Millions in Aid Has Failed to Bring Justice, Rights Monitor Says

Fifteen years of aid money and millions of dollars have failed to bring a court system capable of providing justice to Cambodians, a leading rights leader said Monday.

Kek Galabru, who founded the prominent rights group Licadho, said Monday's International Rights Day march was good, but the overall view of Cambodia's progress was not promising. "What we want is not just the freedom for one day, today, but law," she said, for the future freedoms of assembly, protest and expression.

Licadho issued a report ahead of Rights Day, calling for real reform of the courts, which suffer allegations of corruption and politicization, and lead to impunity for criminal government officials.

Donors were not evaluating the right progress as they give millions of dollars in aid, Kek Galabru said, as a guest on "Hello VOA."

"Evaluation should not be based on training and court-building renovation, but actual daily work on legal procedures," she said.

If you want law, go west, bitch. Here, we want moral.

It is not just millions but it is billions of US$ went to the corrupted government officials. They came from nothing and they do not fell enough. They are too greedy. They get on with luxurious life then any one in the country or abroad.
It is not the government. It is the Kingdom that fails the Cambodians. The court system ought to be better if the court system has a legitimate king with brain. The constitution gives the court system to the supreme king. Both father and son failed to find justice for Cambodians and continue to be KING MONKEYS in the country. They are both there only to put weight in the Cambodian soil suck Cambodian blood and aids.

There are too many Ah Khmer-Yuon illegal immigrants who stole all the all the Khmer's moneys. We must get out of Cambodia as soon as possible before it too late.

nonsensical, trash talking and writing.
