Anthropological Witness: Lessons from the Khmer Rouge Tribunal (Cornell UP, 2022) tells the story of Alexander Laban Hinton's encounter with an accused architect of genocide and, more broadly, Hinton's attempt to navigate the promises and perils of expert testimony. In March 2016, Hinton served as an expert witness at the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia, an international tribunal established to try senior Khmer Rouge leaders for crimes committed during the 1975–79 Cambodian genocide. His testimony culminated in a direct exchange with Pol Pot's notorious right-hand man, Nuon Chea, who was engaged in genocide denial. Anthropological Witness looks at big questions about the ethical imperatives and epistemological assumptions involved in explanation and the role of the public scholar in addressing issues relating to truth, justice, social repair, and genocide. Hinton asks: Can scholars who serve as expert witnesses effectively contribute to international atrocity crimes tribunals where the focus is on legal guilt as opposed to academic explanation? What does the answer to this question say more generally about academia and the public sphere? At a time when the world faces a multitude of challenges, the answers Hinton provides to such questions about public scholarship are urgent.

Who was Nuon Chea? What does Buddhism have to do with Khmer Rouge ideology? Why did Sihanouk sever ties with the United States?   Time Period Covered 1963 - 1965 In this episode we explore the impact of the fateful year of 1963 in Cambodia, as well as the circumstances that the new Cambodian communist leadership were dealing with in the Vietnamese jungle. We also look at the difference between two influential future leaders of Democratic Kampuchea; Khieu Samphan and Nuon Chea, as they play quite different roles for the organisation. This episode also explores the relationship between Theravada Buddhist language, grammar and thought and the way this was utilised by the Khmer Rouge to transplant communist ideas into Cambodian minds. Finally, the episode concludes by explaining the reasons surrounding Sihanouk's distancing from the US and eventual cutting off of US aid and relations between the two countries.

How does the Communist Party of Kampuchea form? How does Saloth Sar become a married man and teacher? What are the consequences of Sihanouk's neutral foreign policy? Time Period Covered 1955-1960 As peace broke out over Cambodia in the wake of the First Indochina War, the fledgling communist movement had to learn to survive in a newly independent country under the rule of Prince Norodom Sihanouk. Numbers dwindling and unable to openly resist the government, the ‘revolutionary organisation', as they began calling themselves, found an avenue for recruits in the schools of Phnom Penh. The man who would become Pol Pot became a teacher. Meanwhile, in an attempt to navigate a neutral path for Cambodia in the Cold War era, Sihanouk opens relations with China as well as the United States. This agenda will have consequences, as the CIA begins trying to undermine his government and even seek his removal. The resulting “Bangkok Plot”, a series of conspiracies against him, will be explained. The Khmer Rouge, as Sihanouk had begun calling the communists in his country, will also meet to discuss a new kind of organisation - the Communist Party of Kampuchea. Saloth Sar, Nuon Chea and Ieng Sary will all find themselves in high-ranking positions as the seeds of their revolution are sewn.

De Rode Khmer, onder leiding van Pol Pot, eiste tussen 1975 en 1979 het leven van bijna twee miljoen Cambodjanen. Achter de dictator stond al die tijd een tweede man, Nuon Chea. In tegenstelling tot Pol Pot deed hij er alles aan om anoniem te blijven. In het boek ‘Uit de schaduw van Pol Pot’ dwing schrijver Michiel Kroesbergen Nuon Chea in het licht. Tijdens zijn reis door Zuidoost Azië wordt hij gegrepen door de geschiedenis van Cambodja. Kroesbergen volgt de rechtszaak tegen de kopstukken van de Rode Khmer vanaf de publieke tribune, luistert naar de getuigen en spit de Cambodjaanse archieven door. Aan de hand van getuigenverklaringen vertelt hij het verhaal van Nuon Chea. Zijn boek toont de nummer twee aan de wereld.

