Notes

1 This chapter is a reporting of the author's fieldwork and a portion of a complete case study on the subject of the role of apology in Cambodian's post-genocide reconciliation process (Ryono, 2011).

2 Democratic Kampuchea is the official name for the Khmer Rouge regime government.

3 People's Republic of Kampuchea (PRK), during the late 1980s negotiations for the comprehensive settlement agreement, renamed the party Cambodian People's Party (CPP).

4 Transitional justice is a term for a framework of understanding post-conflict transitions and refers to a collection of legal and appropriate non-legal mechanisms implemented in post-conflict communities to provide remedies for past abuses, contribute to reconciliation, strengthen the rule of law, and build local judicial capacities (Bickford 2004).

5 Structural violence is a term for elements of political or social systems that are unjust, oppressive, or abusive towards members of the society (Galtung 1976).

6 Proximity talks are diplomatic processes that involve neutral representatives acting as facilitators and transmitters of potential terms for agreement between groups who are unwilling to meet face-to-face.

7 An ideal comprehensive settlement agreement, as opposed to the more common concept of political settlement, would involve victims, representatives of civil society, or non-militant groups. In Cambodia's case, the strategy for negotiations leading up to the 1991 Paris Agreement largely accounted for the interests of elite and armed groups.

8 This is the same coding system used by Mellor et al. (2007) in their study on apology.

9 Angkar refers to the elite group or the official organization of Democratic Kampuchea.
