Norodom Sihanouk talks again about his possible appearance at the Khmer Rouge Tribunal

King-Father Norodom Sihnaouk “will not lower himself to take oath” in front of the tribunal in charge of judging the former Khmer Rouge leaders. In his “Cambodian Studies” publication dated Wednesday 05 September, Sihanouk indicated that he did not see, with his own eyes, the Khmer Rouge crimes, and he recalls that his family was severely affected when 5 of his children and 14 of his grandchildren disappeared. King-Father’s writing came out while the UN failed to reply to his invitation. “I did not see the Khmer Rouges committing their atrocities, or (inflicting) bad treatments, or even (issuing) threats against one or several people, or a group of people. I already tell all. I have nothing else to say to the ECCC UN. […] I owe nothing to the ECCC UN,” King-Father insisted again. On 30 August, King-Father invited Peter Foster, KR Tribunal spokesman, as well as other “UN foreigner volunteers,” to come to the Royal Palace to discuss, in front of cameras, about the Khmer Rouge issue. Peter Foster did not reply to his invitation, because of the process (taken by King-Father) was not official, Peter Foster said.

If itwas any written invitation then Peter Foster should acknowledge it and reply appropriately.Any suggestion if alternative arrangement be made thus king is informed and so is the government.This would express the respect for both parties.No prejudgement should be made unless proven guilty under any circumstance.As spokeperson,communication should be maintained.

How can this stupid, moreon king lie in front of Cambodian and the world that KR didn't commit any crime? How can he declare this stupid thing now? He looks down to the 2 million Cambodian deaths and don't care how many people killed. We can't let this idiot N. Sihanouk get off the hook. He is the Hitler of Cambodia.

If he is a criminal, he needs to appear in court. Not the court goes to his house. This is not the law of international.

SHUT UP ALL OF YOU TROUBLE MAKERS. KR didn't take him to see the killings and how can you expect our King to see? Use your brain monsters.

KR does not want to drag King-Robot around to see the mass killing. Too heavy and that serves no purpose at all.

They just insert new programs for him to say, see and think.

Who are the programmers? Just look around him. They are the ones King-Robot worships today.

You are right. King-Robot is innocent of everything. It is not fair that everyone is picking on him. He is above everything else that is human and thus untouchable.

Just want to hear King-Robot sings another song for His savior Hun-Sen one more time on national TV....

Never see any king on earth who would lower himself and sing to anybody except this one.

King Sihanouk was under house arrest in his palace and thanks to Red China for guarantees his life otherwise Mr.Pol Pot took him out like a headless chicken! The whole ideology of Communism never gives a fuck about King and Queen! If any of you Cambodian people don’t understand what the fuck I am talking about and I suggest that you look at Russian history which is the birth place of communism and tell me what happen to the Russian King and Queen? You guess it right! The Russian Communist executed the whole Russian Monarchy family! No more monarchy in Russia!

How can I blame Mr. Pol Pot for being a communist!
