Khmer Rouge Tribunal

The Khmer Rouge Tribunal is a court established to bring justice for atrocities committed in Cambodia between 1975 and 1979 when the Khmer Rouge regime caused the deaths of over a million people. It is a hybrid court combining Cambodian and international judges and lawyers. The tribunal aims to prosecute senior leaders responsible for crimes such as genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity. Its goal is to ensure accountability, uphold justice, and help Cambodia heal from its tragic past. The process balances legal procedures with efforts to promote national reconciliation and memory.
