Cambodia's United Nations-backed war crimes court has issued genocide charges for the first time.
Tribunal spokesman Lars Olsen says charges have been laid against two former leaders of the Khmer Rouge regime.
Khmer Rouge number two Nuon Chea and Foreign Minister Ieng Sary are both charged over the the slaughter of Vietnamese people and ethnic Cham muslims during the 1970s.
Mr Olsen says both men have been brought before the investigating judges and informed they are being charged with genocide.
