PHNOM PENH, CAMBODIA, 21 APRIL, 2011-The Government of Norway has confirmed a new contribution of NOK 6,000,000 (approximately US$ 1.1 million) to the international component of the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC), the statement from the court said on Thursday.

With this latest contribution, Norway has provided financial assistance exceeding US$ 3.9 million to the ECCC. "We are very thankful for the generosity and continuous support offered by Norway.

Tony Kranh and Deputy Director Mr. Knut Rosandhaug in a statement. Norway has been supporting the ECCC since the court's establishment in 2006.
