Answer 1

The statement that most accurately compares the human rights violations that took place in Cambodia and Rwanda is:

It was difficult to confirm information about violations in Cambodia, while journalists reported on the violations in Rwanda as they were happening.

In Cambodia, particularly during the Khmer Rouge regime, much of the reporting and information about the human rights violations was difficult to obtain and confirm due to the regime's strict control over information and its isolation from the international community. In contrast, during the Rwandan Genocide in 1994, journalists were able to report extensively and in real-time on the atrocities occurring in the country, which helped to bring international attention to the crisis as it unfolded.
