In the above-mentioned letters, the Government of the Republic of Viet-Nam submitted to the Commission for its consideration the documents which prove that Viet Cong spies, terrorists, saboteurs and armed elements have infiltrated into South Viet-Nam across the frontier between Laos and South Viet-Nam and the demilitarized zone. This infiltration is one of the main elements contributing to the guerrilla warfare now being carried on by the Viet Cong against the Government of the Republic of Viet-Nam in violation of the provisions of the Geneva cease-fire Agreement. 3. In view of the gravity of the situation, the Government of the Republic of Viet-Nam appeals to the International Commission and urges it, in keeping with its peace mission in Viet-Nam, to take the necessary action to stop this illegal infiltration by extending its control to the western part of the demilitarized zone and by exercising strict control along the frontier between Laos and South Viet-Nam. In order to assist the Commission in this important work and to prove once again its sincere desire to co-operate with the Commission in the accomplishment of its peace mission, the Government of the Republic of Viet-Nam is prepared to provide the Commission with helicopters to enable it to exercise systematic control of the Lao-South Viet-Nam frontier area and the western part of the demilitarized zone. k-.

Madame Tran Vi Permanent Obs to the United New Translated from French REPUBLIC OF VIET-NAM MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS Liaison Mission to the International Control Commission Saigon, 2k October 1961 SECRETARIAT OF THE INTERNATIONAL CONTROL COMMISSION Ho. U660/PDVN/CT/TD/2 I. The Liaison Mission to the International Control Commission (ICC) presents its compliments to the Secretariat of the ICC and has the honour to refer to letters Nos. 1196/DAP/C of 5 October 1961, 1296/HAP/C of 17 October 1961 and 1298/DAP/C of 18 October 1961 from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Viet-Nam, concerning the abduction of Colonel HOANG THUY NAM, Head of the Liaison Mission to the ICC, by armed members of the Viet Cong and requesting the ICC to make an immediate inquiry into this serious affair. II. In its letter No. 3/PA/DSG/61 of 18 October 1961, the ICC asked the Mission to furnish proof of its statements. The Government of the Republic of Viet-Nam deeply regrets the fact that the ICC waited seventeen days, until after the death of Colonel HOANG THUY HAM had been confirmed, merely to state that it was ready to consider the case, when the accurate information communicated to it would have been sufficient Justification for an inquiry. Nevertheless, the Government considers that a careful inquiry, however late it may be, should be made by the Commission in order to establish the guilt of the communist authorities of North Viet-Nam for the murder of Colonel HOANG THUY NAM and to investigate thoroughly the atrocities committed by the communists. -2- III. The abduction and murder of Colonel Nam constitute one of the most revolting acts of terrorism committed by the Viet Cong in South Viet-Nam. Previous acts have shown the utter savagery vith which the Hanoi authorities and their agents in the South intend to carry out their policy of terror and violence in order to strengthen the communist hold on South Viet-Nam. The Government of the Republic of Viet-Nam is convinced that Colonel Nam's case should not be regarded as an isolated instance, but as part of the far-reaching plan of subversion and terrorism deliberately adopted by the Hanoi authorities, a plan which, with this murder/ enters upon a new phase and which aims at taking over South Viet-Nam. This plan for the invasion and conquest of South Viet-Nam is a very serious threat to peace in South East Asia. The communist authorities of Hanoi reveal their intention to annihilate the Republic of Viet-Nam at all costs more blatantly every day. That intention was clearly set forth in a resolution adopted in September 1960 by the Lao-Dong Party,-' of which the Hanoi regime is merely a branch. In that resolution it was decided that the Party must stir up a revolution in order to overthrow the legal Government of the Republic of Viet-Nam and to "liberate the South" by all possible means, including the use of force. Since that date, the deliberate acts of terrorism and aggression committed against the people, the administration aad: -the army of the Republic of Viet-Nam have increased in number and grown more violent ,and brutal each day. Thus, to consider the murder of Colonel HOANG THUY NAM as an isolated __.;.

  • Plausible Denial: Eisenhower and the Dap Chhuon Coup”
    “Plausible Denial: Eisenhower and the Dap Chhuon Coup” William J. Rust Presented at the Annual Conference of the Society for Historians of American Foreign Relations San Diego, California, June 24, 2016 This paper, which is based on research for the book Eisenhower and Cambodia: Diplomacy, Covert Action, and the Origins of the Second Indochina War (University Press of Kentucky, 2016), discusses the failed attempt to overthrow neutralist prime minister Prince Norodom Sihanouk in 1959. More specifically, the paper presents new information and analysis about the origins of US involvement in plotting against Sihanouk and about the role of the US government in the botched attempt to topple him. The unsuccessful coup is significant for at least two reasons: One, US relations with Sihanouk were severely—if not fatally—damaged not only by the exposure of CIA involvement in the plot, but also by the failure of the US government to provide any explanation for agency operative Victor Matsui’s contacts with the rebels. Two, the unsuccessful coup was part of a larger pattern of counterproductive efforts by the Eisenhower administration to overthrow two other Southeast Asian neutralists: Prime Minister Souvanna Phouma of Laos and President Sukarno of Indonesia.1 Although a full discussion of the Eisenhower administration’s hostility toward neutralism in Southeast Asia is a topic beyond the scope of this paper, one can safely say that US relations with Sihanouk were not enhanced by a statement he made at the Asian- African Conference in Bandung in 1955: Cambodia had joined “the community of neutral nations.”2 1 The real trouble in US-Cambodia relations began in 1956, when Sihanouk made a “goodwill visit” to the Philippines.

