Khmer Rouge tribunal may widen investigations

Who's next?
Top row: Hun Xen, Chea Xim, Heng Xamrin
2nd row: Meas Muth, Hor 5 Hong, Keat Chhon
Bottom row: King-Father Norodom Sihanouk

Cambodia's war crimes tribunal has indicates it might investigate another five or six senior Khmer Rouge leaders for their part in the genocide of the 1970s. Five top officials are currently being prosecuted and the trial for the first, Duch, the chief of the torture prison Tuol Sleng, or S-21 is underway.

Presenter: Liam Cochrane
Speaker: Michelle Staggs Kelsall, who monitors the Khmer Rouge tribunal for the Asian International Justice Initiative.



KELSALL: I think the short answer is that it's at the start of a longer process, although the international prosecutor has said in the media that he will go ahead with forwarding two introductory missions to the co-investigating judges, which basically will kick-start an investigation. So I think at least there is going to be the start of an investigation by the co-investigating judges. Now whether there is further dispute at that level as to whether the investigation should go forward is yet to be seen.

COCHRANE: And do you know who those two submissions are - who the people possibly to be investigated are?

KELSALL: No, in order to protect the fair trial rights of any new suspects, as well as the integrity of the investigations process, the names of those identified have not been publicly disclosed. There is some media speculation as to who they might be or at least what positions they might hold, with most people speculating that they would be senior government and military people, potentially people who have held positions in those states as late as 2006.

COCHRANE: Has the testimony of Duch, the first person to be tried, has he named anyone outside of the five defendants already on the list?

KELSALL: Oh, during the course of the proceedings, Duch certainly mentioned a number of people predominantly who worked under his authority at S-21 or who he reported to particularly Son Sen. The majority of people however he has named are currently deceased.

COCHRANE: Now, once these, let me ask you, once the list has been, the extra names have been put forward, who makes the final decision on whether they are prosecuted?

KELSALL: Well, the closing order which is tantamount to indictment in the civil law system is issued by the co-investigating judges, so it's really their determination ultimately that will decide whether to go ahead to prosecution. There are a number of issues that can be appealed by the prosecutor of course after that order is issued and prior to that point, any disputes between the national and international side have to be settled by a pre-trial chamber. But the short answer is it will be the co-investigating judges that issue the indictment.

COCHRANE: Just on that tension between the national and international sides of the trial. Is this development something of a compromise between the two views, one wanting to expand and at least one wanting to keep it to those five already named?

KELSALL: Well, I am not sure whether we would characterise it as a compromise at this stage, given the judgement issued by the pre-trial chamber clearly shows an ongoing disagreement between the national and international sides of the judges as to how this issue should be handled. It was clear from the decision that the Cambodian judges did not believe that there was grounds to continue with additional investigations and that their international colleagues disagreed with them. However, under the court's internal rules and the law, the investigation has to go forward if there is a disagreement at this stage. However, at the stage of determining whether the accused persons at that point are guilty or innocent. If there is any dispute and no resolution is reached, it will then mean an acquittal, so...

COCHRANE: Just finally and very briefly, this is a politically sensitive issue I understand. Cambodia's Prime Minister Hun Sen has said that expanding the number of people on the list could destabilise Cambodia. Just how politically sensitive is it within the country?

KELSALL: It really depends on who you speak to on that issue. Obviously, Prime Minister Hun Sen has given statements to the media earlier this year saying that he believes it would cause further political unrest and possibly a return to conflict with former Khmer Rouge cadre. However, people I speak to on the ground say that they don't have any indication of this and they think that any real threat of that nature is completely unfounded.

It would very interesting to see how China and Vietnam would react to this call.
King Father Sihanouk was with China and these members of the governmnet were with Vietnam.

Who will win? China or US?

do you really want to have another civil
do you want us to kill each other and destroy the country again
you drag the process too far, you create an atmosphere of chaos and will lead to war, and we will kill and destroy the whole fucking country
is this what you want
go ahead drag more witnesses, or what have you, then you'll know what will have happen
warning: civil war is on the horizon, and what beyond the horizon is devastation and suffering

It won't be any civil war.
The UN backed by the US to have this KRT. The US wants to put China in a bad spot for causing 1.7million Cambodians died; and to isolate SEA nations from China.

