Dag-Rune ZThe core promises of a Win-win-peace<br>
<br>
Located two miles north of the capital city Phnom Penh is the Win-Win Memorial, a larger memorial and activity park area. <br>
<br>
The Win-Win Memorial marks the end of over 30 years of civil wars and two decades of relatively successful transition to a peaceful society. It was inaugurated in December 2018.<br>
<br>
Monolithic central stage<br>
At the heart of the memorial stands a three-sided 33-meter-high monolith with a pentagonal base. The three sides represent guarantees given to all Khmer Rouge soldiers who surrendered: exemption from life sentences, employment, and the right to own property. <br>
<br>
The pentagonal base symbolises the 5 main points in the Win-Win strategy: Divide, Isolate, Finish, Integrate and Develop.<br>
<br>
Statues serving a punch of guardian symbolism<br>
One of the sculptures repeated on three sides of the monument base depicts a three-headed elephant carrying a Garuda on its back, supporting a flying Naga serpent figure.<br>
<br>
The elephants symbolize wisdom and royal power. The Garuda, a bird-human demigod from Hinduism, serves both as a devoted servant to the main deity Vishnu and an efficient, flexible guardian who swiftly comes to aid. <br>
<br>
The three-headed Naga atop the sculpture signifies both wealth and prosperity, with each head corresponding to Buddhist trinity: the central head represents Buddha, the right head represents Dharma (Natural Law, the Rule of Good Life), and the left head represents the monks.<br>
<br>
Naga also represents the mythic origin of the Khmer people.<br>
