Description The Khmer Rouge (KR) Communist insurgency ended in 1999 after a series of
defections, military defeats, and the capture of group leader Ta Mok. The US
State Department removed the group from the list of designated foreign terrorist
organizations in 1999. The Cambodian Government has been working on a draft law
for the United Nations to establish a court to try former KR for the deaths of
up to 2 million persons in Cambodia during the 1975-79 period.
Activities Former KR may engage in criminal-type activities, especially against Vietnamese
nationals.
