The United States government had indirectly asked the Cambodian government to improve its shortcomings in relations to the application of democracy and the respect for human rights in accordance with international standards and regulations, reports Radio Free Asia.
The indirect request was made by Mrs. Carol Rodley (pictured), U.S Ambassador to Cambodia, in a speech after opposition leader Sam Rainsy and two villagers were convicted and sentenced to jail term after they protested about border encroachments by Vietnam. "We praise all fields that have improved relating to democracy and human rights and we regret the worsening in other fields such as the deterioration of democracy and human rights", she said through a translator.
The Cambodian government has come under heavy criticism from human rights groups, civil society and critics in relations to its human rights records, forced evictions, land grabbing, arrests and intimidation of opposition activists, human rights activists and the use of court to suppress freedom of expression against opposition parties etc.
Mrs. Rodley had also acknowledged in the improvement in some fields as well. "There have been improvements in some fields and deterioration in others", she said.
Mrs. Rodley also said she is following the trials of opposition Sam Rainsy and other two villagers very closely. “We are closely following this trial, and it’s not just trials involving politicians and VIPs, but also on various other trials as well. All trials should be conducted with transparency and fairness”, she added.
She did not want to elaborate on Mr. Rainsy's trial, however she hopes the Appeal Court could be fair and transparent. “I think that if this case reaches the Appeal court, and if the Appeal court could be transparent, just and fair [then it would be a good sign]”, she said.
Prof. Surya Subedi, UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights in Cambodia who had visited Cambodia from 18th to 30th January, said that human rights situations in Cambodia had been slowly improving. However, he said that human rights situations in Cambodia had not been up to the standards and benchmarks set by international conventions which Cambodia had been a signatory to.
Mr. Om Yintieng, chairman of the government-appointed Human Rights Commission, quoted recently by the media as saying that Cambodia has not yet become a hell of human rights and Cambodian not yet become a heaven of human rights either.

The Ambassador should be more straight forward and tell Hun Sen in his face that the recent kangaroo court cases against Rainsy and the 2 villagers are not acceptable under international legal norms.
Hun Sen is a thug, so he can't understand diplomatic language, he only understand strong and straight forward and thuggish language. So, the U.S must stop using diplomatic language with him. Tell him right in his face that he is a human rights abuser!
May Buddha bless you dear all people!

I agree, diplomat tactic does not understood by the tyrant government. Those traitr only can understand jungle languages. Like ah kwak kbot cheat hun sen.
12:51PM, You can not totally blame on US. Know your history! It's all ah Sihanouk faults. It's nothing new about Sihanouk stupidity so I won't say much...
11:34,
I don't understand why you blame Sihanouk ?
This man is a looser polititian and that's all.
With or without his agreement, Vietnameses invaded Cambodia.
With or without Lon Nol agreement, USA bombed Cambodia.
You should blame Yuons, they are bad, they want to swallow Cambodia.
What I regret is had been with Americans against communists and finally in 1975 what they had done.
I just google and notice that 95% of Cambodian males is gay, 60% of them has a small dick, so they chose to work as whores for the White farang to bang their ass to get a life. If you are a Cambodian and has a bad time with your tiny dick, please consider us at:

GOOD HOPES Mrs. Carol Rodley !!!!
Hun Sen Government never wanted to jail Sam Rainsy or othe MP! Why they need to do thos thing then?
If Mrs Embassador can look back to Vietname war and you put it in Hun sen version! It's been called " HIT AND RUN TACTIC" .
they hit as hard but without commited to get caught, responsible but they do achive a great phychological damage to the one they call enemy!
In case of Cambodia now a day! the just want to suppress Cambodia to stand for their right and democracy!
The strong massage is you do thing CPP do not like you go to jail! if any body ( Iternational Community ) help you you are already a wef day in jail boys!
The Hun Sen new kind of communist, dictatorship goverment will go along way with this guarila tactic!
Cambodian will suffereng forever , Mrs Ambassador!!!
I HOPE LIGHTNING WOULD STRIKE HUN SEN AND TUGS JUST LIKE WHAT IT DID TO HOK LANDY!!!!!!
12:28PM
Sihanouk has choice ?
He try to finish his live and his politic live the least bitterly possible.
Why don't we just forget him, he is dying.
Vietcongs fucked him,
Khmer rouges fucked him,
Vietnameses fucked him,
Hun Sen is fucking him
..
Tell me who help propped up AH HUN SEN Vietcong slave government since 1980. You guess it right it is Uncle SAM. While other Khmer nationalist don't even stand a chance!
This is called the balance of power! It doesn't matter how much Uncle SAM hate the Vietcong government but Uncle SAM do need the Vietcong to annoy China and Cambodia is being holding hostage in the game of balance of power!
This is so sad for all Cambodian people and Cambodia will always be the land of misery! There will be no peace in the region!
My enemy is my friend and my friend is my enemy!
Some people are shortsighted by blaming American alone for Cambodia destruction. To me, China is more to blame for helping Pol Pot win the war in 1975 and without Pol Pot in power, 2 Millions of Khmer people were not perished. I'm not surprised by these individuals shortsighted as they either:
Sihanouk or his supporters or
Khmer Rouge themselves or
Hun Sen and his supporters or
Chinese or
Vietnamese
The conflict in Cambodia in the 1970's was caused by many factors involving many countries and not just by U.S. alone.
Vietnameses invaded Cambodia. They want Cambodia to be Vietnam part. Then they are bad.
China did not killed Khmers, China helped Pol Pot, Pol Pot killed Khmers, China helped Khmer rouges and Sihanouk to liberate Cambodia from Yuons, then China is not bad.
USA IMPOSED Khmers to fight Vietcong, 5 years after, bye bye, Americans are bad. USA helped also Sihanouk and KR to fight against Yuons.

1:02 AM
UNTIL I FUCK HIM TOO! THAN HE CAN BE FINISH!
1:47AM
From 1970-1975, I sucked American penis.
In 1975, Americans leaved and I fell fucked by Americans.
If I blame Sihanouk once, I blame Americans 10 times because now I understand that for Americans, Cambodians are just a piece shit.
3:46AM! American is a nother nation. They may or will fuck you up any time!
Since a notion have no physical body, you may suck something else in 1970 or you just sucked the dick of a gay american!
I can not plame a stupid head like you!
But Shihanouk! the old fool must come and say the thruth of what he know and did!
Hey! 3:46 AM! you may suck the dick of american dog that use to catch Vietcon!
USA always voices concerns on human rights issues with other countries on the globe. However, USA has hardly looked into human rights issues in own country. I.e. those alledged terrorists in Gantanamo Bay, the capital punishment (most industrial countries don't beleive in that but USA still practice by gas chamber and lethal injection). Really good example of people (USA) who love democracy and human rights
4:34AM1 do you undestand about laws, agreement, resposible?
Go get real scholl fool1 your PhD from Hanoi is SHIT!
4:58 AM
I think I do understand about laws, agreement, and responsible more than you.
You did miss the point I am talking here - USA is proclaimed to be everything about democracy and human rights but what they preach and practice are two different thing subject to their intepretation.
You may want to look closely and follow up than you will learn something.
