  • Terrorism in Southeast Asia
    Order Code RL31672 CRS Report for Congress Received through the CRS Web Terrorism in Southeast Asia Updated November 18, 2003 Mark Manyin Coordinator Richard Cronin, Larry Niksch, Bruce Vaughn Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division Congressional Research Service ˜ The Library of Congress Terrorism in Southeast Asia Summary Following the defeat of the Taliban regime in Afghanistan, U.S. attention turned to radical Islamist groups in Southeast Asia, particularly those in the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore that are known or alleged to have ties to the Al Qaeda terrorist network. For more than a decade, Al Qaeda has penetrated the region by establishing local cells, training Southeast Asians in its camps in Afghanistan, and by financing and cooperating with indigenous radical Islamist groups. Indonesia and the southern Philippines have been particularly vulnerable to penetration by anti- American Islamic terrorist groups. Members of one indigenous Al Qaeda affiliate, Jemaah Islamiyah, is known to have assisted two of Al Qaeda’s September 11, 2001 hijackers and have confessed to plotting and carrying out attacks against Western targets, including the October 12, 2002 bombing in Bali, Indonesia that killed approximately 200 people, mostly Western tourists. The Bali attack signalled a shift in Jemaah Islamiyah’s tactics, from targeting Western military and government installations to focusing on “softer” targets such as tourist resorts, Western business, and schools serving Westerners. The August 2003 bombing of the J.W. Marriott Hotel in Jakarta, thought to be carried out by Jemaah Islamiyah, appears to fit this pattern. Arrests in Thailand and Cambodia in the spring and summer of 2003 may indicate that the network has established and/or stepped up operations in those countries, as well as Laos and Burma.

  • Cambodia: Background and U.S
    Order Code RL32986 CRS Report for Congress Received through the CRS Web Cambodia: Background and U.S. Relations July 8, 2005 Thomas Lum Asian Affairs Specialist Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division Congressional Research Service ˜ The Library of Congress Cambodia: Background and U.S. Relations Summary Cambodia has made some notable progress, with foreign assistance, in developing its economy, nurturing a civil society, and holding elections that are at least procedurally democratic. A number of significant problems remain, however. Weak legal and financial institutions, corruption, political violence, and the authoritarian tendencies of the Cambodian Prime Minister, Hun Sen, have discouraged foreign investment and strained U.S.-Cambodian relations. U.S. interests in Cambodia include human rights, foreign assistance, trade, and counter terrorism. Several current measures by the United States government reflect human rights concerns in Cambodia. Since 1998, foreign operations appropriations legislation has barred assistance to the Central Government of Cambodia in response to Prime Minister Hun Sen’s seizure of power in 1997 and sporadic political violence against the opposition. The United States has also withheld assistance to the Khmer Rouge tribunal unless standards of judicial independence and fairness are met. Despite these restrictions, Cambodia remains the third largest recipient of United States assistance in Southeast Asia after Indonesia and the Philippines. S.Res. 65would call upon the Government of Cambodia to release Member of Parliament Cheam Channy from prison and to restore the immunity from prosecution of opposition parliamentarians. In 2005, the State Department placed Cambodia in Tier 3 as a country that had not made adequate efforts to eliminate trafficking in persons.

  • 1 Chilling Evidence in Khmer Rouge Trial Luke Hunt August 29, 2012 Chilling Evidence Surrounding the Barbarity of the Khmer Roug
    Chilling Evidence in Khmer Rouge Trial Luke Hunt August 29, 2012 Chilling evidence surrounding the barbarity of the Khmer Rouge leadership continues to mount at the Extraordinary Chambers for the Courts in Cambodia where three of Pol Pot’s senior henchmen – Nuon Chea, Khieu Samphan, and Ieng Sary -- are back before a bench of local and international judges. This time the evidence was delivered by 61-year-old Em Ouen who worked as a medic during 1977 and 1978 and testified he had seen live humans being used for medical experiments, instead of corpses, while in Sector 20, a Khmer Rouge provincial base at Prey Veng southeast of Phnom Penh. He described how, as a trainee, he was forced to stand and watch as fingers and limbs were amputated saying, “And the whole body would be chopped or operated and cut into pieces and put into a bag to be discarded.” His testimony earned the Khmer Rouge, who reigned over Cambodia from 1975 to 1979, comparisons with Nazi Germany and the Holocaust or Japanese medical experiments carried out on Chinese prisoners during World War II, among long-time observers and in the local media. Em Oeun’s father was a doctor and he had learned enough about medicine while growing-up to make himself useful to local Khmer Rouge, which sent him to work in a hospital and then onto Phnom Penh where he was taught some medical basics. In the capital, medicine was in short supply and had been scavenged from deserted pharmacies after the city was evacuated by the ultra-Maoists with the population forced into labor camps in the country-side where Pol Pot claimed he was building an agrarian utopia.

