The United States supports for the trial of people who are responsible for the atrocities committed under Cambodia's Khmer Rouge regime, State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said Thursday.
"The U.S. strongly supports bringing to justice senior leaders responsible for the atrocities committed under the Khmer Rouge regime," McCormack told reporters.
"The department is currently reviewing all the facts about the tribunal and its operations, including whether or not it is capable of meeting international standards of justice prior to making a decision regarding funding," the spokesman said.
It was reported that five top officials of Cambodia's former Khmer Rouge regime have been arrested so far, with the first trials expected to begin in mid-2008. Millions of people died of starvation, disease and overwork, or were executed under the 1975-79 rule of the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia.
