This movement committed the most international Crimes against Cambodian Civilian starting from Religious, racial minorities through the educated and ending without standing members of Khmer Rouge.

But its quit and unfortunate that the legal qualification of these grave breaches of International Law is envisaged as a normal Crimes against humanity, or homicide Crimes and this totally departs from the reality that they are genocide, in spite of the presents of main genocide elements in the acts and specially the (dol special), targeting of groups protected by International Law such as ,ethnic, religious, racial, national in Cambodia: Muslim Shams , Buddhist monks, Christian, Vietnamese.
