Important figures in the genocidal Khmer Rouge regime might face the UN assisted Khmer Rouge Tribunal, according to a book by Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung foundation.
Founded in Berlin in 1925, the foundation is a private non-profit German organization to achieve the fundamental values of democracy, social justice, and peaceful international understanding.
The book entitled, Cambodia 1975-2005: Journey Through the Night, relates horrible events, and unspeakable fates during the wars in Cambodia.
The book mentions former Khmer Rouge leaders who are close to the killing fields' architect and Brother number one, Pol Pot: Khieu Samphan, Nuon Chea, and Ieng Sary.
Mr. Khieu Samphan, 73 years old, was former chief of state, Mr. Nuon Chea, 77 years old, was second highest leader, and Mr. Ieng Sary, 74 years old, was former foreign minister.
Opposition lawmaker Keo Remy says that the three former Khmer Rouge leaders cannot escape the special court for the Khmer Rouge trial, and the outcome will depend on the Khmer Rouge Tribunal jurists.
Document Center of Cambodia's director, Yuk Chhang says it's up to the jurists on the Khmer Rouge tribunal, but this book is an important tool for the judges and prosecutors to reflect on.
The Khmer Rouge Tribunal spokesman, Mr. Reach Sambath says that he and the jurists do not interfere with the book being published.
He says that the narration in any book in the past, is the individual's rights, and that the court will not make its decision based on people's comments, but instead on court exhibits, evidences, documents, and witnesses.
Reach Sambath says the Khmer Rouge Tribunal jurists began their investigations into the former Khmer Rouge leaders' crimes since July. No one has been charged yet.
The U.N. has a budget of more than $56 million for this trial which is expected to last 3 year.

Cambodian people must dare to say the trueth that Sihanouk was indeed the leader of this killing orhanisation since 1970 until 1996 when the killing of all his oppsitions has completed and then he started to lead this organisation again from 1979 until 1989 when the Vietnamese toppled his killing regime out from power. If this Sihanouk was not part of the killing field, he will rejoin this organisation again after 1979. Therefore Sihanouk must face the same crime as others for killing Cambodian 3 millions people.
Sihanouk = Pol Pot, Samphan, Nuon Chea and Sary.

All Khmer, please look at SIHANOUK CRIME !!! as above.
I agree with the comments 3:20am and 5:04am.
In default of POL POT, NORODUMB SIHANOUK OF TA TRASAK PAEM would be happy (he adores very much the publicity to replace him and show to Khmer and to the world all the proof of his CRIME to face the tribunal Khmer rouge as the GREAT BLOODTHIRSTY KING FATHER of the KHMER ROUGE from 1970-1976.
And please don't forget Ah Chh'kaer Yuon HANOI, HUN SEN that is handing everything Khmer has now (land, sea...) over to ah (Viet) YUON and allowing millions of Viets (YUON) to come and live freely on Khmer land. the Viet controls everything in Cambodia now. Please don't forget that! SRP or any other political parties will not have any chance to win any election at all. CAN WE ALL see that???

The Cambodian history had shown that anytime Cambodian leaders colluded with foreign powers and Cambodian leaders tend to kill their own people! Does Cambodian leaders even have a fucken brain?
