When the killing was over 4 years later. over 1.7 million Cambodians were dead. Many had been executed. hundreds of thousands more were victims of starvation and malnutrition. Some Cambodians were fortunate enough to escape the madness and brutality of the Cambodian Genocide. making their way as refugees to various Southeast Asian nations. Nearly 150.000 Cambodians ultimately resettied in the United States. and today. there are more than 200.000 Americans of Cambodian descent. As Cambodians build new lives in the United States. it is appropriate and timely for the Congress to recognize the victims of the Cambodian Genocide. and to welcome the establishment of an international criminal tribunal to bring longoverdue justice to the perpetrators of the Cambodian genocide.
