OVERVIEW In the first week of trial proceedings in 2013, the Chamber heard the testimony of three witnesses, Sa Vi, Ung Ren, and Chhaom Se. All three witnesses were Khmer Rouge soldiers, and each discussed his experiences prior to and during the fall of Phnom Penh in April 1975. They also described their assignments during the period of Democratic Kampuchea: Sa Vi worked as a guard at K-1, the permanent residence of Pol Pot, while Ung Ren and Chhaom Se were both deployed to the country’s Northeast as soldiers within Division 801, where the latter worked as the director of Au Kanseng Security Center. Few objections were raised during the questioning of the witnesses. Legal and procedural issues this week concerned the Prosecution’s use of questions outside the scope of Case 002/01 and the standards of OCIJ’s investigations, especially with regard to the interviews of Witness Ung Ren. The Trial Chamber also annouced that it would defer summoning TCCP- 94, after it was revealed that the Civil Party did not have any personal knowledge on the evacuation of Phnom Penh.

The project is financed by the German Foundation for Peace Research and is located at the Institute for Development and Peace at the University of Duisburg-Essen. The project aims at explaining different levels of youth violence in two post-war societies whose processes of war termination are regarded as successful. However, both societies face serious problems of post-war development that are closely related to the experiences of war and war termination. While Cambodia’s democratisation process is considered more or less as a failure, Guatemala suffers from levels of violence higher than during most of the war.

Exactly one year later, that country's ruler. Prince Norodom Sihanouk, was overthrown and the Vietnam War, com bined with a new civil war, to tear the nation apart for the next five years. The United States bombing of the countryside continued (now publicly) and increased from 1970 to August 1973. when Congress imposed a halt. Nearly half of the US bom bing tonnage was dropped in the last six months. The total was 540,000 tons. Rural Cambodia was destroyed, and 'Democratic Kampuchea' rose in its ashes. The emergent Communist Party of Kampuchea (CPK) regime, led by Pol Pot, had profited greatly from the U.S.

    PRE-FEASIBILITY STUDY ON THE HIGH PRIORITY PROJECTS Final Report Summary The Study on the Road Network Development in the Kingdom of Cambodia October 2006 CHAPTER 1 HIGH PRIORITY PROJECTS FOR PRE-FEASIBILITY STUDY 1.1 Short Term Projects in Master Plan To establish a realistic and effective implementation program, the Study team adopted the basic concept for an implementation program of the Master Plan as follows: (1) On-going projects should be completed in the short-term plan National road, especially 1 and 2-Digit roads are very important road network forming the national and regional economy, therefore, all the on-going rehabilitation projects related for 1-Digit and 2-Digit roads being implemented or committed by international funding agencies and donors shall be completed in the short term plan. (2) Access to the provincial capital should be improved as soon as possible Taking into consideration an importance of administration services by government to rural areas, 2-Digit roads linking to provincial capitals with a poor condition should be improved as early as possible either in short-term or medium-term plan. (3) Implementation of Urgent Bridge Rehabilitation Program Although most of 1-Digit and some important 2-Digit roads have already been rehabilitated, many of temporary bridges are still left behind in narrow and poor conditions in the completed sections of 1-Digit and 2-Digit roads. The rehabilitation of these temporary bridges are included as a part of upgrading works in the master plan, however, upgrading of these roads are planned in the medium-term of long term plan.

    Preface We, member of Cambodia Children and Young People Movement for Child Rights ( CCYMCR ) facilitated by Child Rights Foundation, are pleased inform you‐adults, and boys and girls who are working for the best interests of children and youth‐ that we have noticed that there are a significant number of organizations, associations, groups or clubs led by children and youth across Cambodia. We first published a directory in 2005. As a result, we had learned that there were 217 child or youth‐led organizations and clubs. We second published a directory in 2006. We had learned that there were 290 child or youth‐led organizations and clubs across Cambodia. However, we were not sure whether the number of these organizations, associations, groups and children and youth clubs was increasing or decreasing in 2010. In respond to lack of the above information, we have redone a research to find out the clear‐ structured organizations and children and youth clubs led by children and youth under 24 years of age, still in operation across Cambodia and having contact address in order to compile a directory of child and youth‐led organizations, associations, groups or clubs the third time. The result of this third research indicates that there are 717 organizations, associations, groups, children and youth clubs operating in Cambodia. CCYMCR will update this book in the coming year, and we do hope that children and youth clubs, which have not been listed in the book, will send us their information once the book is to compile again. The main objective of this research is to identify activities implemented by children or youth clubs so as to facilitate our future collaboration.

    Mosquitoes, Malaria, and Malarine: A Qualitative Study on Malaria Drug Use in Cambodia Linda Tawfik Printed September 2006 Rational Pharmaceutical Management Plus Center for Pharmaceutical Management Management Sciences for Health 4301 N. Fairfax Drive, Suite 400 Arlington, VA 22203 Phone: 703-524-6575 Fax: 703-524-7898 E-mail: [email protected] Strategic Objective 5 Mosquitoes, Malaria, and Malarine: A Qualitative Study on Malaria Drug Use in Cambodia This report was made possible through support provided by the U.S. Agency for International Development, under the terms of cooperative agreement number HRN-A-00-00-00016-00. The opinions expressed herein are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the U.S. Agency for International Development. About RPM Plus RPM Plus works in more than 20 developing and transitional countries to provide technical assistance to strengthen pharmaceutical and health commodity management systems. The program offers technical guidance and assists in strategy development and program implementation both in improving the availability of health commodities—pharmaceuticals, vaccines, supplies, and basic medical equipment—of assured quality for maternal and child health, HIV/AIDS, infectious diseases, and family planning, and in promoting the appropriate use of health commodities in the public and private sectors. Abstract In 2004 a qualitative study on anti-malaria drug use was conducted in two Cambodian border areas—Sampov Lun District in Battambang Province and Sala Krau/Pailin Districts in Pailin Province. The purpose was to explore why use of first-line treatment for malaria is sub-optimal. Findings focus on: (1) why providers do not always offer biological diagnosis, (2) why practitioners prescribe and dispense drugs other than first-line treatment for malaria, particularly Plasmodium falciparum, (3) reasons clients do not use or adhere to first-line treatment, and (4) other factors which have an impact on anti-malaria drug use.
