Victory over Genocide Day

On January 7, 1979 the Vietnamese overthrew the Khmer Rouge regime and the peoples of Cambodia walked towards healing and away from the horrific rule of Pol Pot. Almost 30 years later those most responsible for the genocide are finally being tried. These criminals have lived without accountability for their actions for the past 30 years. 

The Khmer Rouge Trials are still in process. It may be years before they finish. Delayed as they are, the fact that the trials are taking place is a cause worth celebrating. Happy Victory Day.