Every time the super powerful nations fight small countries will suffer and die.

Now that China controls the water, this KRT is becoming aggressive.

Some accused King Sihanouk of running to China, but the fact was China invited him to Beijing for reason to check up.

Do you know Vietnam lacks of river water? Because China built many Dams on the top of Red River. Now you see why this KRT is becoming too aggressive.

Yes, Hun Sen was once a commander for the khmer rough, but he defected from them when he found out what the khmer rough wanted to do to the people, he had no parts in the killing of Cambodians people. If you want to put Hun Sen on trials, you should put most Cambodians who borned before 1975 on trial together, becuase most Cambodians who borned before 1975 supported the khmer rough,event the Lon Nol armies supported the khmer rough at that time, becuase at that time everywhere the khmer rough came to attacked the Lon Nol armies just laid down their weapons and let the khmer rough took over. Yes, most of us was victims of the khmer rough, but most of us were supporters of the khmer rough and Hun Sen was in the same boat.

Correction.
Hun Sen DID NOT defected from the Khmer Rouge because "he found out what the Khmer Rouge wanted to do to the people, he had no parts in the killing of Cambodians people."

Hun Sen and many Khmer Rouge military battalions within the Eastern Zone constituency comprised of former Indochina Communist Party members who were trained in Hanoi during 1940s, 50's and 60s. They were not the communists of Pol Pot and the other Cambodian students who studied in Paris.

Also, the Eastern Zone Khmer Rouge failed in their raids east of the border into Vietnam. The main Angka (consisting of Pol Pot, Ieng Sary, etc.) realized those Khmer Rouge in the Eastern Zone were inefficient in following orders and some of them already struck deals with Hanoi even before 1975.

The main Khmer Rouge under Angka's leadership had conflicts of interests with the Eastern Zone Khmer Rouge who's leadership were Hanoi trained. As a result, Angka wanted to purge the Eastern Zone groups. The Eastern Zone, upon hearing of this, got scared, shit their pants and ran away into Vietnam to save their own asses. It just happened that Vietnam found an opportunity to invade Cambodia ("liberating" as a pretext) and use the Eastern Zone Khmer Rouge as newly installed puppets of Hanoi.

So yeah, Hun Sen didn't care about the Cambodian people being tortured, starved and executed. He simply only wanted to save his own ass.

During Pol Pot regime costed more 2 Millions life of Cambodian. I have heard more than 6000 chinesse experts working there at the time, exp. I saw myself 1977 in Kampong Chhnang (new airport). In the research wheher China has involed indirect with this issue, the answer NO. If during Pol Pot regime worked more than 6000 experts like China at the time, then the world say USA has involved with this case. That is unfair, but if USA presented at that the Killing fields in Cambodia will be never happed.

Cambodia isn't clean until it cleans out all the bad guys. In this case, does China deserves to be honored as clean guy or Nation? When in fact she has bloody hands on 2 millions Cambodian lives? Vietnam must also justify herself once again as to why she was getting involved with Cambodia in the first place? Especially from January 1979 until present.

We know that United States has nothing to do with Cambodia between April 17th. 1975 and January 7th of 1979. Cann't help , but seeing # 1 and # 7 looking as they are true identical devils. In fact it was all about Mr. Ching Chungs that played the biggest part in turning Cambodia into hell on this Earth during those time. Where is justice?

The UN tribunal is doing a good job and go for the right direction. They need to summon the CPP leaderships including Hun Zen, Chea Zim, Heng Zam Rin, Hor 5 Hong, Keat Chorn, Sihanouk, Sor Kheng, and Sok An to stand trial.

Don't cry out loud about civil war that Hun Zen tries to scare the UN. He doesn't know the US can take him out any time like the history shown such as Marcos, Bosnia leaders, Sadam Hun Zen of Iraq and Kampuchea.