This dissertation argues that recent moves by the Cambodian government to transform this site into an "historical-tourist area" is overwhelmingly dominated by commercial priorities. However, the tourism project simultaneously effects an historical narrative that inherits but transforms the government's historiographic endeavors that immediately followed Democratic Kampuchea's 1979 ousting.

  • Who Was a Mysterious Son Ngoc Minh

SLK v.2 [17] Who was a mysterious Son Ngoc Minh TOO many foreign experts on Cambodia’s History trying to find a needle that has been dropped into the bottom of South China Sea for many decades, but those who always claim that they are so expert on Khmer’s history as I already mentioned before and later, whose articles are full of craps. Even if a mysterious Son Ngoc Minh, whose real ID was a pure Yuon citizen, who was able to perfectly have himself disguised as the leader of Khmer Communist Party, had an secret drastic order from his master, Yuon Hanoi leaders, to woo and instigate the both ignorant Khmer Kandal and Khmer Krom peasants and farmer to support Vietminh to drive the murderous French colonialists out of Indochina: Yuon are super-atheists/Thmils but they came to create misfortune beliefs in order to leading Khmers away to be butchered easily. That is why there are Yuon ringleaders came to impersonate as Khmer Buddhist monks.1 Its leader was SON NGOC MINH (possibly a brother of the nationalist Son Ngoc Thanh), and a third of its leadership consisted of members of the ICP.2 As we will see as clear as a bright crystal of William Shawcross’ Destruction of Cambodia.

    APPROVED FOR RELEASE DATE: MAY 2007 Y . c DIRECTORATE OF INTELLIGENCE Intelligence Report Cornmanism and Cambodia (Refweme Title: ESA U LVl72) May 1972 " *' :: COMMUNISMAND CAMBODIA kEM0RANDUM -FOR RECIPIENTS This in-depth, background study of the development of communism in Cambodia indicates that over the past two-and-a-half decades this Hanoi-directed movqnent has built a more extensive political and military structure than has generally been appreciated. In particular, the training of large numbers of ethnic Khmers in North Vietnam, a phenomenon which came to light in early 1971, has given the Communists in Cambodia a respectable base on which to build. The study also finds that Hanoi, abundantly aware of the antipathy that most Cambodians feel towards Vietnamese, is giving the Khmer Communist (KC) Party an increased measure of autonomy, particularly at the local level; and that the XC political-military apparatus, backed by the power of the Vietnamese Communist Army, poses a serious threat to the Phnom Penh government. This study has profited'from <he assistance of a wide number of Cambodia specialists in the CIA, with Whom this study has been coordinated.

  • Writing the Postcolonial City: Phnom Penh and Modernity During Sangkum Reastr Niyum, 1955-1970
    Writing the Postcolonial City: Phnom Penh and Modernity during Sangkum Reastr Niyum, 1955-1970 by Siti Galang Keo A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Peter B. Zinoman, Chair Professor Kerwin Klein Professor Penelope Edwards Summer 2019 Abstract Writing the Postcolonial City: Phnom Penh and Modernity during Sangkum Reastr Niyum, 1955-1970 by Siti Galang Keo Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor Peter B. Zinoman, Chair This dissertation examines novels, essays, films and songs of the Sangkum Reastr Niyum period, 1955-1970, to explore the layers of meanings Cambodians held of Phnom Penh. After the Geneva Accords in 1954, Phnom Penh emerged as the capital city of a newly independent nation-state, the Kingdom of Cambodia. The city under French colonial rule was secondary to Hanoi and Saigon, but once Indochina dissolved, its population exponentially increased. Phnom Penh was at the center of Cambodia’s road networks, its banking system, and was home to the best universities and schools. The many jobs and opportunities attracted rural migrants to the city. The population boom was one of the many ways Phnom Penh transformed. Norodom Sihanouk, then the head of state, made Phnom Penh the epicenter of government modernization projects. Under his watch, the capital transformed from being a marshy, provincial hub into an exciting scene of cosmopolitan innovation. Urban Cambodians combined ideas from Le Corbusier with traditional Khmer architectural details to design their “modern” buildings.
