actionary forces. But I am convinced that the founders of the tribunal know how to persevere, as in the past, and to take the appropriate measures in order to bring this work to a successful conclusion. It is certain that all the peoples and all the men involved in peace and justice in the world will be on your side and will support you wholeheartedly.
We extend our sincere thanks to all the members of the International War Crimes Tribunal for the warm support to the justly waged resistance war of our people.
Please accept, Mr. President, the assurance of my highest consideration.

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.
