ELEANOR HALL: The United Nations has this week issued a call for member states to pledge tens of millions of dollars to pay for a long-awaited war crimes tribunal to prosecute surviving members of the Khmer Rouge regime in Cambodia for what many regard as the 'Asian holocaust.'

Under the leadership of Pol Pot, an estimated two million people were murdered or died of disease and starvation in just four years in the late 1970s. Although the dictator died back in 1998, the current Cambodian Government is determined to ensure that his crimes are not forgotten.

As well as putting his surviving comrades on trial, the Government is working on the finishing touches to a planned Pol Pot tourist development in the regime's last stronghold in northern Cambodia.
