Description
A group of representatives from the Khmer People's National Liberation Armed Forces (KPNLAF) march in a parade of athletes competing at the first ever UN Olympic games, an event held in Phnom Penh's 1963 Olympic Stadium on 17 January 1993. Behind them march representatives of the State of Cambodia (SOC). The non-communist KPNLAF had been fighting the Khmer Rouge since 1979 and pledged loyalty to former Prime Minister Son Sann. Organised by the Australian contingent of the United Nations Transitional Authority in Cambodia (UNTAC), the games drew 600 participants from 18 countries.
