Expressing support for the designation of April 17, 2025, as "Cambodian Genocide Remembrance Day" to remember the horrific slaughter of almost 2,000,000 Cambodian people at the hand of the Khmer Rouge regime.

This resolution expresses the House of Representatives' support for designating April 17, 2025, as "Cambodian Genocide Remembrance Day." This designation aims to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the beginning of the Cambodian Genocide, which started on April 17, 1975, with the fall of Phnom Penh. The resolution highlights the horrific period during which the Khmer Rouge regime, led by Pol Pot, was responsible for the starvation, torture, and murder of almost 2,000,000 Cambodian people over four years, representing nearly one-fourth of the country's population at the time. It acknowledges the ongoing struggle of the Cambodian people for a free and democratic process and recognizes the efforts of the Cambodian diaspora community in the United States to gain federal recognition of the genocide. The resolution encourages all individuals to reflect on the history and lasting legacy of the Cambodian Genocide, both within Cambodia and globally. Finally, it formally requests that the President of the United States issue a proclamation calling upon the American people to observe this day with appropriate ceremonies and activities.
