Response To The Cambodian Genocide

Satisfactory Essays

The response to the Cambodian genocide did not result in the assistance of ending the horror but rather was not dealt with. Some foreign journalist wrote about the atrocities of what was occurring in the beginning. This led the Khmer Rouge to seal off Cambodia from the rest of the world, although some of the terror was still being revealed. People who interview refugees in Thailand were able to get shine light into the situation with stories of starvation, disease, and mass executions. Eventually, the United States denounced all the things that the Khmer Rouge was doing. Many people in the south of Asia, however, did not believe all of what the United States said the Khmer Rouge was doing and thought they were trying to dramatize the situation.
