Zero duty status subject to labour laws implement

Fibre2fashion News Desk (India)

Moeun Tola, chief of the Labour Programme Unit at the Community Legal Education Centre in Cambodia, has called on the US Congress to provide zero duty access to Cambodian exports, subject to that it meets minimum labour standards.

He said, concession should be granted along the lines of Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein's Trade Act of 2009. This is the third such bill to go before the Senate, following the Trade Act of 2005 and the Trade Act of 2007, both of which failed.

He argued for benchmarks to be set in line with international and national labour standards and called on US government to put pressure on Cambodia to fully implement its labour laws and pass its long-awaited anti-corruption law.

The Trade Act 2009 extends zero duty access to 14 least developed countries (LDCs), one of which is Cambodia.

    Sometimes the Buddha's words sould be left aside when we have to deal with an atheist from birth, like Hun Sen. It doesn't matter how often one tries to preach the atheist from birth the Buddha's valuable words, it seems just like one pours the water on a duck's head: it won't hold the water.
    This atheist has been intoxicated with power, money, and pride which blind him to reality. And because he is scared of the truth, he chose to use absolute power to the extreme . . .until one day he will end up with losing all in disgrace.

    UNDER AGE CHILD SEX
    Cambodian People's Party Hun Sen Khmer Rouge Regime had committed under age child sex.
    Svay Sitha is a senior government official from Cambodian People's Party.
    Svay Sitha had a sexual relationship with Tat Marina, she was only 16 years old.

    ACID ATTACK ON TAT MARINA
    Cambodian People's Party Hun Sen Khmer Rouge Regime had committed acid attack.
    "On December 5, 1999, Tat Marina, age 16, was severely disfigured in an acid attack in Phnom Penh. The attack was allegedly committed by Khun Sophal, the wife of a senior government official, Svay Sitha, because she was angry her husband had a sexual relationship with Tat Marina. Neither Khun Sophal nor those suspected of being her accomplices in the attack were brought to justice. Intense media publicity compelled the Phnom Penh Municipal Court to issue an arrest warrant for Khun Sophal for attempted murder, but the police claimed that they could not locate her, although journalists reported that she was living at home as usual."

    TORTURE AND MURDER ON PRAK SITHA WHILE IN CUSTODY BY MISNISTRY OF INTERIOR OFFICIAL
    Cambodian People's Party Hun Sen Khmer Rouge Regime had committed torture and murder.
    "On the night of January 16, 2003, a street youth named Prak Sitha was beaten to death at the Ministry of Interior (MOI) headquarters after he was arrested and detained by off-duty MOI officers on suspicion of theft. His body - bearing numerous injuries to the head, torso, arms, and legs - was dumped at a Phnom Penh pagoda the following morning by ministry officers, in violation of police regulations regarding deaths in custody. No criminal charges were filed in connection with this death. In December 2004, the case was cited by the UN secretary-general's special representative for human rights in Cambodia - who stated that Prak Sitha died at the ministry "following beatings by a known police officer" - as an example of a "consistent and continuing pattern of impunity" in Cambodia."

Mean Sokchea, in a drunken stupor, fired his gun and apparently mistakenly hit Put Samphors in the stomach. She was taken to a hospital but later died of her wounds. Mean Sokchea was detained by the police overnight but was then released, allegedly after intervention by Hing Bun Heang. Put Samphor's family received US$2,700 from Mean Sokchea, and the police told them that their daughter was shot while authorities were chasing robbers."

    I will answer your question posted at 7:08AM, but first I say this to you, I am not that stupit to not know that this question was a trick, that you want me to answer.
    The question was intent for me to answer about Samdech Hun Sen wasn't it?.

    My answer to you is no, I am not agree with you, becuase not all Khmer Rouges were responsible for the killing of innocent Khmer people. I believe those Khmer Rouges that were defected to Vietnam like Samdech Hun Sen were not responsible for the killing of Khmer people, but instead they were the savior of Khmer people.

    If you are not Khmer Rouge, why do you support Khmer Rouge?
    Thes Meas, I feel that you are lying.

    You are not agree that Khmer Rouge kill innocent Khmer peoples, who kill innocent Khmer peoples?
    Thes Meas, I feel that you are lying.

    You said you are not stupid, how come you don't know how to spell the word stupid?
    Thes Meas, I feel that you are lying.

    All Khmer Rouges are responsible for killing innocent Khmer peoples, not only five Khmer Rouges.  Do you understand?
    I would like to remind you that there are almost two million innocent Khmer peoples had been murder.
    Thes Meas, I feel that you are lying.

    Why are you defend Hun Sen, a Khmer Rouge who is one of the peoples that responsible for killing innocent Khmer peoples?
    Thes Meas, I feel that you are lying.

    How did you know that Hun Sen is not responsible for killing innocent Khmer peoples?
    Thes Meas, I feel that you are lying.

    If I understand you correctly according to you, Hun Sen did not kill any innocent Khmer peoples, how did you acquire this information?
    Thes Meas, I feel that you are lying.

    According to Document Center of Cambodia, Hun Sen and others Khmer Rouge soldiers when to a hospital to slash patient's throat and throw grenade intended to kill them.  Hun Sen is responsible for killing innocent Khmer peoples during Khmer Rouge Regime.  Hun Sen murders innocent Khmer peoples during Khmer Rouge Regime. 
    Source:  Document Center of Cambodia

    Even until today, Hun Sen continue to rules Cambodia with his Khmer Rouge Regime.

    Hun Sen continue to kill innocent Khmer peoples.  One good example would be Grenade Attack on March 30, 1997.
