UN encourages effective parliamentarian and public discussion of the draft Anti-Corruption law and any future law as a normal part of any legislative and democratic process
Wednesday, March 10, 2010
The UN country team in Cambodia welcomes the consideration by the National Assembly of the long-awaited Anti-Corruption law. It notes with concern that an extra-ordinary session was convened only days after the draft was shared publicly with parliamentarians. To its knowledge, no draft law has been shared with interested stakeholders, including civil society, since 2006.
The UNCT has been actively supporting the enactment of this significant piece of legislation since 2004. The draft Anti-Corruption law should undergo a transparent and participatory consultation process to ensure that it is consistent with international standards as required by the Constitution and contain sufficient safeguards to protect the rights and duties of Cambodian people who will be the ultimate beneficiaries of this law.
Given the high interest manifested for this law by many stakeholders, the UNCT hopes that it is not too late, and encourages the National Assembly to allow sufficient time for Parliamentarians, civil society, donors and the UN to study the law so that if and where deemed necessary, amendments may be proposed for consideration. The UNCT also hopes and encourages the National Assembly and the Senate to debate the law, with the possibility to amend the draft if and where considered relevant. It is in the interest of the legislative, and its positive contribution to the reconstruction effort, that this and future legislations are effectively debated both inside and outside parliament prior to adoption.

The shortsighted government of the CPP think that if other stakeholders take part in creating something good in Cambodia, the CPP team will loss face...this is the CPP of the blind leading the blind.
Not only any important law, the border delineation and agreement with VN was lonely conducted by the CPP.
shit talk,
Wondering if un staffs talk or negotiate with criminals in their countries and not judge them, kill them or put them in jail
as long as these people maintain this kind of base political system or dictators to kill innocent people, the world can barely get head out of violence and hatred
