Petition to Ensure Human Rights and Democracy in Cambodia - Please Sign Online!


Subject: Petition to Ensure Human Rights and Democracy in Cambodia

Target:US Secretary of State, Hillary R Clinton
Sponsored by: Ros Visal - Philadelphia, PA.


The current government has brought so many negative changed to Cambodia. Here is lists of some of the unethical actions of the current government in Cambodia that I believe are must mentioning:

The Paris Peace Agreement in 1991: The primary objective of this agreement should be the advancement of the Cambodian nation and people, without discrimination or prejudice, and with full respect for human rights and fundamental freedom for all. The Cambodian current government have not fully implemented this Paris Peace Accord which agreed and signed by: Secretary General of the United Nations, the United States of the America and 18 other countries of which Cambodia was presented by 4 parties to the agreement, namely FUNCINPEC, KPNLF, PDA and CPP.

The Judiciary System: Out of its conviction to justice, the government has not established an independent court system that works for the people. In todays Cambodia, justice is not served for every citizen; innocent people get penalized for a crime and high ranking government is above the law.

The Parliamentary System: The government has no truly representative parliamentary system comprised of members elected directly by the people and responsible to the people.

The Freedom of Speech: Not consistent with the constitution to materialize, the government has not given people rights to speak the truth about their immoral characterizations. If someone does exercise these rights, he/she will get conviction of defamation and will be prosecuted. The freedom of speech is a milestone underachievement for the people of Cambodia.

The Human Rights: Cambodian citizens, politicians and journalists critical of the government face violence and intimidation and are barred from equal access to the broadcast media. In addition, the judiciary remains weak and subject to political influence.

The Force Evictions: Recently, the evictions were carried out without proper compensation to the villagers instead with excessive force by the Royal Cambodian Armed Forces, military police and civilian police officers armed with guns and lethal weapons. Such as inhumane evictions in Cambodia have caused thousands of families to lose their land, homes and livelihoods, and left them destitute.
