Sophal Ear Escaping the Khmer Rouge

The Khmer Rouge in the Dock

The Khmer Rouge didn't believe in money.

And freedom from persecution from the Khmer Rouge.

And here is a picture of the Khmer Rouge.

The Khmer Rouge closes the doors to the outside world.

He was the first person to negotiate with the Khmer Rouge.

1. Reaffirms that the most serious human rights violations in Cambodia in recent history have been committed by the Khmer Rouge, and acknowledges that the final collapse of the Khmer Rouge and the continued efforts of the Government of Cambodia have paved the way for the restoration of peace, stability and national reconciliation in Cambodia and the investigation and prosecution of the leaders of the Khmer Rouge

And I got word last month that the complaint was officially accepted by the Khmer Rouge Tribunal.

Reaffirming that the most serious human rights violations in Cambodia in recent history have been committed by the Khmer Rouge, and acknowledging that the final collapse of the Khmer Rouge and the continued efforts of the Government of Cambodia have provided the basis for the restoration of peace and stability with the aim of achieving national reconciliation in Cambodia and the investigation and prosecution of the leaders of the Khmer Rouge,

Well to explain that, I've got a short video clip to explain the Khmer Rouge regime during 1975 and 1979.

The communist Khmer Rouge enters Phnom Penh to liberate their people from the encroaching conflict in Vietnam, and American bombing campaigns.

And my parents were told by the Khmer Rouge to evacuate the city because of impending American bombing for three days.

So the Khmer Rouge took us from a place called Pursat to Kaoh Tiev, which is across from the border from Vietnam.

The Committee noted in particular that Article 36(2) of the Constitution provides that Khmer citizens of either sex receive equal pay for equal work .

The United States and other western governments fueled Cambodia's civil war in the 1970's, then lent the Khmer Rouge legitimacy in the 1980's by insisting that they continue to occupy Cambodia's seat at the UN. If the Khmer Rouge trials are to proceed, donor countries must see the Extraordinary Chambers as a prudent investment toward a stable and productive Cambodia.

In the 1970s, under the Pol Pot regime, the Khmer Rouge killed over a million people, and they focused and targeted the elites and the intellectuals, the artists, the dancers.

Led by peasant born Pol Pot, the Khmer Rouge evacuates people to the countryside in order to create a rural communist utopia, much like Mao Tse tung's Cultural Revolution in China.

In Cambodia a rice book in Khmer was published, while in the Republic of Korea, the workshop on World Rice Economy under the World Trade Organization System was held in Seoul.

TED Fellow Sophal Ear shares the compelling story of his family's escape from Cambodia under the rule of the Khmer Rouge. He recounts his mother's cunning and determination to save her children.

Our more recent major support for and active role in the establishment of the Khmer Rouge trial in the former Democratic Kampuchea is further testimony of our deep commitment in that regard.

The formal decision to create a tribunal for the Khmer Rouge represents a major achievement after a decade of diplomatic effort. To implement it, however, a number of hurdles remain to be overcome.

Last year, the Khmer Rouge Tribunal, which the U.N. is helping Cambodia take on, started, and I decided that as a matter of record I should file a Civil Complaint with the Tribunal about my father's passing away.

Not even the pathetic remnant of the Khmer Rouge celebrates Pol Pot s memory. Yet, as Russia approaches the 60th anniversary of its victory over Nazi Germany, marking Stalin s role in that victory is proving to be damnably awkward.

My first experiences, though, did come from Cambodia, and at the time I remember first coming to Cambodia and there were, in 1994, still less than 10 attorneys in the country because the Khmer Rouge had killed them all.

One of my aunts has a strong opinion on the matter. Khmer Rouge soldiers beat her father to death, and she remembers being shot at for sport by communist cadres as she and dozens of other peasants scuttled up a mountainside.

In the area of establishing the rule of law, Japan, in cooperation with the Government of Cambodia, has taken the lead in setting up a tribunal to try members of the Khmer Rouge, with a contribution of over 20 million.

CAIRO Mass death sentences are usually associated with regimes like those of Adolf Hitler s Nazis or Pol Pot s Khmer Rouge. But Egypt s military rulers have now joined the ranks of such regimes, staging circus like trials in which the outcome is foreordained.

My family escaped the Khmer Rouge on April 17, 1975, the day they claimed victory. When my mother and I journeyed home to reunite with relatives who had survived the genocide, S 21 (also known as Tuol Sleng) was among our first stops.

He started, as I mentioned, to get in the room with evil, to not denounce, and became almost obsequious when he won the nickname Serbio, for instance, and even when he negotiated with the Khmer Rouge would black box what had occurred prior to entering the room.

WASHINGTON, DC Throughout history, mistreatment of minorities whether ethnic, religious, linguistic, cultural, regional, ideological, sexual, or other has fueled violence and devastated societies worldwide. Egregious cases in the last century include the Holocaust in Nazi Germany, the Khmer Rouge killing fields in Cambodia, and the genocide in Rwanda.

PHNOM PENH The appearance of the first former Khmer Rouge leader in a special hybrid court established in Cambodia to bring that movement s surviving leaders to justice provoked a question on which the tribunal s integrity will depend should an accused mass murderer be released from prison pending his trial?

A quarter of Cambodia's population of eight million was executed, starved to death, or succumbed to disease during the Khmer Rouge's rule from 1975 79. There has been no real trial, no truth commission, and no official acknowledgement of one of the most heinous crimes in human history.

The Khmer Rouge did wither away, and with it the lingering threat of renewed civil war. The Cambodian economy strongly supported in recent years by aid and investment from China has grown steadily (though it lags behind most of its regional neighbors, and concerns about corruption and political instability are preventing it from reaching its full potential).

Kaing Guek Eav, commonly known as Duch, presided over the deaths of more than 14,000 people at S 21, a former Phnom Penh high school turned into a torture center. He is one of five former senior Khmer Rouge leaders who will be made to answer for their roles during Pol Pot s genocide, in which an estimated 1.7 million Cambodians perished.

This poses a particular challenge in a country where lawyers were among the targets of genocidal violence, where few sitting judges possess formal legal training, and which has little tradition of judicial independence. There is thus concern that some in Cambodia's government which includes officials who once served under the Khmer Rouge will seek to hijack the trials for political ends.

Pol Pot died in 1998, but aging senior associates like Brother Number Two Nuon Chea and ex Khmer Rouge president Khieu Samphan live freely in Cambodia. With sufficient resources, and a determination not to compromise on quality, the Extraordinary Chambers can provide a measure of justice for the victims and an example of law's power to serve the public good.
