“House Resolution 533 is intended to help support democracy in Cambodia and prevent a new ``killing fields'' by serving as the first step to bringing the violent dictator and former Pol Pot trigger man, Hun Sen, to justice. This legislation urges the United States Government and other interested countries to create an appropriate international judicial tribunal for the indictment and trial of Hun Sen. For the past 20 years, since he was among a core group of former Khmer Rouge officials installed as leaders during the Vietnamese Communist occupation of Cambodia, Hun Sen has been at the center of massive violations of international human rights law, including murder, torture, and other widespread abuses of the Cambodian people. During the past month, Hun Sen's storm troopers have cracked down on nonviolent pro-democracy demonstrators, including students and Buddhist monks, and tens of thousands of ordinary people. There are numerous reports by United Nations human rights monitors describing shallow graves containing mutilated bodies with hands tied behind their backs, including some people who were known to have been arrested by Hun Sen's security forces.”
