An indecent peace

Article Abstract:

The UN Transitional Authority in Cambodia (Untac) is being rendered incapable by the Khmer Rouge's tactics and its own passivity. Time and again, the Khmer Rouge has gained from the international body's inaction against false declarations and violations of the ceasefire agreement provisions signed in Oct 1991. Through Untac's own mismanagement, the situation is exploited by both the Khmer Rouge and other nations. However, it remains possible to forge lasting peace in Cambodia if the Khmer Rouge is disarmed.
