To be clear, In Cambodia Mr Sam Raingsy is a Khmer and not French citizen. The French government know so well the international law.
Mr. Rainsy lived in France since around 1966 and he is a naturalized French citizen and also holds a dual Cambodian-French citizenship. So he is entitled to use the French court. The problem in regard to this case is the alleged crime (the 1997 grenade attack) was committed in Cambodia, not on French soil and therefore it is not clear whether the French court has jurisdiction over this legal case.
cambodia used to be part of the french colony, as much as i detest the french, this matter got to be solved.
