Stalin, Lenin, Ho Chi Minh are all totalitarianists with fake names. Pol Pot was influence by these preceding totalitarianists in many ways, one of these being the changing of his name. It was sort of a rite of passage for all totalitarian leaders, so change their names. He also did it for the sake of secrecy, which was one his biggest defenses against the "enemy."
He changed his name when he finally completely became in control of the Cambodian government. It reflected the pattern of Ho Chi Minh, Stalin, and Lenin, who were other communists. The changing of names was a sort of "rite of passage" for them. For Pol Pot it also ensured secrecy; one of his biggest defenses against the "enemies."

Who was responsible for the massacre that occurred in Srebrenica in 1995?
The mascara was committed by Serbs (technically Bosnian Serb army, de-facto heavily supported by the Yugoslav army). Serbian army has relatively easily entered the city because the Bosniak defenders were largely disarmed since the United Nations were formally defending the town. Actually, UN forces (Dutch UNPROFOR troops) have only shot warning shots and have never confronted the advancing Serbian army. Neither did the NATO air-strikes occur because the Serbs have threatened to kill Dutch troops and captured French soldiers.
The fate of Srebrenica was originally planned for much larger enclave of Goražde (65,000 people, approx. 50 km from Srebrenica). Since the defending Bosniaks in Goražde refused to disarm as required by UN Commander Rupert Smith, Serbian forces have turned to smaller and undefended Srebrenica where they committed the massacre. Obviously, the responsibility for the massacre lies partially with the UN forces that have disarmed the defenders of the enclave and completely failed to prevent entry of Serbian army into the town.

Did the Czech Republic respond to the Rwandan genocide?
Hi there!
Yes, the Czech Republic did respond. The Czech Republic responded to the Rwandan genocide by being one of the first countries to call it an actual genocide. Many other countries were cautious to call it a genocide because that implied that they had to punish Rwanda (these countries being: the UK, US, etc). The Czech Republic suggested that Rwanda should split in half (the Hutu in one side and the Tutsi in the other). They suggested this because they had done this themselves earlier in 1993 when they "divorced" Slovakia (used to be Czechoslovakia, remember? :) ). The Czech Republic was furious that the countries in the Security Council were not responding quickly to the issue and were dilly-dallying there time. It was unacceptable to the new country.
