		Ninian's mind was elsewhere, as he cast his eyes to the gold lettering of the board and the images it conjured up of Vice Admirals in days of yore.

		Commenting on Sir Ninian Stephen's work as head of the Group of Experts on Cambodia, Hans Corell has observed that he "combined a legal and political judgment, profound belief in the principles of international criminal jurisdiction and grace and human warmth to the many Cambodians who shared with him their pain the grief".

	ABC Radio National - The Law Report Transcript - March 10 1998
		Ninian Stephen: He pleaded guilty and in the course of making his plea, and subsequently on a couple of occasions when he appeared before the court, for instance for sentence, he described the circumstances in which he committed the act, which he admitted he had committed.
		Ninian Stephen: Not as much as you'd imagine, and that largely because the statute which was imposed upon us, having been drafted in New York and approved by the Security Council, was quite clearly a common law model of trial that it set forth.
		Ninian Stephen: It was quite a new experience, and I think quite an exciting one, partly because you felt that you were making the law rather than dealing with law which had been long established in very many cases.

	PM - Former G-G surprised by Cambodian trial outcome
		Sir Ninian, a former Governor General and ex-chairman of the UN Expert Group on Cambodia, says he's surprised that the Phnom Penh court decided to apply the amnesty for Khmer Rouge defectors to the kidnapping and murder of David Wilson and his fellow backpackers.
		NINIAN STEPHENS: I think the outcome sounds very much like a travesty of justice, but the granting of what was apparently the amnesty applicable to this sort of offence, I would doubt whether that was the intention.
		NINIAN STEPHENS: Well, as I say, it all depends on what sort of provision there is for an Appeal Court and also, I suspect, it depends rather on what the attitude of government in Cambodia is to this particular decision.

		Sir Ninian Stephen was a judge of the Supreme Court of Victoria 1970-1972, a justice of the High Court of Australia 1972-1982 and Governor General of Australia 1982-1989.
		Sir Ninian reminds us that 'an independent judiciary is in itself no sufficient guarantee of liberty or of the rights of minorities' because the courts' responsibility is limited to interpreting and applying laws made by parliament.
		He believes 'community consensus supporting the independence of the judiciary may be less easy to maintain in the face of either highly activist judicial law-making or of judges entrusted with the interpretation and application of entrenched guarantees of human rights'.