The majority were born before 1975 didn't support Khmer rouge; only a few who went to French and poor peasants supports the KR at that time. I lived in the city and born before that period are not supporting any KR regime. May be you're one of them.

About China keeps building the dams across Mekong river. The world will be go to war with one another about water shortage problem. As Turkey tries to contain water for themself, the nations like Iraq and Syria are not happy with Turkey. I guess the future war will be about fresh drinking water.

The UN is nothing too great, it has failed its duties for numerous times.

It is not about the Dams on Mekong river that your Vietnamese are worried it is the Dams on Red River that your Vietnamese suffer more.

You son of bitch focus on eliminating Khmers while the Vietnamese keep nominating their own people for high positions?

4:22 PM,
Hun Sen broke away from Pol Pot not because he saw Pol Pot as evil or because of his guilt for collaborating with Pol Pot to kill his own people, but to save his skin since he knew Pol Pot was looking at eliminating him as well.

To me, Hun Sen was as guilty as Pol Pot. Pol Pot gave the orders and Hun Sen was the executioner.

As such he should stand trial as did the five KR officials who are in custody now.

I see the situations in Cambodia, and it is going to that direction.
A few old real Khmers with high positions were ordered to new and luxury offices in PP. They were told to take vacations and return to work when they come back.
When they returned from their vacations, they were ordered to retire. Now those new offices are occupied by new faces who speak fluently Khmers and they are young people. That's the facts, and stop fooling yourself, just keep watching. Don't argue with stupid things, I only shared what I knew about.

It is important for rights groups and the world community to stand firm in regard to the KRT and not to cave in to repeated threat of renewed 'civil war'. Firstly, that we are hearing of the threat at all is indicative of the pressure the trail is bringing to bear upon the PP regime (or at least some elements within it), and secondly; in the event the regime opts to carry out the threat, the world and history will cast appropriate judgement based upon the regime's manifest contempt for the judicial prerogatives and obstraction of an independent court, in which case being forced to abandon what could be the trial of the century (in order to avoid a civil war) is preferable, in my view, to delivering half-hearted, half-baked verdict to the Cambodian people.

Despite demonstrated willingness to adapt to social-economic realities, it is evident that the regime has not been inclined to open itself up politically sufficiently enough to integrate non-revolutionary elements into its own ranks, essentially, because of Vietnam's weariness over the re-emergence of Cambodian nationalism, particularly, one that is not aligned to her.

With this consideration and the practical need to fill the political-administrative vacuum created by the sudden collapse of the Pol Pot faction, Hanoi advised and approved the use of patronage-nepotistic recruitment drive by its own hand-picked Khmer communists such as Chea Sim, Hun Sen, and others who have since established personal fiefdoms for themselves. In this sense, it can be said the party views trust and discipline as paramount; over and above its professed Marxist-Leninist ideology which stresses a new fraternity among men and condemns inherently unjust reciprocal undercurrents of feudalism.

It might be wise for the Tribunal to keep the 'Suspects File' open while engaging increased international support aimed at getting the regime to release major suspects for questioning. In any case, if their past is as clean as they claim, suspects should have nothing to fear before an independent tribunal. As for the threat of civil war, this could well materialise in the form of popular discontent given the regime's refusal to address interrelated issues such as the misuse of international aid, mounting economic crisis, leasing large tracts of primary forest to unethical commercial interest. . .

ACID ATTACK ON TAT MARINA
Cambodian People's Party Hun Sen Khmer Rouge Regime had committed acid attack.
"On December 5, 1999, Tat Marina, age 16, was severely disfigured in an acid attack in Phnom Penh. The attack was allegedly committed by Khun Sophal, the wife of a senior government official, Svay Sitha, because she was angry her husband had a sexual relationship with Tat Marina. Neither Khun Sophal nor those suspected of being her accomplices in the attack were brought to justice. Intense media publicity compelled the Phnom Penh Municipal Court to issue an arrest warrant for Khun Sophal for attempted murder, but the police claimed that they could not locate her, although journalists reported that she was living at home as usual."

