The Documentation Center of Cambodia (“a Cambodian non-governmental
organization whose mission is to research and record the era of
Democratic Kampuchea [the 'Khmer Rouge'] for the purposes of memory
and justice”) - <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.dccam.org/">www.dccam.org</a> – says with every of its postings:<br>
<br>
<blockquote>Searching for the Truth<br>
MEMORY & JUSTICE<br>
<br>
“...a society cannot know itself if it does not have an accurate
memory of its own history.”<br>
<br>

This quoted article concludes with the following:<br>
<br>
<blockquote>“In any event, the Court’s lack of concern with the
territorial application of the judgment demonstrates an
inward-looking attitude that fails to take into account the global
nature of the Internet. It also increases the need for enactment
of the proposed Regulation, in order to provide some territorial
limits to the right to be forgotten.”<br>
