Subject: [Vsg] 1979 Vietnamese Trial

Dear group,

I recently read that the Vietnamese had organized and

carried out a trial

of Khmer Rouge officials in 1979. Does anyone have

information on this

trial? Is there literature on this?

Thanks for your time!

The book by Evan R. Gottesman Cambodia: After the Khmer Rouge Inside the

Politics of Nation Building would be a good place to start. It has been a

while since I picked it up but he covers this period and uses documents from

when the VN were in Cambodia.

Pol Pot and Ieng Sary were sentenced to death in an in absentia trial held

in the summer of 1979. You could probably read the details or transcripts

of the trial if you have access to the U.S. government's Foreign Broadcast

Information Service (FBIS), or its Joint Publications Research Service

(JPRS). The UC Berkeley Indochina Archive, where I formerly worked, should

have these materials.

Other possibilities include:

1. Howard De Nike (ed), Genocide in Cambodia: Documents from the Trial of

Pol Pot and Ieng Sary (U of Pennsylvania Press, 2000);

2. Craig Etcheson, After the Killing Fields (Praeger, 2005);

3. Tom Fowthrop and Helen Jarvis, Getting Away with Genocide (Pluto Press,

2004)

4. The Yale website also has some documents posted from their Cambodia

Best,
