Introduced
Summary
Cambodian Genocide Remembrance Day on April 17, 2025 would be supported by this resolution to honor victims and survivors of the Khmer Rouge. It would ask the President to issue a proclamation, note that the genocide began when Phnom Penh fell on April 17, 1975 and that almost 2 million people—about one fourth of Cambodia's population—were killed or died over the next four years, and recognize the resilience of Cambodian communities in the United States that have sought federal recognition.
