An Article from Time.com informs us of the open wounds on the land of Cambodia,

After Cambodia appealed for international assistance in setting up a genocide tribunal in 1997, it took another nine years of governmental foot-dragging and tortuous negotiations with the United Nations over the shape and structure of the court before prosecutors and judges were sworn in last July. Since then, the proceedings have encountered months of legal wrangling and administrative delays, leading to concerns that the few surviving Khmer Rouge leaders could die of old age before being brought to justice.

This month, however, seems to mark a point of no return. On July 18, prosecutors submitted the names of five possible suspects to the court’s investigating judges. That list has not been released to the public, though it’s widely assumed to consist of elderly regime leaders like Nuon Chea, who have lived in quiet retirement since abandoning their movement in the late 1990s after reaching a peace deal with the government.

During the 2006 Cambodia Missions trip, we were told of this story with a bit more background information.

Kang Kek Iev, 63, known as Duch when he headed the S-21 torture center in Phnom Penh where thousands were imprisoned and executed, is the sole regime member in prison. Now a born-again Christian, Duch has been held in pre-trial detention since 1999 after being discovered working for a local humanitarian organization.

There is still much more work to be done. There is so much space and potential for God to work with. If only we commit and believe in God to do the work, we can serve as vessels for His love to the people of Cambodia.
