Most Cambodians alive today lost at least one family member to the Khmer Rouge's brutal rule.
And that includes the royal family, among them Prince Thomico Sisowath, the nephew of former King Sihanouk.
But despite losing his parents to the Khmer Rouge he is not in favour of the tribunals that are now underway.
