delayed genocide trials of former Khmer Rouge leaders, blamed for the deaths of 1.7 million people. In his opening remarks, Kong Srim, a Cambodian judge with the U.N.-backed genocide tribunal, urged his national colleagues and foreign counterparts to work hard to adopt the procedural rules by June 13, the Associated Press reported. The rules are necessary before the trials for crimes against humanity and genocide can be convened, hopefully by early next year.
