to 1979.
