On Thursday 24th April 2008, Miss. Sothy Kien representative of the Khmers Kampuchea Krom Federation gave a speech to the members of the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues.
“We would like to say thank you to Vietnam and the other countries for taking the positive step of supporting the 13 September 2007 adoption of the UN Declaration on the Rights,” she began.
“However unlike many of our indigenous Native American and Native Canadian brothers and sisters, our people from Asia are not recognized at all.”
She reaffirmed the need of recognition for the Khmer Krom people of the Mekong Delta by the government of Vietnam otherwise the indigenous peoples will continue to be denied the basic fundamental freedoms guaranteed under the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.
“We request the help of the Permanent Forum and governments around the world to help set up an appropriate time for which countries who has not yet recognized its indigenous people to do so.”
During the Human Rights Council meeting in March 2008, Vietnam announced it was right for human rights dialogue
In the past four years, members of the Khmers Kampuchea-Krom Federation reaffirmed the need for such a dialogue at the Permanent Forum.
“Let us make a historic moment and start a human rights dialogue today.”
Vietnam has yet to make a response statement to the request of KKF.
The conference will continue next week focusing on human rights dialogue with the UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights and fundamental freedoms of indigenous peoples and other special Rapporteur as well as ongoing priorities and themes and follow up.
An annual conference attracting over 3000 participants, it provides an opportunity for indigenous peoples, non government organizations (NGOs) and government to make constructive dialogue in regards to indigenous issues.

we are very proud for this young girl to dare to stand strong and speak loud for khmer Krom. Khmer krom need to be treated at least like Maorie in NZ or Tibetian in China by full protection from the National government and will their own representation in the National parliament. In NZ, we have 7 seats of Parliament is being reserved for Maorie people and other Maories can also stand on other party for their Candidate. On top, Maorie people has their own ministry of Maorie affairs, Maories business council. their land right and their right to all marines products. In education front, Maorie people has a quota system in all selection.
Example, in medical school, at least 30% of selected students are of maorie students. They have their own tribe leaders. Khmer Krom People need to have the same top priority. Areak Prey
Great Job Miss Sothy,
You are hitting the Yuon government right at the head. You are hurting its reputation internationally. Your people mission will be accomplished sooner than you think!
Keep up the good work everyone. You hit the Yuon snake from within and we will hit from the outside. Together we can burn the Yuon slimmy snake alive.
Does anyone still want free coffin (s)? Of course, I'll be providing free nails. Also, this is just a friendly reminder.
Bravo Khmer-Krom!
Finally you all have a voice. The Yuon didn't dare to have a friendly conversation with you because its know that it is wrong.
That's why it doesn't utter a word when every country is listening in. What a chicken!
If Ah Khmer-Yuon want any future, the first thing they should do is to apologize for destroying Indochina and causing over 100 millions people to suffer in poverty.
4.17 Go and find a better job and stop being a slave to your master (Youn-Hanoi), but try to get an education of world history first. People around the world are not stupid. So don't waste your time. Khmer Krom around the world are getting smarter too. Congratulations Miss Sothy! Don't be afraid to speak your mind.
Why we are separated like this:
1) our politician has no national interrest, only their family clan,
2) our politician has no clear strategy for our nation
3) our politician abused and betray Khmer people because normaly people have small acknoluages,
Result: Khmer don`t trust in Khmer and the country was splitted and we are Khmer, please don´t down each other, every problem we must to discuss to gether and look find the resolation for our nation. Fermer`view
Well, we'll never going to trust Ah Khmer-Yuon for anything; so I advice anyone not to hold their breath for it.
good job. someone got to be courageous and do it. by all means, please do not be silent about the issue. continue to represent your indigenous people, no matter where you live. all human beings have rights as much as anyone else. continue to educate the world about khmer krom people's struggle for their rights. god bless.
The very same Viet-born pimp/parasite @11:08 AM, @2:09PM, @4:17PM, and @6:42PM pretending to be Cambodian speaking out for Cambidian must understand one thing - You are hurting the Viet than you are hurting us, Cambodian people! We know you Viet's true color, and the world knows you Viet's true color!
Head on home tail between your legs, Viet! Go home!
Cannot insult the West while you Viet is kissing the West's arse every second of you Viet's life!!!
No apology, no future, no friend, think about that Ah stupid Khmer-Yuon.
Screw you you Viet pimp/parasite/plunderer @6:45AM!!!
Come and kiss my American's arse you Viet!!!
Very good this subject of Khmer-Krom standing up for what it's right really bother these Yuon agents.
What a coward they really are!
Just go home to Annam and there won't be any Ho Chi Minh city to go to.
Seventh Session on the United Nations Permanent.
how many more round ar youn can survive by shut they mouth?
It doesn't bother Yuon a bit because they got lot of friends everywhere. On the other hand, where is Ah Khmer-Yuon friend?
These Yuon always want to leave the last trace on Khmer-Krom people.
They want to make sure that they get the last comment at the end of the posts.
Don't worry people, Khmer-Krom made lots of friend world-wide. Now the world is starting to see the Yuon true identity.
Chayo Khmer-Krom!
Oh yeah 7:37 PM? and the world knows you Viet pimp/parasite true color already! ROFL!!!
Go home Viet, tail between your legs, Go home Viet!!!
Cut the bullshit, 12:36, just give us a few names of Ah Khmer-Yuon friends, will ya? So far, "Zip" is their only friend. Who in their right mind will want to have anything to do with immoral morons?
Yet again, another Yuon agent being very angry at the truth.
See what I told you folk, they just have to ruin the fun for all of us. They just have to leave the last comment.
People around the world knows that Youn are infected with bad blood. They cause problems everywhere they go. Ask any Americans, Australians, New Zealanders, cannadians, English...the list goes on and on, and they will tell the same thing.
Correct!
I want to send a clear message to Australian ambassy staff in Phnom Pen to explain to the ambassador about ah youn problem properly.
