“I was the president of the National Assembly,” he said. “How could I work for the military?”
Jailed Khmer Rouge leader Nuon Chea was given the right to order killings under the regime’s policies, a tribunal prosecutor told the court Thursday.
Dale Lysak, international deputy prosecutor for the UN-backed court, said documentation of the regime showed that the security committee, which included Nuon Chea and Pol Pot, decided on “all the killings.”
Nuon Chea, as he has done continuously during his atrocity crimes trial, denied the charges.
“I was the president of the National Assembly,” he said. “How could I work for the military?”
None of the three leaders currently on trial—Nuon Chea, Khieu Samphan or Ieng Sary—have taken responsibility for the 1.7 million or more deaths that took place under their leadership, despite a large body of evidence, research and scholarship.
Nuon Chea has so far been the only one of the three men willing to openly face the court, but he has spent much of his testimony issuing similar denials.
Citing international media reports, Lysak showed that Nuon Chea acted as leader of the Khmer Rouge at a time when Pol Pot was receiving medical treatment in China.
Nuon Chea said he wanted to see original documentation and hear recordings of his own voice before giving the accusations credence.

this court protect chea sim hun sen heng samrin, noun chea hero he know vietnam killers khmers peoples
of course, they were advised to deny it by their lawyers, but we all know the truth as evidential circumstance revealed, you know! they are all going to deny it as if the killing and destruction of cambodia never happened. well, deny only works with mental health, but for the court of law, you can't deny something with concrete evidence because the court of justice will see to it that they will pay the pride for what they did or what they allowed to take place in cambodia from 1975 to 1979, you know!
The Khmer Rouge Organization (Angkar-leu អង្គការលើ) baptized (Duch) instead of real names (Kaing Kek Ev) is not the revolutionary name as is commonly believed but rather to hide the truth.
The Khmer Rouge Organization (Angkar-leuអង្គការលើ) amplified, and broadcast advertising, the false name (Duch) as the scapegoat to launder their crime against humanity.
The false name (Duch) is copied and repeated Non- Stop by the global media to continue deceive the world and also to attack and dishonor real name famous (Duch) such that (Duch Sidim; Duch Kimhak; Sok Duch) and (Duch Som) grandfather's Ms.Theary Seng etc.
