The United Nations-backed tribunal in Cambodia concluded its final hearing, rejecting an appeal by the last surviving Khmer Rouge leader, Sam Fern, who was found guilty of genocide and crimes against humanity. The Khmer Rouge regime, in power from 1975 to 1979, caused the deaths of a quarter of Cambodia's population.
