Cambodia's Prime Minister Hun Sen has criticised the United Nations for not renouncing its past relations with the Khmer Rouge.
Up to two million people died of starvation and overwork or were executed under the Khmer Rouge, which ruled Cambodia from 1975 to1979.
During that period, the United Nations still allowed the regime to represent the country before the world body.
Opening a student building, Hun Sen made the statement that in the past, the UN supported the Khmer Rouge, but now it will try the regime's surviving leaders in court.
He says the UN has never said its past policy to allow Khmer Rouge leaders to represent Cambodia at the United Nations was wrong.
Established in July 2006 after nearly a decade of negotiations between Cambodia and the UN, the joint Cambodian UN tribunal seeks to prosecute crimes committed by senior Khmer Rouge leaders.

ATTENTION:
CAMBODIA FOR SALE!
Because Youn invasion, UN recognized KR. Now, Youn's influences in Cambodia that UN is still relating Hun Sen to KR.
Why today Hun Sen is very cozy with China? He forgot China is main supporter of KR during 1979-1993. Memory deficit kit in him due to his presenile age.
Pragmatic point of view goes hand in hand with him.
Well, without China, there will not be Cambodia. Get it?
This guy Hun Sen, defying the UN. A country that existed based on donation make such demand, come on. Don't bite the hands that feed you ah Hun. If the facts are falsifying as you claimed, then HunSen you should produce the evidence.
Have you not hear or see the suffering of the poor people? Have you not see the homelessness, landlessness, and abusivenness that plaque the country? I strongly support Ghai's claimed 10 to Xth power.
