Human Rights Day
was yesterday but yesterday I was too busy to blog because it was Human Rights Day. Happy Human Rights Day!
The Special Representative of the Secretary General was in town yesterday and was frank about Cambodia's human rights situation. He was in fact rather critical and although the government has not yet reacted, one can be sure that they will.
Human rights still weak, UN envoy says
UN criticises Cambodian land grabs
Cambodia to shun meetings with UN Special Human Rights envoy
UN envoy, US ambassador lead rare human rights march in Cambodia
UN envoy calls for judicial reform, donor responsibility in Cambodia
There is constant hope that things will change but the government shows on political will to change and the donors support the current regime. One would think that those who contribute over 60% of the national budget would have a vested interest in ensuring that the money is used ethically. Perhaps I am too idealistic.
