After seemingly endless political wrangling, ministers have now been appointed to make the decisions which have been held in limbo for nearly a year. But many ordinary Cambodians are pessimistic about the success of the new government - partly because of the massive increase in ministerial posts, which some say could hinder decision-making. One thing is certainly clear - these new ministers, all 207 of them - face an uphill struggle to put this poverty-stricken country back on the path towards development. Stalemate The ruling Cambodian People's Party (CPP), led by prime minister Hun Sen, won a clear majority in the July 2003 election, beating its nearest rival Funcinpec, the royalist party led by Prince Norodom Ranariddh.

Cambodian Government Creates 1,000,000-Acre Protected Area Cardamom Mountains Former Home to Khmer Rouge Washington, DC - The Cambodian government announced today the creation of the Central Cardamoms Protected Forest, a 1,000,000-acre (402,000-hectare) area in southwestern Cambodia's Central Cardamom Mountains. The Cardamoms are home to most of Cambodia's large mammals and half of the country's birds, reptiles and amphibians. Two wildlife sanctuaries border the area, bringing the total land under protection to 2.44 million acres (990,000 hectares), forming the largest, most pristine wilderness in mainland Southeast Asia. The protected area was officially signed into law by Prime Minister Hun Sen. The declaration allows for the permanent protection of the Cardamoms. Government rangers, military police and community monitors are patrolling and enforcing forest and wildlife laws within the area. "This is a huge step forward for the protection of our country's amazing array of life," said Ty Sokhun, Director General of Cambodia's Department of Forestry and Wildlife. "Animals found virtually nowhere else in the world can thrive freely in our forests."

about GPF What's New Newsletter Sitemap ... *Opinion Forum Comments on the Draft Agreement Between the UN and Cambodian Government By Suzannah Linton Documentation Center of Cambodia March 17, 2003 Before commencing on this assessment of the agreement, I must confess that as a foreign observer, I am torn between being happy for Cambodians that they will finally have some accountability for the utter depravity and suffering caused in the Democratic Kampuchea era and at the same time being deeply disturbed that a third rate compromise is all that they have been given. Yet, given that this is what has been agreed after so much trouble, the best way forward must surely be to make the most of it. I therefore offer these comments with best intentions. Stakeholders and interested parties must do whatever is possible to ensure that this mechanism of accountability brings a modicum of justice to Cambodia and to harness the opportunity of the trials to develop a complementary strategy for desperately needed social repair. Expectations must be realistic. All the wishful thinking in the world is not going to enable the trials of a handful of elderly Khmer Rouge on their own to provide sudden repair to the damage that continues to eat away at Cambodian society. Civil society has a particularly important role in providing support to, but at the same time being a watchdog of, the Extraordinary Chambers project. It also has a vital role in pressuring the Royal Government ('RGC') and the United Nations ('UN') to design and implement the many supporting programmes that will be needed, such as witness protection, psychiatric care, public debate and information/outreach.

about GPF What's New Newsletter Sitemap ... *Opinion Forum Special Tribunal for Cambodia The Khmer Rouge seized power in Cambodia in 1975 and killed more than a million people during four years of terror and misrule. When the Khmer Rouge were ousted in 1979 by forces from neighboring Vietnam, the United States supported the Khmer Rouge exiles and assured their continuing seat in the United Nations. US backing for the Khmer Rouge kept Cambodian politics in a turmoil and prevented the pursuit of justice for the mass killings. Finally, on March 17, 2003, the United Nations reached a draft agreement with the Cambodian government for an international criminal tribunal to try former Khmer Rouge leaders. The agreement came after five years of negotiations and 24 years after the Khmer Rouge were driven from power. Under the agreement, the panel of judges will include a majority of Cambodians. Human rights groups argue that the government's ability to impose its will on these judges poses an unacceptable obstacle to justice. On the other hand, with many likely defendents over the age of 70, time is running out for justice to be served. This page follows efforts to establish the Cambodian Tribunal.