  • KRT TRIAL MONITOR Case 002 ! Issue No
    KRT TRIAL MONITOR Case 002 ! Issue No. 41 ! Hearing on Evidence Week 36 ! 22-25 October 2012 Case of Nuon Chea, Khieu Samphan and Ieng Sary Asian International Justice Initiative (AIJI), a project of East-West Center and UC Berkeley War Crimes Studies Center I have been living in the society where I have had a lot of suffering! I had been deprived of all my education, the dreams that I would like to be highly educated. But these dreams were destroyed by the darkest period of the Khmer Rouge. - Yim Sovann, Civil Party * I. OVERVIEW This week, the Trial Chamber heard testimonies from three Civil Parties and two witnesses. The testimonies mainly focused on experiences during the evacuation of Phnom Penh, as well as the tough conditions immediately following the first evacuation. The testimonies also touched on the treatment of Lon Nol soldiers and hospital patients during the first evacuation. The Chamber heard legal arguments and issued two important rulings this week: First, the Court ruled that Civil Parties may state the suffering they endured during the entire Democratic Kampuchea regime, instead of having Civil Parties limit their statements to those relevant to events covered in Trial One of Case 002. Second, the Chamber ruled that Parties may not question witnesses based on expert witness analysis, if that expert has yet to appear before the Court. II. SUMMARY OF CIVIL PARTY AND WITNESS TESTIMONIES The Chamber heard a statement about the suffering of Ms. Yim Sovann, who was examined by Parties the previous week.1 Two new Civil Parties, Mr.

  • How to Support Democracy and Human Rights in Asia by Michael Fuchs September 16, 2019
    How to Support Democracy and Human Rights in Asia By Michael Fuchs September 16, 2019 There is a growing struggle in Asia between authoritarian forces and the people attempting to stand up for human rights and democracy. From the crackdown on mass protests in Hong Kong, to genocide in Myanmar, to extrajudicial killings and attacks on government critics in the Philippines, to the detention of more than 1 million Uighur Muslims in concentration camps in western China, the situation can appear bleak. While these and other abuses of power playing out across Asia are not unique to the region, the continued deterioration of human rights and democracy in Asia could have disastrous consequences, not only for the region but also for the United States. Faced with mounting challenges to universal rights in Asia, U.S. policymakers often have difficult decisions to make: What tools can the United States deploy to amelio- rate the situation? How can U.S. action tangibly support human rights? As daunting as these challenges are, the United States must stick to its principles to support human rights and democracy and the peaceful resolution of disputes. To do so, the United States must pursue immediate and long-term policies that increase the likelihood of governments respecting the rights of their people. Troubling times across Asia In the second half of the 20th century, hundreds of millions of people benefited from the democratization processes across Asia. The United States did much to sup- port this trend over the past few decades, from helping to democratize Japan in the wake of World War II1 to providing assistance to countries, such as Indonesia and the Philippines, that have transitioned to democratic forms of governance in more recent years.2 Yet autocratic governments still rule billions of people in Asia.

