  NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Hor Namhong
Hor Namhong (born 1935) is the foreign minister of Cambodia since 1998.
Hor Namhong, survivors say, was the "chief" of returnees at a Phnom Penh political re-education camp known as Boeng Trabek.
Hor Namhong in 1999 was the one to deliver the blow to the UN that the government would not allow an international tribunal outside Cambodia, like those for crimes in Rwanda and the Balkans.
