The Cambodia Tribunal is trying those responsible for atrocities committed during the Khmer Rouge regime back in the late 1970s.
Duch's trial is the first of many to come.
In 72 days of hearings, witnesses in Duch's trial spoke of beatings, electrocution, near starvation and other terrors at the S-21 prison run by Duch.
During her closing statement, a Cambodian co-prosecutor said that Duch's confession did not reflect the full magnitude of his crimes.
[Chea Leang, Cambodian Co-prosecutor]:"Although, Duch has confessed to the crimes he committed in S-21, his confession is still too little compared to the crimes he has committed."