The Cambodian genocide (Khmer: ហាយនភាពខ្មែរ or ការប្រល័យពូជសាសន៍ខ្មែរ, French: Génocide cambodgien) was carried out by Khmer Rouge under the leadership of Pol Pot, who radically pushed Cambodia towards communism. The movement resulted in the deaths of approximately 1.5 to 2 million people from 1975 to 1979, nearly a quarter of Cambodia's 1975 population (c. 7.8 million) Pol Pot and Khmer Rouge had long been supported by the Communist Party of China (CPC) and Mao Zedong himself; it is estimated that at least 90% of the foreign aids to Khmer Rouge came from China, with 1975 alone seeing at least US$1 billion in interest-free economics and military aid and US$20 million gift from China. After seizing power in April 1975, the Khmer Rouge wanted to turn the country into a socialist agrarian republic, founded on the policies of ultra-Maoism and influenced by the Cultural Revolution. Pol Pot and other Khmer Rouge officials met with Mao Zedong in Beijing in June 1975, receiving approval and advice, while high-ranking CPC officials such as Zhang Chunqiao later visited Cambodia to offer help. In order to fulfill their goals, the Khmer Rouge emptied the cities and forced Cambodians to relocate to labor camps in the countryside, where mass executions, forced labor, physical abuse, malnutrition, and disease were prevalent. They also started the "Maha Lout Ploh", copying the "Great Leap Forward" of China which caused tens of millions of death in the Great Chinese Famine. In 1976, the Khmer Rouge changed the name of the country to Democratic Kampuchea. By January 1979, approximately 2 million people died due to the policies of Khmer Rouge, including 200-300 thousand Chinese Cambodians, 90 thousand Muslims, and 20 thousand Vietnamese Cambodians. Some 20,000 people passed through the Security Prison 21, one of the 196 prisons operated by the Khmer Rouge, and only 7 adults survived. The prisoners were taken to the Killing Fields, where they were executed (often with pickaxes in order to save bullets) and buried in mass graves. The abduction and indoctrination of children was widespread, and many were persuaded or forced to commit atrocities. As of 2009, the Documentation Center of Cambodia has mapped some 23,745 mass graves containing approximately 1.3 million suspected victims of execution. Direct execution is believed to account for roughly 60% of the full death toll during the genocide, with other victims succumbing to starvation, exhaustion, or disease. The genocide triggered a second outflow of refugees, many of whom escaped to neighboring Vietnam and, to a lesser extent, Thailand. The Vietnamese invasion of Cambodia ended the genocide by defeating the Khmer Rouge in January, 1979. On 2 January 2001, the Cambodian government established the Khmer Rouge Tribunal, to try the members of the Khmer Rouge leadership responsible for the Cambodian genocide. Trials began on 17 February 2009. On 7 August 2014, Nuon Chea and Khieu Samphan were convicted and received life sentences for crimes against humanity during the genocide --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/thehistoryexpress/support

Remembering Henri Belolo, Nuon Chea, Edward Lewis, Sherman Poppen Henri Belolo was the music producer who helped create the music group The Village People, who were popular across the world in the late 1970’s with songs like YMCA and Macho Man. Nuon Chea was the second-in-command of the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia in the 1970’s. He and his cohorts including Pol Pot were responsible for the deaths of two million Cambodians in a country of seven million. Edward Lewis was the film producer who helped end the Hollywood blacklist when he publicly hired Dalton Trumbo, a member of the Hollywood Ten, for the Kirk Douglas movie Spartacus (1960). Sherman Poppen was the Michigan man who came up with the idea of snurfing, essentially surfing in the snow with a snowboard he invented.

TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜ http://www.bastabugie.it/it/articoli.php?id=5766MORTO IL BRACCIO DESTRO DI POL POT di Stefano MagniSi è spento all'età di 93 anni Nuon Chea. Un nome che può dir poco alla maggioranza dei cittadini del mondo in questo 2019, ma che è quello di uno dei più sanguinari ideologi del Novecento. Nuon Chea era infatti il presidente dell'Assemblea rappresentativa del popolo, nonché vice-segretario del Partito Comunista cambogiano: era il "fratello numero 2" del regime dei Khmer Rossi, secondo solo al dittatore Pol Pot. Si dice che sia stato soprattutto lui l'ispiratore, l'ideologo del regime che assassinò due milioni di persone in meno di quattro anni, un quarto dell'intera popolazione cambogiana di allora.Nuon Chea era nome di battaglia di Lau Kim Lorn, nato da famiglia abbiente di origine cinese, al confine con la Tailandia. Dopo aver studiato a Bangkok, militò prima nel Partito Comunista tailandese, poi alla guerriglia cambogiana, quando tutto il Sudest asiatico (gli attuali Vietnam, Laos e Cambogia) era ancora una colonia francese. Dopo la Seconda Guerra Mondiale e dopo la sua militanza nell'insurrezione anti-francese, partecipò da subito, assieme a Pol Pot, alla formazione del Partito Comunista cambogiano. Quando i Khmer Rossi, cioè i comunisti cambogiani filo-maoisti, presero il potere alla fine di aprile del 1975, Nuon Chea si ritrovò ai vertici del nuovo regime. Per quei 4 anni al potere, dal 1975 all'inizio del 1979, il tribunale internazionale della Cambogia lo ha condannato all'ergastolo nel 2014 per crimini contro l'umanità, poi nel 2018 anche per genocidio (per lo sterminio sistematico delle etnie vietnamite e cham in Cambogia). È stato condannato anche per altri reati, quali: riduzione in schiavitù (nei campi di lavoro e "rieducazione"), matrimoni forzati e violenze sessuali sistematiche.SOMIGLIANZE CON LA VIOLENZA DELL'ISISIl crimine cambogiano, uno dei peggiori nel "secolo crudele", per ferocia e intensità, può essere considerato come un'aberrazione del comunismo o come una sua applicazione coerente? La domanda è d'obbligo nel giorno in cui muore il suo ideologo. L'opinione pubblica negli ultimi anni è rimasta sconvolta dalle notizie che riguardano la violenza dell'Isis e soprattutto è rimasta sbalordita per le regole di vita incredibilmente rigide imposte alla popolazione nei territori da esso controllati: divieto di cantare e di suonare, divieto di usare matite e pastelli colorati, divieto di bere il caffè o di fumare alla finestra potevano costare frustate o pene carcerarie severissime. Tutte le regole imposte dall'Isis nel nome della sharia erano già state imposte dai Khmer Rossi al popolo cambogiano nel nome dell'ateismo. Non si poteva scambiare neppure uno sguardo con la moglie, tantomeno tenerla per mano o dirle parole dolci (per un "cara" detto alla moglie, il medico e attivista cambogiano Haing Ngor venne torturato). Le religioni erano completamente bandite. I buddisti, che costituivano il 90% della popolazione, vennero sistematicamente "rieducati", i loro monaci sterminati. L'islam della minoranza Cham venne liquidato con metodi genocidi. La minoranza cristiana venne bandita e sradicata. Tutte le chiese furono rase al suolo, il materiale ricavato venne usato per altre costruzioni.Non si poteva vivere in città: tutti i residenti cittadini vennero deportati in massa nei primi giorni del nuovo regime, inclusi malati, anziani, moribondi e bambini appena nati. Morirono a centinaia di migliaia, solo in quei primi giorni. Non si potevano parlare lingue straniere. Non si dovevano avere contatti con l'estero. Le minoranze etniche erano automaticamente considerate "nemiche" perché rappresentavano popolazioni straniere.COMUNISMO PURONon si poteva neppure portare gli occhiali: ogni segno di "decadenza borghese" era punito dai capi locali, anche con la morte se lo ritenevano necessario. La proprietà privata era abolita completamente. Non solo i pasti si dovevano consumare in comune, ma si doveva dormire in spazi comuni nelle comunità agricole fondate dal regime per creare l'uomo nuovo contadino cambogiano, "libero" da tutti i vizi cittadini. Si moriva di fame, perché il sistema di redistribuzione applicato a qualunque genere di prima necessità era insostenibile, ma chi rubava dai catasti era punito con la morte. I sentimenti personali erano vietati, come dimostra il caso di Haing Ngor, ma anche la stessa famiglia era di fatto abolita. Era il regime che decideva al posto della persona chi sposare, i figli erano affidati all'educazione collettiva, separati dai genitori fin dai primi anni di vita. L'amore più grande doveva sempre essere rivolto al Partito, che rappresentava la collettività.Questa società non è l'aberrazione del comunismo: è comunismo puro. È l'utopia di Marx, applicata alla lettera dall'ideologo Nuon Chea e da Pol Pot, oltre che dai loro numerosi esecutori, senza gradualismo, senza passaggi intermedi. Senza, dunque, quella tappa storica chiamata "socialismo reale" che nell'Urss aveva portato alla burocratizzazione del regime e che anche in Cina, secondo il punto di vista dei Khmer Rossi, stava rallentando troppo la realizzazione della società comunista.