  • Untangling the Terror Web: the Need for a Strategic Understanding of The
    MENU Policy Analysis / Congressional Testimony Untangling the Terror Web: The Need for a Strategic Understanding of the Crossover between International Terrorist Groups to Successfully Prosecute the War on Terror by Matthew Levitt Oct 22, 2003 ABOUT THE AUTHORS Matthew Levitt Matthew Levitt is the Fromer-Wexler Fellow and director of the Reinhard Program on Counterterrorism and Intelligence at The Washington Institute. Articles & Testimony Testimony before the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs I. Introduction: Networks and Relationships Pundits and politicians alike tend to think of the war on terror against al-Qaeda as a completely disparate phenomenon from the battle against other terrorist groups. This is, in part, a logical supposition as groups like Hamas and Hezbollah do not belong to the more tight knit family of al-Qaeda-associated terrorist groups. Hezbollah and Palestinian terrorist groups do not conduct joint operational activity with al-Qaeda, and despite some ad hoc cooperation and personal relationships they have no official or institutional links. Nonetheless, these groups are no less benign for their independence from al-Qaeda. Indeed, failure to attack the phenomenon of international terrorism as one issue, as opposed to breaking it up into its component parts, group by group, undermines the overall strength and effectiveness of the war on terror. Networks and relationships best describe the current state of international terrorism. This matrix of relationships between terrorists who belong to one or another group is what makes the threat of international terrorism so dangerous today. For example, while there are no known headquarters-to-headquarters links between al-Qaeda and Hezbollah, the two groups are known to have held senior level meetings over the past decade and to maintain ad hoc, person-to-person ties in the areas of training and logistical support activities.

  • Cambodia: When Clouds Fell | the Diplomat
    4/13/2015 Cambodia: When Clouds Fell | The Diplomat Image Credit: John Vink Cambodia: When Clouds Fell Cambodian politics, tragedy and a victim’s confrontation with Pol Pot’s surviving henchmen. By Luke Hunt March 06, 2015 Journalist Robert Carmichael, author of When Clouds Fell from the Sky, didn’t think he’d spend eight of the last 14 years in Cambodia, where he has worked covering political ructions, postwar reconstruction and the Khmer Rouge Tribunal for a wider, international audience. But the South African’s fascination with how war-torn countries deal with the ghosts of their past and the lure of a country that still lives up to its reputation as an exotic Southeast Asian destination helped sustain Carmichael’s curiosity, resulting in his first book. “I’m interested in what post-atrocity nations do to move beyond their past. That question forms one trajectory of my book. Cambodia, for instance, opted for a judicial process but has done little to bring about reconciliation,” the 45-year-old said. The book delivers the tragic tale of a French mother and daughter and their search for Ouk Ket – their husband and father — who vanished almost immediately after returning to Pol Pot’s Cambodia in 1977 — and a Cold War history lesson that’s worth re-telling, particularly to younger audiences. It’s also timely given upcoming commemorations in April marking the 40th anniversary of the Khmer Rouge takeover of Cambodia, and the unfolding drama at the Khmer Rouge Tribunal where charges of genocide are being heard against senior cadres Nuon Chea and Khieu Samphan and fresh charges have been laid against lower http://thediplomat.com/2015/03/cambodia-when-clouds-fell/ 1/3 4/13/2015 Cambodia: When Clouds Fell | The Diplomat ranking cadre.

  • President's Report
    2006–2008 President’s Report president’s message As Pensacola Junior College observes its 60th anniversary, we will be celebrating progress in many areas. Looking over the past two years, I think our founding leaders would be proud of our recent accomplishments. More than 37 percent of all students who graduate from Escambia and Santa Rosa high schools are attending PJC.This is a record number of first-time students choosing PJC and an affirmation that our distinguished faculty and quality programs are being recognized for their excellence. Our Dual Enrollment program that allows high school students early admission to PJC has been growing by leaps and bounds. In May 2008, a record number of 60 dual enrollment students are receiving their associate’s degree from PJC before receiving their high school diplomas. PJC’s Adult High School, already the best in the state, is benefiting from high-tech facilities in the new Hobbs Center for Teaching Excellence, thanks to a recent $1 million gift. In partnership with Habitat for Humanity, our construction programs have secured federal grants to provide valuable career training and practical experience for many students who could not otherwise attend college. Our state-of-the-art Smart Center for Patient Simulation, the envy of many medical colleges, was chosen by Harvard Center for Medical Simulation faculty as the site for a three-day workshop in May 2007. We recently began a partnership with the Bay Area Chamber of Commerce to encourage new businesses and entrepreneurial ventures. Our Downtown Center will house the New Business Incubator and our faculty will assist when needed.
