Australia joins UN condemnation of Cambodia but refugee deal remains
Forty-five members of human rights council warn HE is presiding over an increasingly authoritarian regime
Thu 22 Mar 2018 02.31 GMT
Australia has joined 44 other nations at the UN human rights council in condemning growing political violence and repression in Cambodia ahead of elections there this year.

HE, Cambodia’s strongman leader, was in Sydney last weekend for the Australia-Asean summit and met the prime minister, Malcolm Turnbull. It is understood the pair discussed human rights issues and the upcoming elections, as well as trade and the region’s nuclear threats.

But Australia maintains a controversial and expensive refugee deal where it sends refugees from its Nauru offshore processing centre to Cambodia, despite concerns over widespread human rights abuses in the south-east Asian country.

Hun’s presence in Sydney sparked significant demonstrations on the streets of the city, with protesters condemning him as a “thug” with “blood on his hands”.

In Geneva on Thursday morning Australian time, the 45 members of the 47-member human rights council said Cambodia had made significant democratic progress since the signing of the Paris peace agreement in 1991 ending the country’s civil war. But it had regressed in recent years, growing increasingly violent and authoritarian.

“As we near the elections scheduled for 29 July this year, our previous optimism has been replaced by deep concern about the recent serious decline of civil and political rights in Cambodia. These backward steps include signs of escalating repression of the political opposition, civil society and media,” the countries said.

“For the Cambodian government to retain its legitimacy, any elections must be free, fair and credible.”

2018-19 Australian aid budget: Reduction in direct funding to Cambodia.
8 May 2018
CANBERRA — The Australian aid budget got a slight boost Tuesday night, rising by 190 million Australian dollars ($141 million), for a total of AU$4.2 billion ($3.12 billion) in official development assistance for the 2018-19 financial year.
The budget is an increase on the previous year’s forecast of AU$4.01 billion, but still falls far short of what the development sector had urged.

The losers:
Indonesia and Cambodia
The boost to assistance for PNG and the Solomon Islands came at a toll for Indonesia and Cambodia. As growing economies, both are transitioning to a partnership approach between Australia and their governments, and as such, both had allocations reduced, with some of that money presumably allocated for the undersea cable between Australia, PNG, and the Solomon Islands.

Indonesia and Cambodia will each see a 10 percent reduction in direct funding from 2017-18, but DFAT still acknowledged there is much work to be done in these countries, especially given health priorities in the regions.

How these cuts will impact programs in Indonesia and Cambodia is yet to be determined, with DFAT beginning discussions soon on programs that can be reduced or cut entirely.
