Khmer Rouge Trials To Start

The Khmer Rouge Trials in Cambodia are ready to start. A panel of judges has approved the ground rules. After a delay of more than six months, the deal was reached in a week long meeting. The delay was caused by disagreements between local and UN-appointed legal officials. Trials will start in 2008, but the tribunal is expected to last for three years before the trials. No one has ever faced charges for as many as two million who were thought to have died during the four years of Khmer Rouge rule in the late 1970's.
