The Cambodian Memorial Sites, inscribed on UNESCO's World Heritage List in 2025, encompass the M-13 Prison, Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum, and Choeung Ek Genocidal Centre, which serve as poignant reminders of the Khmer Rouge regime's atrocities from 1975 to 1979. These sites, once centers of repression, have transformed into places of peace, reflection, and education, preserving the memory of the victims of genocide. They symbolize Cambodia’s journey toward national reconciliation, justice, and healing, offering visitors a space to honor the past while promoting global awareness of human rights.
