The UN must overcome any obstacle posed by Vietnam and the puppet government of Hun Sen if the UN wants to gain respect from the people around the world about its integrity and competency.
The UN must keep the KRT going, finding justice for Khmer people is UN’s noble mission. The UN will ultimately understand Vietnam's tricks deployed in Cambodia. In effect, Vietnam has created and brainwashed Khmer Vietminh, to make Khmer fight with Khmer, to make Khmer kill each other and exploit it. That was one of the main reasons why about 3 million Khmer people perished during the Pol Pot’s era.
Presently, Vietnam’s strategy is to put one dumb leader such as Hun Sen to control Khmer people and Vietnam manipulates him behind the scene to reach its goal of colonizing Cambodia.
The concern that the UN would uncover the murderers who committed the mass killing during the Pol Pot's era has prompted Vietnam to push its puppet Hun Sen to react strangely in an effort to impede the KRT from going smoothly.
If Vietnam is the real Cambodians' savior, why Vietnam is so apprehensive about the KRT, especially concerning case 3 and case 4 ?
