Book Description:
"Getting away with Genocide?" is an excellent study of decades of untiring efforts to deal with the legacy of the Khmer Rouge. The staff of the Cambodian Genocide Project and the Documentation Center of Cambodia have worked their hearts out for years. These are not naive people, and they know that their labor has been worthwhile whether or not there is a tribunal put in place before the key perpetrators die laughing. No one is holding their breath, but many keep plugging away seeking justice, or the truth, or something less. Accountability, the only practical deterrence against future crimes of genocide, is the real target of all this work, I'm sure.

One cannot watch this drama without recalling the words of T.E. Lawrence, "Lawrence of Arabia", written more than 80 years ago. He was thinking of a certain Arab people seeking the aid of the great powers of that day, but a cynical reader will think of justice seeking Cambodians and the poor small people now being wiped out in the Sudan. -- "They had a curious inability to recognize the insignificance of their little country, and an equal inability to understand that great nations act in their own perceived national interests, with little regard for the unarmed peoples of the world."


What a tiresome game it is, this turning of the head from genocide, a deliberate repetition of what had first looked accidental, then seemed mere negligence. Perhaps turning our heads and doing nothing even makes us enablers if not facilitators. Surely we can't be accomplices, can we? It's not as if we provided the tangible means to commit these crimes,some lawyer will say. Maybe we are just voyeurs enjoying the blood letting after the fact, taking what we can for ourselves, safe in the conviction that it can't happen to us, after all. Maybe even some Cambodians are doing the same.
