During the Cambodian genocide (1975-1979), the Khmer Rouge regime, led by Pol Pot, systematically violated numerous human rights. These included the right to life, as an estimated 1.7 million people were killed through executions, forced labor, and starvation. Freedoms of speech, assembly, and movement were severely restricted, with individuals subjected to torture and inhumane treatment. Additionally, the regime targeted ethnic minorities, intellectuals, and anyone perceived as a dissenting voice, further highlighting the widespread nature of human rights abuses during this period.

The genocide also drew global attention to the human rights violations occurring under communist regimes, complicating the ideological narrative of the Cold War. Additionally, the aftermath contributed to the eventual Vietnamese invasion of Cambodia in 1978, further entrenching regional tensions during the Cold War era.
