Genocide Conference in South Africa Tackles Questions of Education

Youk Chhang, a leading Cambodian genocide researcher, shows a copy of the Cambodian version of a Khmer Rouge history textbook to teachers in Takeo province.

He urged all nations suffering from the memory of genocide to take their own initiatives to include genocide studies in their curricula.

WASHINGTON DC - Chhang Youk, director of the Documentation Center of Cambodia, is in Cape Town, South Africa, for a UN-sponsored forum on the teaching of genocide in schools. He urged all nations suffering from the memory of genocide to take their own initiatives to include genocide studies in their curricula.

“We ought to remember that we have to begin doing these things ourselves,” Chhang Youk told VOA Khmer from Cape Town. “No one can do it better, or understand the issue better than us.”

The Unesco-sponsored forum, “Why Teach About Genocide - the Example of the Holocaust,” is meant to further discussions on how to design educational programs that teach about genocide and atrocities. Cambodia is a leading country in the research of genocide and has recently begun distributing teaching materials on the subject.


The UN in 1948 passed a convention on the prevention and punishment of genocide crimes, but it was not until 2007 that it passed a resolution on Holocaust denial and put an emphasis on education for genocide prevention.

Chhang Youk said countries must determine for themselves the best way to educate on genocide. “If we wait for the UN to act, all people will be ignorant of genocide, and this is a root cause for genocide to happen again and again,” he said. “It took the UN 59 years to realize that education is a way to stop genocide.”

I heard of Lok Ta Chhang Song. He was a founder of Save Cambodia something like that. He earned only a bachelor degree in Political science, but he could get the US to helped him. Later the US cut off support he went to Cambodia and joined CPP, then he was doomed by the CPP because the Yuon did not trust him from the old Sihanouk school. I also heard that he never care about his wife, his children either, he never paid a cent to help them.

I also heard about Yuok Chhang and he earned Yuon trust, that is why he is still in the payroll.

Youk Chhang is trying to take Khmers' attention away from million Yuon in Cambodia AND from Yuon taking Cambodia. Youk have committed genocide against Khmer Krom, Khmer kandal, and against Cham don't we want to learn about it?

Yuon helped Pol Pot and Yuon were with Pol Pot together. The genocide against Khmers were Yuon/Pot, it was designed by Yuon.

Why Youk Chhang is making his debut on this fake research is so important? Go figure. Who does Youk Chhang serve? He serves Yuon interest.

Khmere Krom & Cham people learned and knew about Yuon genocidal against them more than Youk Chhang's scheme to stay on payroll collecting money every month which he does not deserve any respect from any body. OK he makes Yuon/CPP happy but not Khmers.

Ah Youk Chhang is truly Yuon's clown. Where is in his research about Yuon committed genocide against Khmers, against Cham against Degar (Montagnard) people?

Fuck you ah Yuon Chahang. You should not lie, we Khmers knew all about it.
Yes this site is the best for real documents I found in Khmerization and at other hundred sites, and it cannot be disputed.
