  • Khmer Rouge trial is failing Cambodian victims of Pol Pot’s regime

    Khmer Rouge trial is failing Cambodian victims of Pol Pot’s regime

    At a conference on Cambodia in Berkeley last week, an elderly Khmer man tearfully explained to me why he won’t go back to his homeland. "How can I go there and have any peace so long as the people who killed all of my family are still free?" The extraordinary chambers of the courts of Cambodia (ECCC), set up by the Cambodian government and the United Nations, were supposed to ease his way home. But after five years and more than $150m (£96m), the court has tried just one defendant, Kaing Guek Eav (alias Duch), the warden of the infamous Tuol Sleng detention centre where approximately 14,000 people were tortured and then executed. Repentant, Duch confessed and was convicted of crimes against humanity.
