Test of wills: sanctions against Khmer Rouge likely as talks fail
Article Abstract:
UN efforts to bring peace in Cambodia have failed following the Khmer Rouge refusal to give up its plans of military aggression and take part in the 1993 Cambodian election. The failure of the 1992 peace talks, held in Peking, China, by Paris Peace Conference co-chairmen Indonesia and France along with Cambodia, Australia, Japan and Thailand, may result in UN sanctions against the Khmer Rouge. Moreover, the Chinese government has been left in a doubtful position because of its close relations with the Khmer Rouge as well as its permanent UN membership.

Peace, Khmer style
Article Abstract:
The peacemaking efforts of the United Nations Transitional Authority in Cambodia (UNTAC) have legitimized the Khmer Rouge, a Maoist group which committed genocide against a million Cambodians while in power during 1975-78. The Khmer Rouge, however, has refused to surrender its weapons or territory to the UNTAC troops and is trying to attack Vietnamese settled in Cambodia. Some of the UNTAC peacekeepers feel that they must impose sanctions against the Khmer Rouge and force it to comply with the peace-accord to which it is a signatory.

Trading places: Khmer Rouge weakened by defections
Article Abstract:
The Cambodian government is struggling to cope with the overwhelming success of its program persuading Khmer Rouge soldiers and cadres to defect. It claims to have drawn 7000 so far, including 2000 in the past three weeks, though all the defectors are not soldiers. That still leaves 5000 to 10,000 to contend with. Those defecting say the Khmer Rouge's new scorched-earth policies are as large a factor as government inducements. Cambodia is seeking foreign aid to feed the defectors and refugees.
