WASHINGTON - HUMAN rights groups on Thursday criticised Cambodia's leaders for opposing a new Khmer Rouge trial and urged US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to show support for the UN-backed court.
Prime Minister Hun Sen said on Wednesday that a second trial due to start early next year of cadres from the genocidal regime would be the last, voicing fear that further prosecutions could plunge the country back into war.
Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch in a joint statement said they 'strongly condemn' statements by Cambodian leaders against the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR).
'This attack by the government on the OHCHR Cambodia office should be seen as a direct assault on the UN's human rights mandate, encompassed by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the international human rights conventions, many of which Cambodia has ratified,' they said.
The statement said that Mrs Clinton, who visits next week, 'should publicly express support for the OHCHR Cambodia office and the UN's human rights mandate'. UN chief Ban Ki Moon visited Phnom Penh on Thursday and said that the decision whether to pursue more Khmer Rouge cadres would be up to the court.
The court has been investigating whether to open a third case against former Khmer Rouge cadres, but has faced political opposition. Mr Hun Sen was once a mid-level Khmer Rouge member himself before turning against the movement. His government has said that domestic courts can handle any further cases, accusing well-paid foreign lawyers of seeking to try more suspects for their own benefit.

Right now due to the political situation in Cambodia I think Cambodia is more stable then any other times. I think no one can cause any poltical excuses except Hun Sen. If he doesn't cause trouble there will no one or any individual will dare to cause anything since now there is a law that Hun Sen using it label it on the opposition or other groups. Which that law was adopted from the US (Terrorism Law). I think if Hun Sen going to use this term we or the law of Cambodia can use to strike first to stop Hun Sen. Pre-emptive strike is the term they using nowadays. Please don't let Hun Sen threaten this. We are the people of Cambodia and the people of the UN will not want to see Hun Sen keeps on threatening this.
Please continue to persecute the rest of the perpetratiors from Pol Pot regime which almost 90% related to CPP that control Cambodia now. That's why Hun Sen is scare!!!!
Khmer Serey,

I don't know if UN is fed up with Hun Sen!
UN should not bend down to HUN SEN!!
Khmer PP,
You all need to look at the beginning of the process negotiated clumsily by Sen John Kerry who is a pro-Hanoi and pro-Hun Sen regime. I am glad he didn't get elected as President. I voted for Bush, never for this guy.
May God of UN bless ah Hun Sen to Hell and eat shit of Viet in Hanoi. May Khmer victims put him out of power in the next few weeks.
