UN rapporteur sees progress in Cambodian rights

"We are not a hell, like UN reports have mentioned, and we have not yet become a heaven of human rights" - Om Yentieng, a top adviser to Hun Sen and the chief of government's human rights committee

PHNOM PENH, Jan 19 (AFP) - The UN special rapporteur for human rights to Cambodia said he held "constructive" talks with Prime Minister Hun Sen Tuesday in his controversial position.

Surya Subedi, who was appointed to the job last year after his predecessor Yash Ghai resigned under a war of words with the Cambodian government, said he discussed a wide range of rights issues in a two-hour meeting with the premier.

"It was very constructive dialogue," Surya, who arrived in the country on Monday for a 13-day visit to the kingdom, told reporters after the meeting.

"I discussed the issue of land evictions, freedom of expression and better cooperation between the civil society sector and the government," Surya said.

"We are looking at the total picture of human rights situation in Cambodia," he added. "I think some progress has been made even this morning. So I am very pleased with the outcome."

Om Yentieng, a top adviser to Hun Sen and the chief of government's human rights committee, urged UN officials to give up "old ways" criticising the Cambodian government on rights issues.

"We are not a hell, like UN reports have mentioned, and we have not yet become a heaven of human rights," Om Yentieng told reporters.

Yash Ghai, a Kenyan lawyer, resigned as special representative for human rights to Cambodia in September in 2008 after government officials refused to meet him and Hun Sen called the envoy rude, stupid and a "god without virtue".

Last month UN rights experts called Cambodia's expulsion of 20 Chinese Muslim Uighur asylum seekers "a blatant violation" of anti-torture rules.

The Cambodian government has faced mounting criticism for a spate of forced evictions throughout the country over the past few years at the hands of army and police.

The Cambodian administration has also been heavily criticised by rights groups over the past year for launching a number of defamation and disinformation lawsuits against critics and opposition members.

Last time when Surya Predecessor visited Cambodia Hun Sen blasted or lashed out at Yash Ghai and can't corrupted Mr. Yash Ghai, Hun Sen scolded him.

Now this guy is easy than Mr. Yash Ghai because Surya is praising Hun Sen regime is improving Cambodian rights.

This Surya guy is good, much better than Yas Gai. At least he know human psychology. He doesn't make blame up front, he praise a bit, and push a bit, that is how you can get things done. If you come up and start to blame and curse the government, then HS do not meet or listen to the UN, nothing can accomplish.

Why Cambodia political alway try to blame eather other they never show the futher of our children. As politicial you must repected the legacy for the past regime. when you be come the leader you can change what ever it good for the nation. If you want the respectfull from the Cambodian people you must respect the interest of the wholl nation. People khown that who is good and who is bad. If you want the permanent power in Cambodia you must show people the fact. Most of the leader of Cambodia presently allway lied to their owne people. You can not hide, if someone work as your secret or personal person, he or she will khown it you lied to the people or not. How much you love the nation/ most of the leader bader than the innocent people. is the fact in Cambodia. Now do not blame HUN SEN, Look, at YOU HOCKRY, SUN CHANTHOL, RANARITH, KEM SOKHA, EANG MOLLY, SAM REAKSY and lot of people more if you work in Cambodia in 1993 until now you khown who is corruted or not. So do not blame eather other we need united to builed our nation together. Khmer Soth, USA

If your guays do not like Hun sen leadership, you need to play smart politic by working good relationship with all NON government organisations, all international organisations and all foreign governments. You will not gain anything if you are swearing on them. If you used your bad attitude and your swearing languages, you will be targeted by them as an uncivilised group.

From time to time those guy and SRP fellows have no ways to exaggerate and mislead innocent local people anymore. Their political business is completely ended with the wisdom guy Mr. UN ( Surya ) and they will return to their old jobs, esp. SRP members, by some become moto-drivers, some become fortune teller and some become car brokers and some returning to their paddy field... Bravoo Mr. UN representative, you are the right person to work for Cambodia.

9:35AM, Idiot! Cambodian very very soon under Viet colony within Hun Xen regimes. Cambodia will not be safe as long as your master, ah kwak kbot cheat in power.

Everyone keep blaming opposition and saying to work together among the traitor CPP. If CPPs have that same mind our country will not in this situation. This is why opposition keep opposing them. They always doing the wrong things to its people and nation.

This is how people perspective:
For example, father left a full cup of drinking water on the floor and when the kid accidently trip over, spilled the water. The father blaming on the kid for not watch where they going.

In reverse, when the kid left the cup on the floor and the father accidently trip, spilled the water. The father blaming on the kid for putting the cup on the floor, walking path where it's not suppose to be.

The moral is the kid always wrong regardless.

This is how the Cambodian government point of view with the opposition or whoever disagree with them. Like when Mr. Rainsy uproot the border post. They blame him for his action but never see they are at fault. This is the problem in our country. The government are unethical.

If Hun Sen Hun Sen choose not to look in the mirror to see dirt on his face, he will not wipe them off. If Hun Sen keep denying fault how can he change. If Hun Sen don't change how can others patriot work aside him.

In conclusion, Hun Sen, the ruling government will not accept and work with opposition and or other organization other then CPP. This is obvious! So people need to stop blaming on others for unable to work with Hun Sen. It is easy to say then done.

1:33PM, Are you poetry? I assume that you are good at narrative and you must specialize in fiction producer as SRP always did. Mr. Xam Run Shit's case is far different from your cup story, this is lawsuit case that he must be respecting. If Xam Ran Shit can do such regardless law enforcement, then everyone can do so. Ok, if Mr. Xam Ran Shit is 100% patriotism, why don't he take all his families and his SRP fellows including you Mr. 1:33PM by bringing along with concrete or wooden poles to install along the Cambodia-Siem boundary that we are losing during CIVIL War? or you and Xam Ran Shit think that we have not lost any piece of our land to Siem or Siem has not take our land? Please try to check in balance!! Don't just say as your thoughtless!!

Hey fake Khmer!ahahhahahahh

What are you saying? If Sam Rainsy in power he will invoke the World Court, the UN and international law and international community, the Asean...to what had been done to Cambodia under the Vietcong puppet regime!

By the way I don't see AH HUN SEN Vietcong puppet government take the fucken time to prove what Mr. Sam Raisy had done is wrong beside accusing him of destruction of public property and racial discrimination? Racial discrimination for uprooting border post?? I don't know about that. ahahhahhaahah

I want to see some careful measurement, Cambodian international map, and the law base on international law before accusing Mr. Sam Rainsy of something out of this world!

Tell me is it right by jailing dirt poor Cambodian farmer for complaining about loosing their farm land to the Vietcong encroachment? Is it right?

Tell me that you are a dumn ass Khmer, stupid Khmer, Vietcong slave Khmer, and all the above!

12:42AM I agree! The map they used is from 83,84,and 86. This map was created by Viet to steal Khmer land after Khmer Rouge Regime and were already void when signed the Paris Peace Accord in 91. Therefore, the border post is illegal. That is why the government and Viet had took down additionals illegal post along that area. But still charge Mr. Rainsy and the villagers because they have the power although it is illegal and unethical.

Ah 2:46PM, You really think those border post is leget? Those border post are illegally post on Khmer farmland, private property. The Cabodia Constitution stated: the legal owner of the property can remove or ask others to remove. In short words, your government don't know the law and or use the law but used absolute power and take the illegal, unethical action against Mr. Rainsy and the villagers.

I'll stop here before it gets too long. IDIOT 12:46PM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
