CAMBODIAN APPRECIATION OF TRIBUNAL

Phnom Penh

April 12, 1967

Lord Bertrand Russell

Dear Sir,

I have just received notice of your letter of March 25, and I extend to you my sincere thanks for the constant support that you are giving to my country -- which is threatened more and more directly with being one of the next objectives of the criminal escalation of the American armed forces.

I also assure you of our deep appreciation of the interest that the International War Crimes Tribunal carries against the aggressive murderers of the United States and of their accomplices in Saigon and Bangkok against our frontier villages. I am happy to inform you that Commander Kouroudeth of the Major-State of the Royal Armed Forces of Cambodia will be at the disposal of the Tribunal as a witness in charge of the complete dossier of the crimes committed against our country and our people by the United States, Thailand and the governments of Saigon and Seoul.

Please accept my encouragement in the pursuit of your noble action, and the assurance of my deepest and cordial consideration.

Norodom Sihanouk

Samdech Preah Norodom Sihanouk Upayuvareach Head of State of Cambodia