Former Khmer Rouge leader Nuon Chea's body is being held for 7 days in a Buddhist temple, in Pailin province near Thai border. - សពលោក នួន ជា អតីតមេដឹកនាំ​ខ្មែរក្រហម ត្រូវបានក្រុមគ្រួសារ រៀបចំ​ធ្វើបុណ្យ តាមប្រពៃណីព្រះពុទ្ធសាសនា នៅក្នុងវត្តមួយ នៅ​ស្រុក​សាលាក្រៅ ខេត្ដប៉ៃលិន និងត្រូវតម្កល់ទុកសព ធ្វើបុណ្យ​រយៈពេល ៧ ថ្ងៃ មុននឹងរៀចំពីធីបូជា នាថ្ងៃសុក្រ ទី០៩ ខែសីហា​ ចុងសប្តាហ៍នេះ​។

"Dit proces is een farce." Advocaat Victor Koppe is niet te spreken over de veroordeling van twee oud-leiders van de Rode Khmer in Cambodja. Dat regime is verantwoordelijk voor zeker 1,8 miljoen doden in de jaren 70. Koppe staat Nuon Chea (92) bij, na leider Pol Pot 'Broeder Nummer 2' van het brute bewind. "Als ik had geweten dat het proces zo'n farce zou zijn, had ik het niet gedaan." Het regent records op de internationale veilingen deze week: een schilderij van David Hockney ging voor 80 miljoen onder de hamer, juwelen van Marie-Antoinette leverde 47 miljoen euro op. Waarom worden er zulke duizelingwekkende bedragen betaald? Martijn Akkerman, juwelenexpert bij Tussen Kunst en Kitsch, begrijpt dat wel. "Je moet het verhaal kennen en zo'n juweel, die moet je gedragen zien."

The Khmer Rouge tribunal has assigned two medical experts (one foreigner and one Cambodian doctor) to assess the physical and mental fitness of the accused Khmer Rouge leaders, Nuon Chea and Khieu Samphan. - ប្រធាន​ចៅ​ក្រម​អង្គ​ជំនុំ​ជម្រះ​សាលា​ដំបូង​របស់​តុលាការ​ខ្មែរ​ក្រហម បាន​ចេញ​ដីកា​បង្គាប់​ឲ្យ​​អ្នក​ជំនាញ​វេជ្ជសាស្ត្រ ២ រូប ម្នាក់​ជា​ជន​បរទេស និង​ម្នាក់​ទៀត ជា​វេជ្ជបណ្ឌិត​កម្ពុជា​ ពិនិត្យ​​វាយតម្លៃ​លើ​សម្បទា​ផ្នែក​រាង​កាយ ឬ​បញ្ញា​ស្មារតី​របស់​ជន​ជាប់​ចោទ​ នួន ជា និង​ ខៀវ សំផន។ ការ​ពិនិត្យ​វាយ​តម្លៃ​នេះ នឹង​ធ្វើ​ឡើង ២ ថ្ងៃ នៅ​ថ្ងៃ​ទី​២៩-៣០ ខែ​មករា ឆ្នាំ២០១៨​។
