In a landmark ruling, the last surviving leaders of the communist Khmer Rouge regime in Cambodia have been convicted of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes.

It is the first time that officials of the Marxist-Leninist organization that ruled Cambodia in the 1970s have been found guilty of genocide.
