the EU have already effectively given the CPP millions of Euros for a free and fair election. More tax payers (poor people's) money thrown away. I doubt there will be much chance of reclaiming it.

Some history.
In Cambodia, both the OHCHR and the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) welcome the Royal Government of Cambodia’s repeated stand against the use of capital punishment.
Cambodia has been at the forefront of abolishing the death penalty in Asia, in particular among ASEAN nations.
Cambodia is one of only two ASEAN countries (the other being the Philippines) to have abolished capital punishment.
It also has the longest continuous period of abolition, having banned the death penalty for all crimes since 1989.
This situation became formally entrenched in 1993 under Article 32 of the Cambodian Constitution, which explicitly forbids capital punishment.
In recent years, the Royal Government of Cambodia has repeatedly reaffirmed its commitment to the abolition of the death penalty by consistently voting, in 2007, 2008 and 2010, in favour of United Nations General Assembly resolutions on a moratorium on the use of the death penalty.
These resolutions also called for a restriction of the number of offences punishable by death; the publication of information on the use of the death penalty; respect for the international standards that provide safeguards guaranteeing the protection of those facing the death penalty; and a commitment not to re-introduce the death penalty once it is abolished.
In December this year, the UN General Assembly will vote on a fourth resolution on a moratorium on the death penalty.
Cambodia’s abolition of the death penalty is all the more laudable in light of the heinous crimes that were committed in the country during the Khmer Rouge period.
The sentencing by a Cambodian court of Kaing Guek Eav to life imprisonment for such serious crimes has reinforced the message that Cambodia has renounced the use of the death penalty in practice as well as in theory.
