Nearly two million people died under Pol Pot's regime over three decades ago.
The three are on trial for crimes against humanity and genocide.
Pol Pot's right-hand man Nuon Chea, ex-president Khieu Samphan and former foreign minister Ieng Sary deny the charges.
Former Cambodian social affairs minister, Ieng Thirith, has been declared unfit to face trial.
