Although the Paris Peace Accords of October 1991 opened the way for
peace in Cambodia, the country has always "enjoyed" a violent
history. As a small country, about the size of the state of
Missouri, a lot of news or information about Cambodia does not
surface. What does occasionally make the news is the fact that the
Khmer Rouge are still actively doing something in the country, the
country best known as the "Killing Fields." This paper begins with
a brief history of Cambodia to include what the United Nations
accomplished there in the early 1990s. Did the work of the United
Nations help Cambodia realize the potential of democracy? The paper
also addresses Cambodia's current political, military, and social
status. The conclusions will show that although the first free and
fair elections in 20 years were successfully held in 1993, much
internal work remains. The United States granted most favored
nation (MFN) status to Cambodia in 1995. Additionally, there is
talk of Cambodia joining the Association of Southeast Asian Nations
(ASEAN) in the summer of 1997. In order to pave the way for both
MFN and ASEAN status, the United Nations presence helped break down
years of Cambodian isolation. How has this affected Cambodia? Many
thousands of refugees who sought to save their very existence
escaped to various countries during the period of the Pol Pot
regime (1975-1979).
