On the occasion of the thirtieth anniversary of the genocide in Cambodia, on 17 April 2005, FIDH and its two member organisations in Cambodia, ADHOC and LICADHO, make public recommendations concerning the Khmer Rouge Tribunal and the International Criminal Court.

The Cambodian people want the perpetrators of international crimes committed in their country between 1975 and 1979 to be tried. The Cambodian people have a right to truth and justice. The question is whether the KRT will be able to meet those expectations.

In order to discuss these questions, last month, FIDH, ADHOC and LICADHO jointly organised a conference in Phnom Penh, which gathered together main civil society organisations in Cambodia and international experts. The recommendations made public today are largely based on the discussions which took place at that conference.
