Cambodia: In landmark verdict, the Khmer Rouge Tribunal recognises forced marriage as a crime against humanity and convicts former Khmer Rouge leaders for genocide

The conviction of former Khmer rouge leaders for forced marriages & sexual crimes stemming from them and their qualification as crimes against humanity set an important precedent in international law. The court’s verdict ensured that the perpetrators of forced marriages were properly punished & victims received justice.”Guissou Jahangiri, FIDH Vice President
