AI Summary
This resolution recognizes the week of April 17-23, 2025, as Cambodian Genocide Memorial Week in California, commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Khmer Rouge regime's rise to power. The resolution provides historical context about the genocide, noting that between 1975 and 1979, the Khmer Rouge, led by Pol Pot, committed atrocities that resulted in the deaths of over 1.7 million Cambodians (21% of the population) through systematic violence, including killing educated individuals, separating families, and destroying cultural institutions. The document highlights the early connections between the United States and Cambodia, emphasizing that over 140,000 Cambodian refugees were welcomed to the U.S. after the regime's fall, with California hosting the largest Cambodian population outside of Southeast Asia. The resolution calls upon Californians to participate in appropriate activities and programs during the memorial week, aiming to honor the survivors, remember those who lost their lives, and ensure that such atrocities are not forgotten. It also celebrates the resilience of the Cambodian people and their contributions to American society, while reaffirming the importance of remembering and learning from this tragic period in human history.
