Summary
|
Chhim Samnang, male, aged 49, was born in Thma Puon Kandal village, Chrey Vien sub-district, Prey Chhor district, Kampong Cham province. When he was a child, Samnang studied until grade 7 [in the old system]. He then dropped out of school because there was a 1970 coup to depose King Sihanouk. After leaving school, he came to help his parents in rice field. It was in 1974 that Samnang along with his friends, Meng, Bun and Sovann joined the revolution. When first joining the revolution, he was assigned to Kampong Cham province. He was then sent to Prey Torting to make a war with Lon Nol soldiers. At that time, even having less war materials that were not modern, Khmer Rouge soldiers still had a better condition than Lon Nol soldiers. This was because of their patriotic spirits. The Khmer Rouge soldiers always kept fighting forward across Vihear Suor until marching into Phnom Penh in 1975. At that time, the chief of the division was Oeun and the chief of the regiment was Sy. When arriving in Phnom Penh, Samnang told people to get out of their houses following Angkar៌s order. After the people were evacuated, Phnom Penh was quiet. It was seen that there were no longer vehicles, motorbikes, and cyclo. There were only Khmer Rouge soldiers and cadres living in this city. After staying in Phnom Penh for only three months, Angkar selected 500 soldiers for Division 310 to be sent to work in Kampong Som Port. People who were illiterate were assigned to carry things while literate people were written in a list and sent to the warehouse. The chiefs of the Port were Tit and Krin. At that time, there were 7000 workers both men and women in Kampong Som Port. At that time, it was seen that there were only Chinese ships importing cloth, vehicles, and weapons and so on while our country exported to Chinese ships such as rubbers, kapok, rice, beans, and wild animals and so on. It was in 1977 that Samnang was sent back to Phnom Penh, staying near Wat Sleng, Department 870 that was also the tempering place like prisoners because Angkar, at that time, accused region 42 of being traitors. In 1979, Samnang ran following his unit across the forest that he almost died because of starvation until arriving in Koh Kong province. He then ran until Somlot because of being afraid of Vietnamese soldiers. It was in 1980 that Samnang decided to return to his home village and got married to a wife named Sokhom. Nowadays, Samnang has got 8 children, earning for a living as a farmer.

The Prevention and Punishment of the Crimes of Genocide
By Youk Chhang
The Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide stands alongside the Universal Declaration of Human Rights as one of the key pillars of international human rights law, and for this Human Rights Day in 2022, I want to highlight the critical importance of the responsibility to prevent atrocity crimes, which includes genocide. When atrocity crimes occur, there is an immediate need to stop these atrocious acts, followed by the equally urgent tasks of documenting, investigating, and ultimately prosecuting the perpetrators. However, from 1948 to today, we have not given enough attention to true prevention.
Atrocity crimes do not occur in a vacuum. There is a long chain of events and conditions that precede atrocity crimes. Isolation, segregation, and discrimination frequently, if not always, precede the rationalization of atrocity crimes against a group of people. And before people are discriminated against, they must be dehumanized. The process of dehumanization depends upon rationalizing hatred and distrust, and these processes are precipitated by misinformation, fueled by uninformed biases, stereotypes, and exploitative actors. They are also frequently dependent upon the disintegration, corruption, or lack of development of critical institutions, in particular institutions dedicated to dialogue and education. It is here that we must dedicate our greatest attention.
Since 1948, we have made great strides toward taking actions that interrupt, mitigate, and to a very limited extent, punish the chief perpetrators of atrocity crimes; however, these actions are not preventative but reactive in nature. No atrocities crime trial has ever prevented the next genocide, and no sanctions or punishment can bring back the dead or undo the trauma that extends across multiple generations. Indeed, the trauma of atrocity crimes in the distant past are often the forgotten seeds for the next wave of violence and inhumanity of the future.
If we are to truly adopt strategies that are effective, far reaching, and decisive in preventing atrocity crimes, then our priorities must be re-oriented to the opposite end of the spectrum, where the seeds of the next genocide are cultivated. Our responsibility in complying with foundational human rights documents should be measured not solely by our success at responding, investigating, and prosecuting atrocity crimes, but by our efforts in supporting institutions, initiatives, and actions that have a positive influence in preventing all forms of inhumanity. The most effective strategy at preventing the next genocide is centered on actions and policies that interrupt and reduce the risk of escalation at the earliest stages of inhumanity.
Cambodia recently removed human rights days from public calendars. I think we should reconsider this collective decision. Cambodia has achieved extraordinary success in its genocide education programme, which is the essence of atrocity crimes prevention. And so, to capitalize on this success and Cambodia’s regional and even global leadership in this area, we should hold an annual dialogue on the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. As the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC) closes its doors, there is no better time than now to preserve Cambodia’s leadership and momentum in realizing the core objectives of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide.
The Documentation Center of Cambodia (DC-Cam) is proud of the support it has given to the ECCC’s work, which was fundamental to giving victims an opportunity to participate in the justice process and realize some sense of closure from the Khmer Rouge genocide. DC-Cam is also eager to support an annual conference on the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. As we commemorate this Human Rights Day, we would be mindful to recognize our fundamental human rights documents are not only universal commitments, but also standards for evaluating the kind of world we are leaving for the next generation.

Photo above: Children at Angkor Wat, 1979. After the collapse of the Khmer Rouge regime on 7 January 1979, hundreds of thousands of children were left orphaned. From 1975 to 1979, the Khmer Rouge led Cambodia into tragedy causing the deaths of over 2 million people. Although two millions were killed, five millions more survived to tell their story. The perpetrators of these crimes also survived. Photo: Documentation Center of Cambodia Archives.
