Cambodia’s King Norodom Sihanouk declared today that his son, Prince Norodom Sihamoni, is ready to accept the crown to resolve a political crisis triggered last week when the 81-year-old monarch announced he would abdicate.

Cambodia’s King Norodom Sihanouk has abdicated because of poor health and asked the country to begin a search for a successor, the head of the National Assembly said today.

Cambodia's Senate has approved a law on creating a tribunal of judges to try the leaders of the murderous Khmer Rouge regime of the 1970s.
