Cambodia's opposition leader says the government is deliberately delaying efforts to try former Khmer Rouge leaders.
Sam Rainsy is demanding a global effort to try those responsible for one of the worst genocides of the 20th century, following a series of delays to a UN-backed tribunal.
Up to two million people died of overwork and starvation or were executed under the 1975-79 rule of the Khmer Rouge, which abolished religion, property rights, currency and schools.
Sam Rainsy criticised the government as his party commemorated the fall of Phnom Penh 32 years ago.
Hundreds of party supporters and monks gathered at a killing field outside the capital, where thousands were bludgeoned to death by Khmer Rouge cadres.
