Son Sann

Son Sann
▪ 2001

      Cambodian politician (b. Oct. 5, 1911, Phnom Penh, Cambodia—d. Dec. 19, 2000, Paris, France), served as Cambodia's prime minister under Prince Norodom Sihanouk from 1967 to 1968 but went into exile in Paris when Sihanouk was overthrown in 1970; during the brutal rule of the Khmer Rouge (1975–79), he helped organize the opposition to that regime. When the Vietnamese then invaded and occupied his country, Son Sann returned to Southeast Asia, formed and served as prime minister of an opposing coalition government that the UN recognized as legitimate, and helped negotiate the 1991 peace treaty.
