January 18, 1999, Gail G. Billington of EIR's Asia Desk and Dino de Paoli of the international Schiller Institute interviewed Cambodia's Prime Minister Samdech Hun Sen at his residence outside the capital, Phnom Penh. The interview occurred
on the same day that the Cambodia Daily reported on an earlier interview that the Prime Minister gave to Agence France Presse and the Paris daily Le Monde, in which he outlined his proposal regarding an international tribunal to investigate crimes against humanity in Cambodia. Samdech Hun Sen's proposal calls for a full investigation of three phases of Cambodia's civil war, beginning with the 1970-75 carpet bombings by U.S. B-52s, which killed an estimated 500,000 to 1 million people; 1975-79, the four murderous "Killing Field" years of the Khmer Rouge government, when 1.7 million of Cambodia's 7.5 million population died; and 1979-98, the overthrow of the Khmer Rouge through the 1991 Paris Peace Accords and the UN-monitored peace, to the July
1997 aborted coup attempt by the combined forces of Prince Norodom Ranariddh and the Khmer Rouge, to the racist violence instigated by the "democratic" opposition to Hun Sen following the July 1998 general elections.
