Letter to The Phnom Penh Post
Dear Editor,
The current visit to Cambodia by United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon constitutes a unique opportunity to take stock of the UN legacy to Cambodia since the international body got involved in the conclusion of the Paris Agreement on Cambodia in 1991 and subsequently exercised, in the framework of the UN Transitional Authority in Cambodia, the “powers to ensure the implementation of this Agreement, including those relating to the organization and conduct of free and fair elections and the relevant aspects of the administration of Cambodia” during the transitional period (1991-1993).
Because the foundations of a modern and democratic state were laid during that crucial transitional period, Cambodia should be grateful to the UN for its pivotal role during that nation-building chapter of its history. UNTAC’s work must be praised given the difficult environment and specific circumstances in which it was achieved. The UN legacy is, overall, definitely positive.
As a member of the Supreme National Council (representing Funcincec after then-Prince Norodom Sihanouk was appointed SNC President), I had the opportunity to work with UNTAC and its head Mr Yasushi Akashi and to realize the delicate balance they had to strike every day during the transitional period.
Cambodia would not be where it stands now without the benefit of the UN legacy.
Unfortunately, everything does not remain positive, and we have to deplore the fact that the UN legacy has been spoiled or perverted in a number of instances. This perversion relates mainly to legislation made in 1992, namely the UNTAC criminal code, which is still in force. Some provisions of the UNTAC law are being misused by the present Cambodian government to commit abuses on government critics, in violation of fundamental freedoms guaranteed by the UN during the transitional period.
Several journalists and civil society activists have been imprisoned in the last few years, and other government critics, including parliamentarians, have been forced to pay heavy fines on the basis of Article 63 of the UNTAC law on “defamation”.
No longer than last month, I was sentenced to 12 years in prison on the basis of Articles 49 and 62 of the same UNTAC law, respectively for “forgery of public document” and “disinformation”.
The government and ruling party try to justify their judicial crackdown on political opponents by claiming legitimacy from the fact they are “only using laws made under the authority of the United Nations” nearly 20 years ago .
In fact, those UN officers who contributed to produce that UNTAC law in 1992 would have never imagined it would be used in such a perverted manner.
To clear the UN responsibility and possibly moral conscience on the face of this perversion and travesty of justice, Secretary General Ban Ki-moon should let the public here know that the UN condemns the way the Cambodian government has been trying to justify the unjustifiable by tracing back to the UN, laws that are just wrongfully interpreted and applied to conduct an unacceptable political repression.

11.30 am,
Yes, because you are blind and see nothing like your neak mean bon hun Xen. You say it tall. Most people don't like Hun Xen but they are scared of the fear politics used on them by Hun Xen.
Do you think if there free and fair elections without harrassment, intimidation, manipulations, and vote-buying, the CPP would win ?
No way will Khmer people find liberty and free themselves from oppression and hunger as log as they are ruled by fear within the CPP controlled environment. Keep voting for Hun Xen and stop crying, Khmer people.

The UNTAC did not work properly in 1992.The Vietnam govt did not pull her troops of Cambodia.now these troops are wearing Khmer soldiers uniforms and speaking Khmer fluently.The UN should redo over again to make sure Vietnamese soldiers and Vietnamese illegal immigrants totally out of Cambodia.The Vietnam govt must respect the rules of international laws without condition.
Why Sam Rainsy is still called himself as member of Parliament? In fact, he is a convicted criminal and fugitive ran away from Cambodia.

Hun Sen and CPP regime have committed crimes against humanity. All khmers, if you don't fight for yourselves, who will.
12:12 PM, I agree with you.
Yuon never withdraw its troops from Cambodia.
What they did during the day in 1989 they invited foreign journalist, foreign newspapers, some UN representative
and show on TV to witness the Vietnamese troops withdrawal out of Cambodia.
But at night when day came back they did not invite andy foreign journalist , foreign newspapers , UN repressentatives or put the show on TV to withness them when they came back into Cambodia to change from yuon solders uniform to Hun Sen Uniform solders.
So that nearly 3 years of hardwork ( after the so-called 1989 yuon troops withdrawal ) 1991 Paris Peace Agreement they specified clearly that :
Must supervise, Monitor and implement yuon troops withdraw from Cambodia.
Why we need to supervise, monitor and complement yuon troops to withdraw its troops from Cambodia
Because 3 signatures from Sihanouk , Mr. Son Sann and Mr. Khieu Samphan knew very well yuon never wihtdraw its troops from Cambodia in 1989.
But sihanouk betrayed the 1991 Paris Peace Agreement that protect Khmer sovereignty, uphold Khmer interest in all fields.
Sihanouk has turning blind eyes to 5 million illegal yuon living in Cambodia.
Million yuon troops in Hun Sen Polices and Military uniform, brutally beaten innocent Khmer people up everyday.
Wake up all Khmer.
Khmer love Khmer.

SOONER OR LATER!
>>>TONLE SAP<<<
ACTION IS LOUDER THAN WORDS!
We must learn to face with our reality.
Mr Sam ransy is still a member of Parliament and is still the leader of opposition party in Cambodia. He was elected at National General election and no one has his right or her right to remove his immunity at all. His immunity will be totally disappeared if he will not be re-elected in the next election. Therefore we cannot write him off and be confused by Hun Sen government. Mr Sam Ransy'problem is his challenge in his political life who he can manage his party into victory at National level and international level.
But I have a message to him that his party shouldn't play only with western countries. He needs to learn how to cooperate with China for his longterm goal in governing Cambodia into the future. If he ignore China and continue to upst China, then his future will not be good. At present, beside of many criminal activities committed by Hun sen and his members, but this groops has played very well in international politic.
Areak Prey
To Ah đồ má con chó LONG LIVE VEIT NAM…
bạn ăn đồ ngu má con chó.
Go back to Vietnam to live your miserable life, Ah đồ má con chó.
To those khmers who have hatred toward Queen Monique please STOP QUEEN mother only wants to see son succeed to be King of Indochina Federation under Ho Chi Minh dream.
She is the most selfish woman in the world, greed, and do not believe she loves a single khmer in this earth. she thinks we are barbarian and ill-literate Khmer. She is vicious. But it is worthless talking about her, she is useless like Ban-shit Bunnrunny Hunsen without going to University, Ph.D?
So leave the poor woman alone. she is not even khmer just to think of it. She was born in Saigon, even if she is she is brain washed by Viet Cong already. One day after her ass died, Viet Nam will jail king sihamoni and that the end of the story.
They still not learning the history that "do not beliving in Viet crock.
THe futture khmer generation....pp
