the last surviving leaders of the brutal regime that presided over the deaths of some two million cambodians i'm sorry kelly in berlin this is the day. with. those believed real good judgement to die in free schools great zero zero two is in the story gucci float in the world both extraordinary sharing where is in the courts of cambodia once they were all the commercial overthrown i was shocked and horrified by all that was hidden from. the torture centers killing fields every aspect of starvation there and forced labor the very force of marriage was the thing that the murder it's all on the record no cambodians no longer have to worry that that what they went through was in their imagination to me it might get people to come and i'm so happy i'm a victim of the kind i really wish i used to think there was no justice for me but now i see that justice will get close enough to believe it but the main. and also coming up on the program in california's wildfires hundreds are unaccounted for at least sixty are dead and that's just the human toll of the place . ok i hope you and quick if that's al

the vast bulk work cambodians.arges only refer to minorities, muslims and vietnamese, who were also targeted by the beverage. but there are also charges being heard today and be ruled on, on cries against humanity. so both of these men are serving life sentences go there are likely to be the very last verdict is in this very long and drawnout process that started more than 20 yea rs process that started more than 20 years ago. and so it will be a chance, i think i've cambodians and the rest of the world to take stock of this attempt at international justice. in a sense, this whole system of internationaljustice has been on trial as well, as it? it is an unusual form of international justice. they are all unique when you think of trials involving yugoslavia, rwanda, the international court. this is what the cambodian government insisted on, which it held technically under cambodian jurisdiction, but with parallel internationaljudges and cambodian ones. that has been dramatic because the cambodian government has effe

well this is a joint un cambodian trial this is the cambodian government is led by one cent who is a former middle level c'mere was contrary he did not want to trial and it took a lot of political will on the part of the un to come up with a compromise then you it was in the country there are all kinds of different compromises so it was it was a long slog but it was a very thorough one and the critics of the length i think should just read choice in the fact that now the record is straight there was witnesses corroborating every aspect of the starvation that in forced labor the rapes the forced marriages the the the murder it's all on the record now and that's that that's an incredible record tell us looking at today how much would you say that the country has been able to recover from the from the reign of terror and from the loss of millions of lives spent on even but. there is how there is there's a real strong cultural revival since the trial started you have a new awareness that this is what happened and when you think of. the number of of. of victims and the destruction of the

the cambodian government has contracted a chinese company to build this dam, and the company's name is sino hydro, and, you know, we've all been asking questions. why is sino hydro o interested in proceeding with this dam when two other companies have already, you know, previouslsly pupulled out o of the project?t? because they discovered through environmental impact assessment reports that they had conducted themselves that the dam was not economically viable. and i think onone of t the reass is that they will make money from the conontract from constructing this dam, andnd alo the dam will be built on a build transfer agreement. and according to the agreement, the dawill be transferred to the cambodian government after 40 years time. during that transfer, the dam will alreadydy have built upup so much sediment and silt, the cambodian government would actually inherit a dam that's no longer functioning in its proper placace. so i think that the answer for me is they want to access this place for the logging, for the mining, you know, for the minerals that they can find. so most of the

unfortunately the whole tribunal, a hybrid of cambodian and international law, has a limited mandate, by the cambodian government's refusal to allow more than a handful of senior leaders to be brought to trial. it has been a very drawnout and expensive process lasting about 20 yea rs expensive process lasting about 20 years from its beginning. but for those who suffered under the khmer rouge, at least seeing the details of these crimes documented and seeing some leaders held accountable will offer some kind of closure. we arejust seeing will offer some kind of closure. we are just seeing the tribunal in session on our screens. are just seeing the tribunal in session on our screens. just bring us session on our screens. just bring us up—to—date with some of the history. this was a group which ruled cambodia in the 1970s. left something like 2 million people dead. that is the best estimate. the numbers will never be known. it was a very extreme experiment and extraordinarily violent. the maoist group emerged in the 1960s. many of them had been european trained intellectuals who bought i

as more vietnamese, cambodian, lowland lao and mong refugees began to come to the u.s. so president jimmy carter raised the quota of incoming refugees to 14,000 people per month in 1979. and there remained a challenge of bringing these refugees to a level of self sufficiency. to meet these needs, congress passed a landmark piece of legislation. the refugee act of 1980. and this is really important. because it is the act under which we operate still today. it aimed to fix the inefficiencies of the resettlement program and it also maintained most of the pre-existing program but aimed to make it more permanent and stable. it capped refugees annual entries at 50,000, it committed new admissions procedures that facilitated the efficient resettlement of refugees. it provided long-term funding for refugee programs. so it was the first general refugee act. up until 1980, the united states had been under criticism for only helping people who were anti-communist. rather than people who really needed to be helped. refugee policy, critics argued, should not be driven by cold war ge

and they don't fit that narrow category of genocide, so what people often call the cambodian genocideuite narrow. the khmer rouge in their frenzied violence also specifically targeted minorities, who they saw as the enemy of the revolution, which is what the case relates to, the muslim chams and the vietnamese minority, tens of thousands of the were brutally killed. there were other cases of crimes against humanity also heard today in a trial that actually gone in two parts. these two senior leaders of the khmer rouge, nuon chea, number two in the organisation, are the only top leaders who have been able to be taken to trial right through to conviction. the others have either died before trial has happened or during the trials. and because they are so during the trials. and because they are so old, their trial was split in two. so they've already been found guilty of other crimes against humanity. this charge of genocide is included in another slate of charges relating to the massive violence and deaths of people that took place and they are also probably the very last convictions tha

it was absolute defiance of the interest of the cambodian people again and again they wouldn't do it.this almost indefensible according to all of the agreement they were not meant to be there either. in 1970 i served as an advisor with the south vietnamese army and i was there for one year and worked very much with the local people and the military folks who were part of what i was doing with them on security issues. but by the end of that time we made great strides and i can show you and tell you who felt we were effective at least in getting the communist control eliminated to some degree. progress is being made. we can now ride the roads believe it or not. and i think part of this tragedy is by the time we started to make the progress that needed to be made or achieve a more balanced outcome we ran out of time. the administrations and it was impacted greatly on that. progress is made. we could have been going successfully but there was no will to do that. it's almost impossible to judge the way the war goes and gets the same as the tet offensive was a military disaster that finishe
