The head of the government (and at the same time the commander of the Khmer Rouge armed forces ) was Khieu Samphan , and his deputy was Song Sen. Other members of the self-proclaimed government are: Chiang Juran (former Kampuchean ambassador to the PRC), Mack Ben, Ying Sopheap, Kor Bun Heng, Peach Chheng and Chun Choyun (former Minister of Health of Democratic Kampuchea) [2] .
The forces of PGNUNSC controlled the provinces of Pailin and Preahvihea [3] , where it was proclaimed. The city of Pailin was declared the "provisional capital" of the country. PGNUNSC did not have international recognition, but in 1996-1998. maintained informal relations with the leadership of the PRC . PGNUNSC had its own radio station, which broadcast on the territories controlled by the Khmer Rouge [4] .
The death of Pol Pot in April 1998 led to a general decline in the Khmer Rouge movement. In this regard, Khieu Samphan and Ta Mok decided to dissolve the government on June 22, 1998 [5] .
