Cambodia tribunal future uncertain

1 November 2010
By International Justice Tribune

United Nations chief Ban Ki-moon said last week it would be up to Cambodia’s UN-backed Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC) to decide whether or not to start a third trial.

Ban’s statement came a day after Prime Minister Hun Sen told him in Phnom Penh that a second Khmer Rouge war crimes trial, due to start early next year, would be the last and “case three is not allowed” because it could plunge the country back into civil war.

Hun Sen was once a mid-level Khmer Rouge member before turning against the movement.

“The UN will discuss this matter with international community members, particularly donors,” Ban said.


Also speaking in Cambodia this week, US foreign minister Hillary Clinton hailed the court’s work. She said the tribunal “is bringing some of the people who caused so much suffering to justice. The work of the tribunal is painful but it is necessary to ensure a lasting peace.”

In its first case, the court in July sentenced former prison chief Kaing Guek Eav, also known as Duch, a 30-year jail term for overseeing the deaths of more than 12,000 men, women and children in the late 1970s.

In September, the court indicted four regime leaders for genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity. They are charged in connection with the deaths of up to two million people from starvation, overwork and execution between 1975 and 1979.

Case#3 should go on even though Hun Sen insisted that the country could plunge back into a civil war, but the question is WAR WITH WHO????? WHO FIGHT THE WAR, WHO STARTS THE WAR? WAR FOR WHAT? PEOPLE ARE TIRED OF WAR, WAR BRINGS THEM NOTHING, BUT DESTRUCTION.

I STRONGLY BELIEVE, THERE WILL BE NO WAR AFTER CASE# 3 BEGINS. HUN SEN THREATEND THE WORLD ONLY TO PROTECT HIMSELF AND OTHER KHMER ROUGE CURRENTLY IN OFFICE WHO WORKING FOR HIM. YES, HE TOO SCARES TO SHOW HIMSELF UP IN KR TRIBUNAL IN FRONT OF PEOPLE AND ON FACE OF TV AROUND THE WORLD.

HUN SEN IS A GANGSTER, KILLER, COMMUNIST LEADER THAT NEVER CARES ABOUT HUMAN LIVES OR ANY BODY BUT HIMSELF AND HIS FAMILY.

HE SHOULD BE PROSECUTED AS WELL.

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said during her visited to Cambodia lately:

Speed up Khmer Rouge Trial ( ECCC )

case # 002.


Hun Sen always says if further indictment, Hun Sen will shut down the Khmer Rouge Trial Court or ( ECCC )


Why Sun Sen always:

1. Always slow the ECCC down.

2. Causing corruption in ECCC.

3. If further indictment Hun Sen
rather shut ECCC down.

4. Why Hun Sen does not cooperate
with cases # 003 and 004.

The answers are too easy and obvious because Yuon and Hun Sen are involved deeply in killing Khmer 1.7 million between 1975-1979:

Look at the so-called Hun Sen government:

1. Hor Namhong ( former Khmer
Rouge B32 prison chief , one of
196 prisons during Khmer Rouge
period between 1975-1979 )
2. Meas Sophea ( yuon born in
in Vietnam serving as Army
General in Hun Sen regime.

3. Heng Samrin ( Khmer Viet Minh
before became Khmer Rouge and
then CPP )

4. Chea Sim ( Khmer Viet Minh
before became Khmer Rouge and
then CPP )

To all Khmer please look at CPP leaders and members they all Yuon , Yuon Viet Minh, Khmer Viet Minh, Former Khmer Rouge before they became CPP Party ruling the country.

CPP.........nonProHanoi........PP said...

It kind of good to see how "domd rest chiis kor ang"....... First Youn pretend to be saving Khmer by saying KR killed Khmer. Then Youn put KR in Jail now the KR is explaining why they are KR and where they are come from and who created them and who was involved in killing and who was "ankar leu"? ... so now two plus two is four!

Youn was hoping they would have wiped out the Khmer entire race but it is like that...Khmer is not Champa... now KR will bring Viet Nam to court as well. and VIet slaves (Hs and his gangsters)

CPP.........nonProHanoi........PP

Here I come Viet Nam!!! DO not run I will find you!!

We hope the KR still remember everything to testify..
