PHNOM PENH — Cambodia on Thursday rejected claims by the United States made in a report that the Southeast Asian country's human rights record remains poor. "The Royal Government of Cambodia totally rejects the U.S. Department of State's 'Country Report on Human Rights Practices' on Cambodia, which entirely contradicts the true reality in the country," the government said in a statement.
The U.S. Embassy in Phnom Penh released a report Wednesday saying Cambodia's human rights record last year generally "remained poor." Among the reasons cited for Cambodia's poor rating were security forces that act with impunity, arbitrary arrests, forced evictions, endemic corruption, and trafficking in women and children.
