Khmer Rouge Tribunal Approved
Cambodia's parliament has ratified legislation to set up a UN-backed tribunal to put leaders of the murderous Khmer Rouge regime on trial.

The tribunal, which has been delayed by political infighting within Cambodia, will be the first chance for the regime's leaders to face justice. It will include Cambodians and foreigners, but still needs funding.

More than 1m Cambodians died from starvation, disease or execution under the Khmer Rouge's 1975-79 rule.

Cambodia's National Assembly voted by 107-0 to ratify the tribunal, which has been under discussion for more than five years.

Khmer Rouge Tribunal Approved....

2. Where's the tribunal for KIssenger war crimes against Cambodia?
More people were killed due to Kissenger and Company's war crimes in Cambodia than were killed due to the Khmer Rouge. The CIA ousted Sihanouk and paved the way for what was to come, by the way.