Front Page Greater China South Asia Southeast Asia ... Forum Southeast Asia Mar 31, 2005 Cambodia steps closer to justice By Niko Kyriakou NEW YORK - United Nations member states have pledged the lion's share of funding needed to launch an international tribunal to prosecute a small number of surviving leaders of the Khmer Rouge, the infamous communist regime responsible for the massacre of an estimated 3 million Cambodians - or one-quarter of the country's population in the late 1970s. Countries attending Monday's fundraising conference here pledged US$38.4 million, about $5 million short of the sum the UN has agreed to raise. But Secretary General Kofi Annan told donor countries the amount exceeded his expectations and voiced confidence that the UN would be able to raise the balance. "The crimes committed under the Khmer Rouge were of a character and a scale that it is still almost impossible to comprehend," he said. "The victims of those horrific crimes have waited too long for justice. By your generous contributions today you can send a message that, however late and however imperfect, impunity will not remain unchallenged."

50. Asia Times There is little enthusiasm within the cambodian government for a show trial I would suggest that Hun Sen and the cambodian government need not fence http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Southeast_Asia/EE20Ae01.html

Southeast Asia Cambodia's legal system on trial By Alan Boyd Cambodia has said it is too busy to put the fading Khmer Rouge leadership in the dock for orchestrating a four-year genocide that may have taken as many as two million lives. But human rights monitors say it probably makes no difference whether the few remaining cadres have their day in court, for it is the tainted Cambodian system of justice that is now being put on trial. The government in Phnom Penh said at the weekend that it would be unable to ratify a United Nations trial framework "for several months" because it was preoccupied with planning the July 27 general election. As there is no National Assembly session scheduled until late in the year, it is likely to be well into 2004 before a specially appointed tribunal can be assembled - even if the new administration doesn't find fault with the agreement. By the time sentencing takes place, probably three years later, the jailing of less than a dozen sick and feeble septuagenarians for crimes that occurred almost three decades before may well seem anti-climactic. "In a sense it no longer matters whether the individuals concerned end up in jail, as most are so frail that they will probably cheat justice in any case. But it is important a trial is held so that we can rebuild the Cambodian people's trust in justice and the system of law," said a Phnom Penh-based diplomat.

Cambodia-sex: Cambodian government rules out legalisation of prostitution Agence France-Presse - November 19, 1999 PHNOM PENH, Nov 19 (AFP) - A senior Cambodian government official has ruled out legalising prostitution, but admitted the government has failed to tackle the industry's enormous health risk and abuse of sex workers. "The government is not denying prostitution is a social crisis, and the way the government has dealt with the problem has not been effective," Minister for Women's Affairs Mu Sochua told a forum of the Foreign Correspondents Club late Thursday. "But let's not look at a solution for today, but one that addresses the root cause of the problem which is poverty." With half of Cambodia's 20,000-strong sex workforce feared to be infected with the HIV (human immuno-deficiency) virus, which causes AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome), there has been mounting debate here on whether decriminalisation of prostitution could help control the booming industry. However Mu Sochua argued that while there was an urgent need for greater protection for prostitutes most of which are trapped in slave-like conditions she said any steps to legalise the multi-million dollar business would never be passed by the government.

Frequently Asked Questions SG/SM/7868 28 June 2001 SECRETARY-GENERAL CLARIFIES POSITION ON CAMBODIAN GOVERNMENT RESPONSIBILITY FOR TRIALS OF FORMER KHMER ROUGE LEADERS NEW YORK, 27 June (UN Headquarters) The following statement was issued today by the Spokesman for Secretary-General Kofi Annan: During the past few days, representatives of the Government of Cambodia have been quoted in the media as having indicated that the law to create special chambers in the national courts of Cambodia to try the former Khmer Rouge leaders could be enacted by August, and that the chambers could start functioning by the end of the year. The Secretary-General would like to make the following clarifications. The Secretary-General would like to state again that it is the responsibility of the Government of Cambodia to ensure that the enabling law is enacted by the Parliament of Cambodia in a timely manner. However, this legislation has to be in conformity with a Memorandum of Understanding to be signed between the United Nations and the Government of Cambodia. When the Legal Counsel of the United Nations, Hans Corell, visited Phnom Penh in July 2000, he had reached an understanding on the basic parameters of the relationship between the United Nations and the Government of Cambodia, regarding the establishment of the special chambers. The Legal Counsel presented the Government with a draft Memorandum of Understanding that would govern that relationship. The Government of Cambodia has not yet signed the Memorandum of Understanding. Furthermore, according to information given to the Legal Counsel, this instrument would have to be ratified by the Parliament of Cambodia.

