- <p> On its face, the news was promising. The five permanent
- members of the U.N. Security Council agreed in Paris last week
- that the United Nations should help administer and police
- war-weary Cambodia until a new government is elected. But it
- remains to be seen to what extent the contending factions--especially the Khmer Rouge, the most powerful of three
- resistance groups fighting Prime Minister Hun Sen's regime--will accept U.N. intervention.

- <p> The prospects for peace in Cambodia were advanced on
- another front last week when Moscow confirmed reports that it
- has withdrawn most of its air forces from the military base at
- Vietnam's Cam Ranh Bay. The move appeared to be aimed at
- cutting costs, pressuring the U.S. to reduce its military
- presence in the Pacific and, significant for Cambodia, improving
- relations with Beijing. The Cambodian conflict has in some ways
- been a proxy war between the Soviets, who back Hun Sen, and the
- Chinese, who support the resistance.
