Khmer Rouge: Why it matters 1 Year, 4 Months ago Karma: 19  
Interesting comment by Nic Dunlop in the latest issue of Irrawaddy. He writes about the Khmer Rouge tribunal in Cambodia.

In the upcoming Khmer Rouge genocide tribunal in Cambodia, the verdict is perhaps secondary to the larger goal of creating an understanding of the rule of law, he thinks.

The main problem about the international tribunal is that a lot of current Cambodia leaders came from the Kmers rouges, including the current dictator Hun Sen.

What is also an unconfortable position is that Khmers rouges where belonging to a government in exile leaded by Sihanouk and renognized by United Nations.

How to judge members of a government internationaly recognized while every one knew they were mass killers ?
