Getting Away with Genocide?: Elusive Justice and the Khmer Rouge Tribunal

Front Cover
UNSW Press, 2005 - 327 pages
Twenty-five years after the overthrow of the Pol Pot regime, not one Khmer Rouge leader has stood in court to answer for their terrible crimes. Tom Fawthrop and Helen Jarvis show how governments that often speak the language of human rights shielded Pol Pot and his lieutenants from prosecution during the 1980s.
