Searching for justice in Cambodia

"I can't worry about justice for these people (former members of Khmer Rouge).  I have to try and live a good life now and be a good Buddhist so that in the next life I have a better chance and have good things happen to me then."

That is what a Cambodian woman said to Amanda Pike, a journalist investigating the genocide alleged to have been committed by Khmer Rouge security forces during the Vietnam War, and why crimes against humanity trials have not materialized in the country.

A very good Frontline/World piece is available here in streaming video.

Amanda Pike spoke before the Los Angeles World Affairs Council on February 19, 2003. The transcript is here.
