Hun Sen proposes replacement of UN human rights envoy to CambodiaPHNOM PENH, Dec. 12 (Xinhua) - Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen here on Wednesday criticized the current UN human rights envoy to Cambodia Yash Ghai and proposed to Secretary-General Ban Kim-moon that he should be replaced.
Yash Ghai on Monday attended a ceremony in Phnom Penh to mark the International Human Rights Day and released a statement claiming that Cambodian citizens live in fear of land grabbing, repression and a court system which offers scant hope of justice, with international donors seemingly turning a blind-eye.
"I hope U.N. Secretary-General Ban Kim-moon should monitor this person because I don't have the right to change him," said Hun Sen, without revealing Yash Ghai's name.
"The secretary-general has the right to use this person to continue his work, but I have the right of not meeting him forever," he told the opening ceremony of a women's dormitory center inside the Institute of Technology of Cambodia in Phnom Penh.
"He came here for a short period of time, so how could he know about the (real) human rights situation in Cambodia? This person didn't say the positive signs in Cambodia but only the negative signs," Hun Sen said.
"This person's own country, Kenya, is in bad situation of human rights and he should go to his country to improve them there," he added.
"I suggest to U.N. Secretary-General Ban Kim Moon, if he still uses this person, the Cambodian prime minister won't work with him forever," he said.
On Tuesday, Cambodian government officials also denounced Yash Ghai as unwelcome person for the kingdom.
Government spokesman Khieu Kanharith told reporters that Ghai's words were an incitement for the people to revolt, adding that Ghai isn't fit to be U.N. envoy.
Ministry of the Interior spokesman Lieutenant General Khieu Sopheak said that Ghai wanted to make people oppose the government.

HUN SEN is asking UN to replace Ghai, while Cambodian ask HUN SEN to be replaced !! This is an easy logic
I told you UN ,since 1979 that do not bring the Kr back,now you see the result.
"KOM PUT SRÄRLOA KOM PRÄODOA PUOK TMIL"
This one-eye crazy guy is getting crazier and crazier by the minute. This is what and how Viet Hanoi programs him to be: a freaking robot destroying Cambodia while Hanoi is vietnamizing the entire country for its Indochina Federation.
Viet Hanoi must leave Cambodia alone. The Viet must withdraw all of their troops from Cambodia and return their illegal immigrants in Cambodia back to Vietnam.
Hahaha...see if I can write 7:16PM's comment out in Khmer unicode:
កុំពត់ស្រឡៅ កុំប្រដៅពួក ទ្មឹល?
ទ្មឹល = atheist = Viet communist
Yep, Ah Chkout (Ghai) is a blatant hypocrite. He can't solved problem in his own country, and he tried to solve ours, hahaha, LOL, hahaha, ..., ROFLMAO, ... .
" He comes to Cambodia for short period of time", Hun Sen said.
My advice to Dr. Ghai:
when you come to Cambodia next time, you should stay for at least 1 year, dating as many as Cambodian top ranking gov't officials' wives to get the information from them.
There you go, problem solved. You take our wives, and we get ourselves new one, a win-win for us an the UN.
Just stay out of its internal affair; it's not wise.
7:59 PM
Ah pleu, ah chkourt, Ghai is not Kenya's prime minister like Ah Hun Sen.
Kom Chkout pek, ah lob...
Well then, Ah Chkout (Ghai) should run for Kenya PM first. That way, he'll know what he's talking about.
Vietnamese policy is to get Cambodians fighting each other till death and Hun Sen is the man who make possible... Let's get some clear headed and rethink our future...
This guy Hun Sen, defying the UN. A country that existed based on donation make such demand, come on. Don't bite the hands that feed you ah Hun. If the facts are falsifying as you claimed, then HunSen you should produce the evidence.
Have you not hear or see the suffering of the poor people? Have you not see the homelessness, landlessness, and abusivenness that plaque the country? I strongly support Ghai's claimed 10 to Xth power.
Better change yourself before Ghai because you are soo poor of education.
Fucking stupit you!
I 100% supported Ghai, UN envoy for Human Rights in Cambodia.
I'd like that fist comment,he's right,he got to go!it not the UN problem to fight for freedom.go YASH GHAI'S!"ANANIKUM AMERICA RULES!"
No way, 9:56, if you supported Ah Chkout (Ghai), then you should move to Kenya with him. We (Khmer) don't want to like Kenya.
yeah maybe you don't understand the real freedom yet.that is why we fight for freedom,so we don't end up like fucken kenya,north-korea,ah youn-and ah chen.ok!there are alots of good countrys we needed to look at like JAPAN-south korea,malaysia,singapire,and the great super power in the world U.S.A!yeah baby!!"ANANIKUM AMERICA RULES!"
