Two senior leaders of the Khmer Rouge were found guilty of war crimes today, thirty five years after being deposed from power. Two million Cambodians died. What happened to the rest of those guilty for crimes against humanity, war crimes, torture, and mass murder? The answer: They are back in power.--welcomed back into mainstream Cambodian political society. The UN tribunal In Cambodia is nothing more than a stamp of approval of a modern era Stalinist political show trial. I will have much more to say about this assault on the dignity of international law soon....
