The United States will contribute $5 million to the U.N.-backed genocide tribunal trying members of the communist Khmer Rouge.
U.S. Ambassador-at-Large for War Crimes Issues Stephen Rapp announced the donation Wednesday at the end of a two-day visit to Cambodia.
The tribunal is seeking justice for the estimated 1.7 million people who died from execution, overwork, disease and malnutrition under the 1975-79 Khmer Rouge regime.
Donor countries have provided over $100 million to date in support of the tribunal, including $1.8 million from the United States in 2009.
