The Vietnamese troops well completed its mission in Cambodia, he said.
According to the expert, in the late 1970s, the international community hardly knew about the Pol Pot genocide and its barbarous acts of violating human rights in Cambodia.
While judging the ruling of the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC), Ito said that the international community had agreed to make the strongest judgment against these extremely serious human right violations.
In other words, acts of violating human rights have been strictly prohibited, but the genocide in Cambodia at that time was even more horrible than violations of human rights, he stressed.
This was a strong judgment, which sent to the international community a clear message that the genocide was an unforgivable action.
