communist Khmer Rouges took over the country that led to the slaughtering of over 2 million people. After four dark years, what’s left was a civil war torn country that was left unstable throughout the 90’s with a corrupted Prime Minister name Hun Sen. Sen, a former Khmer Rouge led Cambodia as Prime Minister; Second to the King. On July 28th, 2013, it was the day of the elections where everything was set to change. The citizens that represented Cambodia went to the polls and voted. For some people

War, genocide, and a violent coup during the late 20th century left Cambodia decimated and controlled by a corrupt dictatorship under Prime Minister Hun Sen. Sen led the Cambodian People’s Party (CPP) in the aftermath of these bloody conflicts, and has served as Prime Minister for over 30 years through unfair and illegal means. Hun Sen wields violence and intimidation to keep his people from rising up against him.  Also, the CPP has inflicted thousands of civilian deaths and withheld billions of

Cambodia has a significant amount of land (176,515 sq km) but also maintains a large population so development when it comes to land is unlikely, unless the government was able to acquire land from nearby territories. With Prime Minister Hun Sen having been in power since 1998 and there being a significant amount of political unrest prior to that, it appears as if there is a need for further governmental development to better relate to the people who live in Cambodia.

That is why the country is still corrupt today because the two-decade old prime minister Hun Sen was an ex-Khmer Rouge Soldier. The Khmer Rouge group was created in the 1940s, but it was during the Vietnam War that the KR gained more power and became more prominent. The Khmer Rouge is an off-shot from the North Vietnamese government and essentially

The Khmer Rouge Tribunal: Difficulties By the time the Khmer Rouge regime was ousted from power in 1979, the United Nations Human Rights Commission had already received a 995-page report of testimonies on massive human rights violations in Democratic Kampuchea . The gravity of the crimes perpetrated was so great that the need for a judicial instance to render justice seemed evident. According to Francis Deron, the proposal for a Khmer Rouge Tribunal had significant historical importance as it was

However, the Cambodian government is not making an effort to recognize the negative occurrences that have posed itself in the history of their culture. After the Pol Pot invasion ended and Cambodian began to heal from its past, Prime Minister Hun Sen came into power. He conducted a socialist-democratic government in Cambodia from 1989 to 1993. During his time in office, he offered the remaining Khmer Rouge exemption from persecution, given that they make a public request for forgiveness and agreed

Cambodian society is still affected by almost three decades of civil war that devastated the country physically and psychologically, and faces high levels of poverty and poor development indicators (Malena and Chhim 2009). Whereas considerable progress has been made since the Peace Agreements in 1991, Cambodia’s recent past has shaped its contemporary political, cultural, and socio-economic context. The characteristics of these dimensions have contributed to the poor governance of the Cambodian administration

T By July 1992, the Khmer Rouge regime had taken a stance of “non-cooperation”, thus causing no PDK forces to be demobilized. Initially, the regime was on board for the disarmament process and agreed to allow UN forces to mark minefields and enter UN vehicles and troops into the area. However, once the process began and outside forces were to move in, the regime refused to allow the Dutch and Pakistani forces into the area. The situation was made more stressful by the PDK 's refusal, as demobilization

A quote that talks about the Huns themselves from the Roman historian Ammianus, The nation of the Huns… surpasses all other Barbarians in wildness of life…though they have they all have strong limbs and plump necks; they are of great size, and low legged, so that you might fancy them two-legged beasts, or the fat figures that are carved in a rude manner with an axe at the posts at the end of bridges… (Ammianus, Rome and Her Enemies, page 288) The Huns and other Germanic

developed as a whole. Some of these powerful influences include the Huns, Ottomans, and Austrians. These three forces left their mark on Europe, once they were no more. Whether it is military tactics, or political ideas, without them Europe wouldn’t be what it is today. So who really were the Huns, the Ottomans, and the Austrians? What made them so powerful that they influenced Europe’s course in history as a whole? The earliest were the Huns, one of the most feared groups in all of history. They were
