More than 1,000 Cambodians have gathered at the Khmer Rouge's killing fields and called for the swift trial of the regime's surviving leaders.
The gathering marked Memorial Day, when Cambodia remembers those killed under the Khmer Rouge regime.
The start of a joint UN-Cambodian tribunal has been pushed back to early 2008 after years of delays and wrangling.
But there are concerns that ageing Khmer Rouge leaders will die before being brought to justice.
Cambodian judges and international jurists will meet from May 31 in the hope of resolving a long-running dispute over rules that has delayed the start of genocide trials.
Up to two million people died of overwork and starvation or were executed under the rule of the Khmer Rouge in the late 1970s.

Cambodians should know not only Khmer Rouge who killed theri love dones but Yuan Rouge too. The Yaun Rouge were with Pol Pot just the same as Yuan-Viet Cong with Hun thug.

Ah Hun Kwak will never allow the Kmer Rouge trial to happen any time soon.
Wrong, it is Ah Sam Nazi who
blocked the trial.
