CAMBODIA ADOPTS NEW CONSTITUTION, MONARCHY

Cambodia's constituent assembly overwhelmingly adopted a new constitution Tuesday, placing the country's future in the hands of a constitutional monarchy and a delicately balanced coalition government.

Under the new charter, Prince Norodom Sihanouk - the dominant figure in Cambodia's modern history, who abdicated the throne in 1955 to become a political leader - will return to the throne as king.