TORTURE AND MURDER ON PRAK SITHA WHILE IN CUSTODY BY MISNISTRY OF INTERIOR OFFICIAL
Cambodian People's Party Hun Sen Khmer Rouge Regime had committed torture and murder.
"On the night of January 16, 2003, a street youth named Prak Sitha was beaten to death at the Ministry of Interior (MOI) headquarters after he was arrested and detained by off-duty MOI officers on suspicion of theft. His body - bearing numerous injuries to the head, torso, arms, and legs - was dumped at a Phnom Penh pagoda the following morning by ministry officers, in violation of police regulations regarding deaths in custody. No criminal charges were filed in connection with this death. In December 2004, the case was cited by the UN secretary-general's special representative for human rights in Cambodia - who stated that Prak Sitha died at the ministry "following beatings by a known police officer" - as an example of a "consistent and continuing pattern of impunity" in Cambodia."

Mean Sokchea was detained by the police overnight but was then released, allegedly after intervention by Hing Bun Heang. Put Samphor's family received US$2,700 from Mean Sokchea, and the police told them that their daughter was shot while authorities were chasing robbers."

Khmers are so divided.

They are aggressively fighting with each others until no Khmers left. This fighting benefits the Vietnamese whose strategies are superb, finally they destroyed the WILL of Khmers after ~500 years they studied about Khmers' mentalities.

Majority supported the Royal government, but some mostly outside Cambodia are anti-the Royal Government.

The anti-royal Government want to put China and Vietnam's factions on trial.

They are convinced to believe through pictures and superb Vietnamese' propagandas that the leaders who struggled to free Cambodia from the quiet invasion by the Vietnamese for about 500 years are the real killers of Khmer people.

No GOD no Buddhas can save Khmers, but Cambodia can be saved.
The land of Cambodia will always be saved just that the Khmers will soon disappear. The land of Cambodia will be given to new people, new Cambodians (Not Khmers) and they will be the rightful owner of Cambodia.

I feel the same as you do, but I now fianlly realize that my people Khmers, many, are too evils no matter what.

Killing field in Cambodia was the hanoi's plan to change Cambodia to a Indochina confederation.hanoi secretly sent well trained viet speaking Cambodian working in Cambodia in every regime to topple the ruling government regardless what the regime was.One of Pol Pot's top adviser was vietnam secret agent named Son Sen and whose camouflaged himself as the minister of defense of Democratic of Cambodia.In 1998 son sen was Captured and got killed by pol pot.
In hun sen regime,Cambodia is totally controlling by hanoi via its secret agent whose they speak fluently Khmer language.
In Pol Pot regime there were around 600 Chinese expert working in Cambodia but with this fake government I heard there are more than 10,000 experts secret agents viet hiding behind hun sen.
hun sen he has head indeed but his head has no brain,he can not say or talk without hanoi secret agents permit.

If your theory were true, then it means that Pol Pot and his gangs who joined the communist party in France, then later in Vietnam, got played by the viet. History tells us that mr pol pot went to france as a student to study to be an engineer, but at some point he quit school and join the communist party in france. at around the same time, he went to vietnam to join communist group. he also traveled to communist china during that time. while i am not a historian, i believe there is some sort of connection between pol pot and the viet communist party in those days.
It was said that mr Son Sen and his whole family was murdered just a few weeks before pol pot's death in 1998? So why did pol pot kill mr son sen? If mr son sen is a viet communist, why did it take mr pol pot so long to realize that he himself got played by the viet? From my pointof view, i think mr pol pot decided to commit suicide in the end because he had realized that he got played by the viet and he didn't want to live to tell khmer people the story.

Where was the Human Right? Where were the UN and US? Where was the World compassion? Where was God? Where were you when we need you during the KR regime? I was there and watched the innocent Cambodian dying. I had only the questions without answers. How come the UN, US just show after the Vietnamese invaded and liberated the Cambodians from the bloody hand of Khmer Rouge?? Until now I still can not get the right answers!!
