Overgrown tools of war in peace park

A notable feature in the Win-Win Memorial is a separate Peace Park south of the main monument.
Military equipment such as fighter jets, armoured vehicles, cannons, and tanks is displayed, surrounded and slowly engulfed by trees and plants that will eventually envelop the war machines.
A simple, yet powerful message.
The Win-Win Memorial or វិមានឈ្នះឈ្នះ (Vĭméan Chhneăh Chhneăh) in Khmer, marks the end of over 30 years of civil wars and two decades of relatively successful transition to a peaceful society. The memorial was inaugurated in December 2018.
This Memorial is located two miles north of the capital city Phnom Penh.
The photos shown here are from my visit with Khmer friends in February 2019, six weeks after the inauguration.
Photos show a MIG- 21 “Fishbed” supersonic fighter, an early Soviet-era T-55 MBT and a 105 mm towed light howitzer field canon.

Speed entry at Win-Win

When you are seven years old, speed is of essence. All the time!
A memorial symbolizing peace and reconciliation is probably worth to make a run for.
Located two miles north of the capital city Phnom Penh is the Win-Win Memorial, the first structure in what was to become a larger memorial and activity park area including a new sports stadium.
The main area is flanked by Cambodian and Buddhist flags.
The entire area spans 8 hectares and serves as a place of remembrance, reflection, and motivation. In addition to the central monument, there’s a separate 117-meter-long memorial wall adorned with bas-reliefs that narrate the journey toward peace. The site also features eight large and small water pools, a dedicated museum, several sculptures, and freshly planted trees and vegetation to create a greener park-like environment.

The core promises of a Win-win-peace

Located two miles north of the capital city Phnom Penh is the Win-Win Memorial, a larger memorial and activity park area.

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.

Monolithic central stage
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.

The pentagonal base symbolises the 5 main points in the Win-Win strategy: Divide, Isolate, Finish, Integrate and Develop.

Statues serving a punch of guardian symbolism
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.

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.

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.

Naga also represents the mythic origin of the Khmer people.
