UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon marked the 10-year anniversary of Cambodian dictator Pol Pot's death by urging the country's courts to deliver “long-overdue” justice for the crimes committed by the Khmer Rouge to bring closure to one of history's darkest chapters.

UN chief Ban Ki-moon marked the 10-year anniversary of Cambodian dictator Pol Pot's death by urging the country's courts to deliver “long-overdue” justice for the crimes committed by the Khmer Rouge.

Pol Pot, who turned Cambodia into the killing fields in the late 1970s, died on April 15, 1998, reportedly from a heart attack, in the remote northern outpost of Anlong Veng, the Khmer Rouge's final stronghold.
 
“I would like to remind the international community of the urgent importance of bringing to closure one of history's darkest chapters,” Mr Ban said. “With the support of the international community, it is my hope that the extraordinary chambers in the courts of Cambodia will soon deliver long-overdue justice for the people of Cambodia.”
