UN Criticizes Cambodian Government.
World Is Watching, Government Told After UN Meeting
Following global condemnation of the Cambodian government at a meeting of the U.N. Human Rights Council last week, rights groups sent a message to the ruling party on Tuesday that the world would not “turn a blind eye” to its efforts to stifle the opposition and other critics.
The statement, signed by seven local and international rights organizations, highlights the widespread criticism of the government during the 32nd session of the U.N. Human Rights Council, which concluded on Friday in Geneva...
Carl Thayer, a Southeast Asia expert at the Australian Defense Force Academy, said Mr. HE would likely continue to shrug off criticism until making the necessary moves to appease foreign donors as local elections approach next year...
“At the moment we are seeing a test of political wills. HE plays this game well and when the moment is ripe he will make just the right concessions to prevent the invocation of sanctions against his government.”

Jeez, how long has this game of cat and mouse been played out for?
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Whoa. Look out. The UN is threatening to actually do something. Of course nothing will happen. Toothless tiger.

Re: UN Criticizes Cambodian Government.
So when will the UN do something about the illegal Saudi invasion of Yemen that kills thousands each year?
Nah, better just complain about completely irrelevant SE Asian countries that have been at peace for 15 years.

Re: UN Criticizes Cambodian Government.
As far as i've read and heard, it's the exact same game that is played out in all the LDC's, certainly the one's I've been to. As long as they support western free trade they are tolerated. Aid is often just handed out as business sweeteners.John Bingham wrote:Jeez, how long has this game of cat and mouse been played out for?
