Critics agree that much of Southeast Asia desperately needs judicial reform and rule of law. Yet, there is remarkably little comparative scholarship on law and legal institutions in the region. In this blog, I'll follow constitutional developments in Brunei, Burma (Myanmar), Cambodia, East Timor, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam, as well as the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).

Update Disappointment with KRT
UPDATE: There's been some disappointment that Duch only received a 30-year sentence (reduced to 19 years for time already served). There are some reactions in this Straits Times article. On the one hand, 19 years isn't a particularly long sentence for genocide. On the other, Duch is already 67 years old and not in great health - it's not like he's going to have a long, productive life after being released from prison. We'll hopefully see more reactions over the next few days...
