PHNOM PENH, Cambodia (AP) — Cambodia will not allow the U.N.-backed Khmer Rouge tribunal to prosecute former low-ranking officers of the genocidal regime because it would endanger national peace, the country's leader told the U.N. chief Wednesday.
Prime Minister Hun Sen's comments, made during a two-hour meeting with U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, were the government's latest obstruction of U.N. efforts to bring more Khmer Rouge leaders to justice.
Ban was visiting Cambodia as part of a four-country Asian tour.
The U.N.-assisted tribunal, which has a history of contentious relations with the Cambodian government, was a focus of Ban's trip to Cambodia. After meeting the prime minister, Ban headed to the tribunal to hold a town hall-style meeting with its staff.
The 1975-79 Khmer Rouge regime was blamed for the deaths of some 1.7 million people from starvation, disease, overwork and execution.
After 30 years and lengthy delays, the tribunal's first conviction came in July when the Khmer Rouge's chief jailer was sentenced to 19 years in prison, closing what was known as Case 001. Kaing Guek Eav, also known as Duch, was convicted of war crimes and crimes against humanity.
Case 002 is expected to start next year against the four top surviving Khmer Rouge leaders, who are accused of war crimes, genocide and crimes against humanity.
International co-prosecutors at the tribunal have tried to launch a new case — 003 — against lower-ranking officers accused of murder, torture and other crimes. But they say progress has been blocked by political interference from Cambodian officials who oppose more prosecutions.
"Hun Sen has said clearly that there will be no case 003 allowed. We have to think about peace in Cambodia," Foreign Minister Hor Namhong told reporters after the meeting with Ban.
Hun Sen has repeatedly said that bringing more Cambodians to trial could harm national peace and healing and that the nation needs to move on.
Critics accuse Hun Sen of trying to limit the tribunal's scope to prevent his political allies from being indicted. Hun Sen once served as a Khmer Rouge officer and many of his main allies are also former members of the group.
Ban started his Asia tour in Thailand and will also visit Vietnam and China.

Hun Sen bluffs but at the end he will let Khmer rouge court does its job, I guess..
Did he say National PEACe? What he meant to say.
"I'm Megamind, and I will rule the world".
I feel you are not Khmer or Cambodian. Why you said Hun Sen's government ? We have only the government of Cambodia and not the government of one person.
Accepted or not, but we Khmer have to respect the rule of law.

"A CAMP CALLED BOENG TRABEK"
PHNOM PENH POST, JANUARY 19 - FEBRUARY 1, 2001
Keo Bunthouk who was detained with her husband, former diplomat Ieng Kounsaky, at the Boeng Trabek camp (Section B32 presided over by Hor Namhong) from 1977 to 1979.
Q: Who should be held responsible for the murders of Boeng Trabek inmates?
A: Now you repeat this question and maybe Hor Namhong will want to assassinate me, what will happen to me? I've heard that Hor Namhong wants to sue the newspaper that said he was Khmer Rouge.
Keo Bunthouk died under suspicious circumstances in 2001, shortly after she gave interview to the Phnom Penh Post.
Keo Bunthouk was a survivor of Boeng Trabek prison B32.
Keo Bunthouk was a member of the Cambodian Parliament from FUNCINPEC Party.
Hor Namhong said to the French judge that he is not a prison chief of Boeung Trabek prison B32, in fact members of his family was killed by Khmer Rouge(s).
Hor Namhong can lies all he want, at the end, he got summoned and will get indict, prosecute, convict and sentence.
Criminals likes to lies.
The place where criminals lies the most is inside the court room in front of the judge(s).
On October 7, 2009 Chea Sim, Heng Samrin, Hor Namhong, Keat Chhon, Ouk Bunchhoeun and Sim Ka has been summoned by the UN backed Khmer Rouge Tribunal court (ECCC).

They call it Hun Sen's government because Hun Sen is the head of the government . government doesnt belong to everyone ,it belongs to the party that won the election .
the king is the head of the state , hun sen is the head of the government .
There will be no war even if they take Hun Sen to Court because people are sick of fighting and killing each other. Hun Sen just use those words to scare people because he might be ended up in jail if the Court bring more Khmer Rouge leaders to justice.

The Tribunal must get rid off Khmer Rouge legacy once for all. Any attempt to interfere with justice system will be prosecuted accordingly. The CPP regime has committed crimes against humanity.
If you look at the case digit number 001, there would be 998 cases more need to be prosecuted for the genocide during Hun Sen's brother, Pol Pot,ruled Cambodia. This may included Hun Sen company and the one talked blindly shit on this forum. Remember UN is the world body can not do whatever Akwak want.
