WHY IT’S IMPORTANT TO ENSURE THAT THE COMING ELECTIONS
IN CAMBODIA
BE CREDIBLE
“There are major flaws in the
administration of elections in Cambodia
and urgent and longer-term reforms are needed to give Cambodians confidence in
the electoral process and in the workings of the National Election Committee
(…). If the electoral process is unable to command the trust and confidence of
the electorate, the very foundation of the Cambodian political and
constitutional architecture embodied in the Paris Peace Agreements will be
shaken and the country may run the risk of a return to violence.”
Professor Surya P. Subedi
U.N. Special Rapporteur on the situation of
human rights in Cambodia
The above
is an excerpt from Prof. Subedi’s latest Report to the U.N. Human Rights Council
published on July 16, 2012. Full text at http://www.ohchr.org/ Documents/HRBodies/HRCouncil/ RegularSession/Session21/A- HRC-21-63_en.pdf

Violence will only be return once again for opposition parties members and supporters. CPP and its' supporters will continue to enjoy the corrupted government.
