Leading local human rights groups said Friday they would appeal to the UN Human Rights Council to continue its rights programs in Cambodia, following escalating criticism from the Cambodian government of the UN's special human rights envoy.
Leaders of the rights groups Licadho and Adhoc are in Geneva for an annual meeting of the Rights Council, where envoy Yash Ghai is expected to deliver a report on the government's human rights record.
Ghai, the UN secretary-general's special human rights representative to Cambodia, has been highly critical of the government's rights record in the past.
Kek Galabru, founder of Licadho, said from Geneva local groups would "plea and plea" with members of the UN to keep its rights office in Phnom Penh and keep Ghai as an envoy.
Rights groups are concerned the UN will not renew its human rights mandate in the country, where it has monitored rights since the Paris Peace Accords in 1991.

It is just the gangster song to lullaby the intimidation of UN....small country like Cambodia can intimidate UN....it is just those few advisers and leaders who are insulting UN....but Cambodian peoples are happy with UN....
Those tyrannical advisers and leaders will learn a shameful lesson from condemning the UNs.

Hun Sen and his CPP gangsters have known nothing about the progressive politics for Cambodian nation. The monopoly policy of Hun Sen and his cronies create only weakness for Cambodia as whole.
National official positions and assets have been used to eliminate opposition party. The history of Cambodian politics will record all these evil political behaviors.
SRP's members have high price higher than the present commodities price in the market. This is the success of SRP.
SRP will not be weak through this few political opportunists.
Hun Sen and his cronies are moving in a shameful political agenda.
No good example, and no intelligence at all for CPP through Hun Sen's political behavior.

You want Yash Ghai, this négro, all simply because he does a political subversion with the human rights as all the agents of the CIA.
Yash Ghai is an extremist one of human rights.
Take all Yash Ghai's criticism into actual places: is it extreme, it is a lie?
Open your inner eyes!
No doubt, the dog's criticism is 100% lie.
I know you are not sharing the tears and cry of ordinary Cambodian peoples everyday
Hell dude, some people are just too sensitive. They even cry over a dead bug. If I keep on crying for every little crap like that, I won't have anymore tear to shed for more important occasion, if you know what I mean.
Dear compatriots inside and oversea,
watch the below video
"http://www.dailymotion.com/relevance/search/tibet/video/x3tkn2_tibet-lhassa-la-memoire-confisquee_politics" and you will understand that Cambodia will be a Yuon province like Kampuchea Krom and Tibet.
To evoid this tragedy, please vote Sam Rainsy = vote Khmer
Vote Hun xen = vote Yuon
IT IS UP TO HUN SEN TO GIVE MERCY TO UN OR NOT! PEOPLE VOTED FOR THE PM NOT UN.
Remember Hun Sen is a person,I am just a simple khmer person that love my Country and my people.I believe UN is play very important part around the whole world.
Dear KI readers, as CPP top secret official member I want to inform you all that CPP also have some good people. But we accept that we have these individual name HUN SEN and his group supporters try to fight to hold on the powers. We try to keep PCC the power in a control of perminent committe. Majority of the committe not favor of HUN SEN but we afraid to stand up against him. As you all know that he is a #1 cold blood killer. Let the people remove him for this upcoming election. CPP will reform and choose a good leader for the latter election.
CPP Nationalist
We accepted the argument of the real CPP those love the Khmer nation and work for our motherland Cambodia.
Thank You 4:45am, We as Khmer People understand how it feels to be a nationalist under dictatorship. We hope there are more people like you in the country. Khmer People will vote for the country not for an individual.
Phnom Penh.
4:45 am, I am proud of you for excercising freedom of speech in Cambodia and in your own party. I think if your party abandon communist boss and get arid of dictators and corrupted officers. CPP will be good to go...for common voters

Nice try! But not good enough!
Does anyone who has a feeble mind will nimbly believe in this predictable political rhetoric, which orchestrated by the 4:45 AM poster?
You people are nothing, but are bunch of fucking slaves! Plus, your fucking Western education are fucking waste of the U.S. grants.
6:39AM
West and East has both good and bad, the wise will learn to blend these two different worlds for the benefits of their nation.
You are stupid to blame the west without cleaning your dirty assssss
awww sounds like somewhat a bit tipsy and jealous. You know what i'm saying 6:39?
seems other cambodian's progress is bothering you a lot doesn't it? especially the overseas. hey you agitated little ant wait for your time to come don't push it too much.
life is more fun living without such bitterness and envy take my advice for it grasshopper.
6:39am don't try to be smart if you are dumb. let the smart and the nationalist take a lead. Jealousy doesn't do any good to you. Don't make yourself a burden to these nationalist when they lead the country. 6:39am go back to school and learn some more, Cambodia need some good educated young people. You can be one of them.
Khmer Student at UC Berkley.
6:39am sound like you make a living by posting such an attack message to the nationalist and opposition on KI. I think you should tell your boss to send more jealous idoits like you. If you criticise your countryman for getting a better education in the west to built the country, is that mean your boss want khmer to be uneducated? so that is easy to convince them to vote?
Khmer Freedom
[6:39am] you're better think twice if you to want to compete with this group so called Khmer Nationalist Students For Cambodia, I heard some of them are special computer intellectual. Those students can hack into the systems and see your route where you are at. Don't make them mad or they will declare tech war against you and your less tech educated govement in PP.

