Today, we, joining with other Cambodian worldwide, appeal to Thailand, Vietnam, and Laos to abide, conform, conduct, and observe the above terms and conditions that they signed on October 23rd, 1991 in Paris. Especially at this present moment when there is a dangerous border conflict with Thailand. Thailand is currently violating Cambodian territory surrounding the historical Preah Vihear Temple which the International Court in the Hague decided in the verdict in 1962 that the Temple belongs to Cambodia. Vietnam has not respected and continue to violate Cambodia sovereignty, independence, and territorial integrity by forcing Cambodia to accept the incompatible border treaties made during Vietnam occupation. Vietnam also has been interfering in Cambodia internal affairs by sending millions of illegal Vietnamese immigrants to destabilize Cambodian economic and social fabric.

yes, khmer people from all over the world should remind youn and siem to respect the paris accord. good for cambodia. everyone of us can help to make a real difference, really.
Thank you so much for your posting KY, for your relevant information in order to bring cambodians from all corners to focus on our national constitution.
For the spirit of Cambodia, all cambodians strongly endorse it, with support from RGC and international communities to fully implement our constitution for integrity,sovereingnty, peace and prosperity as intended on 1991 agreement.
Neang SA
we khmer shald remind vietnam, thai and the world that must respect cambodian sovereinty in order to be consider as civilized nation.
And not like nation of crooks and crooked ways.
The Paris agreements of 1991 reflected the recognition that in 1989 the power political can not be won by force by any of the Khmer factions.
In Cambodia, with the end of the Cold War and is especially lassitude, weariness, and suffering of the Khmer fighters who drove all Khmer factions to come together around a table to end the 30 year civil war and decide that political power must now be fighting through free elections.
Free elections in 1993 and 1998 concluded that the victory of political parties CCP and FUNCINPEC. The Khmer faction pro-Western has lost almost all free elections.
That is also the Paris Agreements of 1991.
Also note that in the Paris agreements of 1991, the Khmer faction pro-Western has no merit because its military was ridiculous against the forces of former Communist military Khmer.
The current political stability and peace found today in cambodia are due more to political alliances monarchists and former Khmer Rouge party PPC that the Sam Rainsy Party.
and the government that comes from this free elections set up by the Paris Agreements of 1991 does its not has the legitimacy to lead the national and international policy and negotiates and signs international treaties?
Evoking the Paris Agreements of 1991 for criticizing today political royal government is a political attitude irresponsible.
Sam Rainsy Party, which evokes to day the Paris Agreements of 1991 for criticizing government policy shows that this political party has no political plan credible and serious (economic policy, social policy, international politics) to propose Cambodia .
The only policy practiced by the Sam Rainsy Party, which is a very minority party in cambodia today is the criticism of government policy for the pleasure of criticizing, the disinformation, the incitement to racial hatred among Cambodian and Vietnamese allies CCP to create division in Khmer and political destabilization in cambodia.
This policy irresponsible and suicidal practiced by the Sam Rainsy Party made directly to the political game nationalist Thai and encourage nationalists thais not to seek a peaceful resolution on the issue of Preah Vihear with Cambodia.
The real problem for all other opposition political leaders khmer is to know if Sam Rainsy is still credible to lead the political opposition to win the elections in 2013.