24 May 2000 Donor countries' meeting concerned about total impunity enjoyed by killers Since the end of 1998 and the formation of a new coalition government made up of supporters of prime minister Hun Sen belonging to the Cambodian People's Party (CPP) and royalists, the situation has improved considerably for the media. The printed press enjoys real freedom and more than 260 publications have been recorded by the information ministry - although only ten appear regularly. The laws in force in Cambodia allow publications to be suspended solely as a result of an administrative decision by the information ministry. On 4 April 2000, the ministry suspended the weekly Cambodia News Bulletin for 30 days. The killers of the six journalists murdered between 1994 and 1997 have not been punished. Police have not identified any of the killers and there is reason to fear that they will never come to trial. Six journalists murdered between 1994 and 1997 In May 1996 Thun Bun Ly, former editor of the opposition newspaper Uddomgatik Khmer, was shot dead by a man on a motorbike. A few days earlier he had written some harsh criticism of the wife of prime minister Hun Sen. Chet Duong Daravuth, formerly a journalist with Neak Proyuth, died when a grenade was thrown into a crowd of demonstrators supporting Sam Rainsy in March 1997. Eighteen other journalists were injured in the attack. In July of the same year Michael Senior, a Canadian journalist working for Cambodian television, was shot dead at point-blank range by Cambodian soldiers in central Phnom Pemh during clashes between royalists and CPP supporters.

King Norodom Sihanouk returned to Cambodia from Beijing earlier in order to fight against the flood together with his countrymen, he told Prime Minister Hun Sen upon his arrival at the Phnom Penh Pochendong International Airport on September 16. And the King and Queen Monineath Sihanouk donated 300 tons of rice to the flood affected areas. Hun Sen personally surveyed the flood areas in many provinces of the country following his return from the UN Millennium Summit on September 12. Everywhere he went, he comforted the affected people, distributed relief supplies to them, encouraged them to overcome difficulties caused by flooding and reconstruct home by themselves.

The suspects were given from three to 15 years for attempting to overthrow Prime Minister Hun Sen's government with an armed attack on three government buildings in Phnom Penh on Nov. 24, 2000. Six attackers and one civilian were killed, and 12 wounded in the pre-dawn raids. An obscure U.S.-based anti-communist group, the Cambodian Freedom Fighters, claimed responsibility. Family members wept outside the crowded courtroom as the verdicts were announced, with many saying the accused had cooperated with government investigators after receiving promises of leniency. Two people were freed because of lack of evidence. "This is not justice," said Choum Samy, mother of a 29-year-old customs official, Duong Sopheap, who was given seven years imprisonment.

Printer Friendly Kassie Neou and Jeffrey C. Gallup are, respectively, director and associate director of the Cambodian Institute of Human Rights. 03/05/1997 Table of Contents Transitional Justice in East Asia and its Impact on Human Rights Human Rights and the Cambodian Past: In Defense of Peace Before Justice Kassie Neou and Jeffrey C. Gallup During their 1975-79 rule over Cambodia, the government of Democratic Kampuchea (DK), popularly known as the Khmer Rouge, committed some of the worst human rights violations in history. One million Cambodians, one-sixth of the population, died. The Khmer Rouge s crimes call out for justice. Yet the current Cambodian government, democratically elected in 1993, has not sought to punish the Khmer Rouge. Rather, it has amnestied thousands of Khmer Rouge under a 1994 law. Many former Khmer Rouge have even received special benefits from the government such as housing, land, and military rank in the Royal Cambodian Armed Forces. The law excluded amnesty for the leadership of Democratic Kampuchea but the government requested and got a royal pardon for Ieng Sary, one of the most notorious Khmer Rouge and their former deputy prime minister and foreign minister. Why has the Cambodian government taken a "soft" approach to justice for the perpetrators of the Cambodian genocide? The current government was born of an international peace process intended to reconcile the warring factions, including the Khmer Rouge. During the negotiations of the Paris Peace Agreements on Cambodia, Vietnam and the Vietnamese-backed Phnom Penh regime, then ruling Cambodia, made various proposals that Khmer Rouge offenses be specifically mentioned in the Agreements and that they include provisions for the Khmer Rouge leaders to be brought to justice for their crimes. But the other negotiating parties proceeded from the assumption that the participation of the Khmer Rouge and their Chinese patrons in the agreement was essential to its success, and that these two parties would not accept any punitive provisions or derogatory references.
