Speaking in Moscow, Ros Samay, General Secretary of Cambodia’s Salvation Front (KUNFS) says deep changes are underway in🇰🇭. Peaceful construction is aided by the Soviet Union. He says the Khmer Rouge killed nearly 3 million Cambodians. https://t.co/QpY5wz6PsW The @UN Human Rights Commission takes no action on Cambodia, as the non-aligned nations pushed through a motion to adjourn debate, so Canada’s resolution on human rights violations in Cambodia never came to a vote.

In a note to @UN, Khmer Rouge ambassador Thiounn Prasith states Vietnam’s losses from March 9 to 13 and claims that the KR killed Cuban troops alongside hundreds of Vietnamese. https://t.co/IkVgczn5uc

@themattmadden @UN Yes

At the @UN Commission on Human Rights,the Chairman of the Sub-Commission on the Protection of Minorities, Adelwahab Bouhdiba, presents an analysis of events in Democratic Kampuchea & concludes that the situation “constituted nothing less than autogenocide”

Vietnam’s ambassador in France dismisses China’s intent to withdraw and says they could only start negotiations after a “real retreat” of Chinese forces to the other side of the historic frontier as established in a treaty in 1958. He puts China’s loses to 45,000. Vietnam, Laos, Afghanistan and the Soviet Union’s delegates walk out of the @UN meeting of the Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacfic (ESCAP) as they refuse to listen to the Khmer Rouge delegate about to take the podium: https://t.co/JOcY3hgSns

China withdraws its troops from Vietnam after affirming that its troops attained their set objectives. They had been “compelled to strike back in self-defence against the Vietnamese aggressors”.

“The new Government, which via Vietnam circulated photographs of conquering soldiers, has shown no pictures of normal life returning to towns, no children in schools, no monks in pagodas, no crowds showering flowers on their liberators”, mourns H. Klamm in @nytimes

@UN’s Human Rights Commission continues to monitor the situation in Cambodia, despite a change in political leadership. The US said it would veto proposals to send observer missions to🇰🇭, as it “would further the appearance of legitimacy of the Heng Samrin regime.” Khmer Rouge ambassador Thiounn Prasith states Vietnam’s losses inflicted by the Khmer Rouge from Feburary 27 to March 2: – more than 1,500 soldiers & 5 Soviet advisers killed; – 14 soldiers captured; – 2 tanks, 1 warship, 2 guns and 12 military vehicles destroyed https://t.co/LkbzZwUqVs

To avoid the impression that condemning Vietnam’s attack on Cambodia signifies sympathy or support for Pol Pot, US Secretary of State Vance advises his staff to not accept meetings with any Khmer Rouge representatives.

The Khmer Rouge claim in a note to @UN that Cambodia’s new leader Heng Samrin, “who was installed by Vietnam at temporarily occupied PhnomPenh” that Samrin is virtually unknown in the country and that he was a former cattle thief named Weuk at the🇻🇳-🇰🇭border. https://t.co/xBg55963X2
