Victims of the Khmer Rouge are holding a conference discussing the role they are playing at a UN-backed tribunal taking place in Cambodia.
Five former Khmer Rouge leaders have been charged with crimes against humanity.
A first trial ended with accusations the special courts had shown little interest in the victims' testimony.
This conference is a chance for victims to air their concerns to officials before a second case goes to trial.