"Groups Say UN Rights Office, Envoy Must Stay" -- KI Media
Of course, otherwise who's going to give them a fat paycheck?
We got too many "Long Term Tourist" here. It's time for them to go back home. They had more than enough vacation now.
8:28 AM
We dare you!
Go ahead and make our day, punk!
Only the FBI-geek-task force can hack into the system, if they think the national security is threaten. Plus, they (FBI) won't squander their time, energy and money for this frivolus political rhetoric.
For your information: we have some familiarity of how the FBI organization operate; also, we understand our legal boundary.
You people do have many things to learn!
7:49 AM
I acquired my graduate degree when you were sucking your mother's tits, son!
You just a newbie and young gorilla! You have plenty to learn.
8:21 AM
It's great to see that you're finally elected to exercise your freedom.
What are fucking retarded gorilla!
You people are wasting the U.S. taxpayers and U.S. grants.
1:22, 1:26, 1:31pm.. lol... I have no time to response with you guys little slaves. You waste my time, and you folks mean nothing in my eyes.... I don't want to make mess in US coz this country is ruled by LAWs and i respect them.. Wait and see in Cambodia. I will play the way they play!
By the way, you better to bed... your wives are waiting for you to feed them.
Peace
1:48 PM
You need to understand the rules before you can play game. We understand the constitutionality of the local, state and federal laws ... of course, the rules, too.
You need to stay two steps ahead of the game, boy!
1:48 PM
Incidentally, there's a hearsay that have been percolating that this particular University has predominantly minority losers who are using their status quo to matriculate (without ACT or SAT) to the University. I call it "pathetic."
1:26pm...I am so sorry that you get your degree for Vietnam during the communist invasion. Way to go, keep to wipe your grandson ass, But watch out for the quantity of the paper, it might cause cancer. lol....
Hey 2:30pm don't say anything if you don't know what are you talking about. Go back to Vietnam and learn more...
5:46 PM
Quite frankly, you and the rest of the retarded gorillas would not among to anything in the U.S. if the United States does not grant you people -- gorilla -- "status quo."
The US is not happy to host a communist brainwash like you 6:17am in the country. I live well here and working as an engineer but somehow get annoyed by you uneducated leaders that pretend to be smart in PP.
7:37 PM
Mr. engineer, could you come and fix our toilets?!
I never thought that engineer (s) like yourself can actually find some words and put them together in a sentence. Well, at least, you tried.
What's on your opposition party's political equation for the upcoming general election. Perhaps you can merely perform rudimentary mathematic operations such as addition and subtraction; however, when it comes to conveying messages, you're pathetic!
Well, actually I don't belong to any political party. I belong to Cambodian citizen. My English is so bad but annual income equal 12 times more than your minister pay check! I think it's fair, because I suffered in UC for years. You can call me pathetic, but I will call you brother still because you are khmer. Because I will be your future leader in Cambodia. Keep doing a good Job so that I can re-hire you when they fire you. Smile :-)
4:09 AM
You have no idea who I am ... or, what I'm capable of with my intellectual capacity; however, I will keep you (aside) as a backup in case I need you to clean my swimming pool.
Until then ... you're not ready for the reality of leadership for Cambodia.
12:46pm.. I know you, Hun Sen's Dog (adviser). I can't believe he send this adviser to word battle with the opposition on KI. lol.... What a cheap adviser!... By the way does Hun Sen knows how to type in English? I don't know. The last time I heard He understand the word "Fuck You". Oh poor, unliterate shameful Khmer PM.
5:58 PM
Hey, gorilla boy! I would prefer "advisor" with an "O," and take the "E" and give it to the gorilla species.
One-bullet-two-kill policy is more efficient and effective for a way forward for Cambodia going into a propitious future!
With political stability and the robustness of economic growth -- I'd say: the ruling party must have done something right for the country. Oh! I will get to keep the "O."
Vote CPP!
5:58 PM
Oh! Remember the next time you and rest of your spacies happen to be at the Phnom Penh International Airport, be gingerly wary not to inadvertently slip a word of English, because I will personally refuse your visa and have your asses flown out of Cambodia.
Vote CPP!
6:28pm. unfortunately, I am a Khmer Citizen. I don't need a visa to go my motherland. Are you telling me that you use govemental power to protect CPP interests? Fine, I will make you CPP feel how painful it is to have intenal deceases. If you love the country don't let CPP win, I don't have a party and no family, I live to cause you next govement internal cancer.
anti-unjustic.
3:50 AM
You're a small-minded gorilla!
Ah gorillas out of Cambodia! Forever CPP!
3:50 AM
So you're feeling unfortunate because you're ah Khmer-Yuon citizen? I don't blame you!
Ah gorillas out!
3:50 am, You are my hero, I like the way you fight against injustice. If there are alot of you in the country, I bet CPP will be in an ugly shape.
Khmer PP
5:55 PM
The U.S. and Cambodian governments are against suicide-bomber wannabes. We have astringent law against the terrorists, and you must understand the rule of law.
