Higher Institute of National Defence The Higher Institute of National Defence was an organ of the Coalition Government of Democratic Kampuchea , then of the Khmer Rouge remnants in 1990s , with an advisory role on military issues . It was established in 1985 . When Pol Pot left the leadership of the Party of Democratic Kampuchea and of the National Army of Democratic Kampuchea in 1985 for age limits , he was appointed Director of the newly established Higher Institute of National Defence , apparently a " facade " position , but actually a very powerful one , since the Institute ' s role was to sum up the experiences of the guerrilla resistance and to advise the Government and the Army on the new course of actions . Moreover , since Pol Pot was the recognised communist leader of Cambodia his influence did not vanish , and for instance , he was able to order the arrest and execution of former NADK Supreme Commander Son Sen in 1997 . The Higher Institute ceased to exist with the dissolution of the Khmer Rouge in 1998 , but probably its functions were over since Pol Pot ' s arrest and show trial in 1997 .

Thompson and Powell Martyrs Monument The Thompson and Powell Martyrs Monument is a place on the National Register of Historic Places in St . Joseph , Kentucky , one of only three locations of the NRHP in Daviess County , Kentucky that is not in Owensboro , Kentucky . It honors two Confederate soldiers who were killed in accordance with the standing order of the Union general in command of Kentucky , Stephen G . Burbridge , known as Order No . 59 , which called for the execution of four Confederate prisoners for every unarmed Union civilian killed . The two men honored on the monument were Charles W . Thompson ( aged 18 ) and Pierman Powell ( aged 25 ) , who were executed in retaliation for the wounding of a prominent resident of Henderson , Kentucky , James E . Rankin , who later died . The two men were killed on July 22 , 1864 . They were originally held in Daviess County , but were taken to Henderson by Federal troops to be killed . Confederate Colonel Lee A . Sypert of the 16th Kentucky Cavalry ( unofficially called the 13th Cavalry ) tried to rescue the two men on July 21 , using a bluff to draw away Union forces . However , the defenders held on until Union gunboats arrived , forcing Sypert to withdraw . The two Confederate prisoners were killed by firing squad on the banks of the Ohio River in Henderson , immediately after which the Union gunboats left the city , along with all the Union soldiers in the city . Fearing retaliation , many of the Union - sympathizing citizens of Henderson fled the city , even though Sypert sent a proclamation to the city , stating : " . . . They are gone , and their murder is another crime added to the damnable catalogue of the despotism that rules you . We are Confederate soldiers . We fight for the liberty our sires bequeathed us . We have not made , nor will we make war upon citizens and women . Let not your people be excited by any further apprehension that we will disturb the peace of your community by the arrest of Union men , or of any interference with them unless they place themselves in the attitude of combatants . Such conduct would be cowardly , and we scorn it . " Like most monuments dedicated in the memory of the Confederacy , the letters CSA are at the bottom of the monument . However , due to the placement of the lettering on the monument , it is possible to misconstrue that Burbridge was a Confederate general , not a Union one . Burbridge spent years trying unsuccessfully to have those letters removed , as it angered him to have those letters after his name . On July 17 , 1997 , the Thompson and Powell Martyrs Monument was one of sixty - one different monuments related to the Civil War in Kentucky placed on the National Register of Historic Places , as part of the Civil War Monuments of Kentucky Multiple Property Submission . The Confederate Monument in Owensboro is the only other monument on the list in Daviess County . Other monuments to victims of Burbridge so honored are Confederate Martyrs Monument in Jeffersontown , Confederate Soldiers Martyrs Monument in Eminence , and Martyrs Monument in Midway .
