Phnom Penh - The United Nations said Wednesday that Cambodia's Khmer Rouge tribunal must be free from political interference and insisted all parties respect the judicial process.
That was in reaction to comments by Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen, who told UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon on Wednesday that the international war crimes court would only be allowed to prosecute four Khmer Rouge leaders currently in custody.
UN spokesman Yves Sorokobi said Ban, who is in Cambodia on an official visit, had told Hun Sen at their meeting that deciding who to prosecute remained the responsibility of the court.
'We have to give [court officials] the space that they need to make the proper decision,' Sorokobi said. 'There should be no political interference with their work.'
Earlier on Wednesday Hun Sen told Ban he wanted the UN's human rights office to close, something Sorokobi said the secretary-general would take into consideration, since the presence of a human rights office was a matter of mutual agreement.
But when it came to Hun Sen's demand that the UN fire the country head of its Cambodian human rights office, Sorokobi said that was an entirely different matter.
'Pulling staff out of a particular country or not is a matter of internal personnel issues,' he said. 'In the meantime we fully stand by the work of the human rights commissioner and by her representatives around the world including here.'
Minister of Information Khieu Kanharith said earlier that Hun Sen had a number of reasons - including a perceived threat to political stability - for opposing the prosecutions of five more former Khmer Rouge cadres.
The Khmer Rouge is considered responsible for the deaths of up to 2.2 million people in the 1970s. The tribunal was established to try senior surviving leaders and those considered most responsible for crimes of that period.
Also on Wednesday police dispersed dozens of people facing eviction who had gathered on the roads on which Ban's motorcade was travelling. Earlier this week they petitioned the UN for a meeting with the secretary-general.
Land-grabbing and evictions are an issue in Cambodia, with tens of thousands of people thrown off their land in recent years. On Monday the activist organization Human Rights Watch called on Ban to address the issue.
Ban arrived in Phnom Penh late Tuesday and visited the tribunal on Wednesday. Earlier this year, the court convicted former Khmer Rouge security chief Comrade Duch of war crimes and crimes against humanity.
The UN chief is scheduled to depart on Thursday for Vietnam, where he will attend a summit between the United Nations and the regional Association of South-East Asian Nations bloc. He will conclude his current Asian tour in China.

They will never give UN the right full to put the nose into this issue because Hun, Sihanouk and of their followers committed the killing fields. That is why Hun Xen has always rejected the real court. He must react like the USforces did with Sadam Hussen in Iraq.
You are able to pay Ranarith but not Ban Ki Moon, thief..
we do hope that is the nice pic for the former khmer rouge involed with the killing fields in Cambodia .

You can kiss Hun Sen's stinky asshole, lick his shit and drink his urine, but don't tell any of us who are fighting for more freedom in Cambodia to accept to do what you are willing to do.
We are a coward like you. We want changes and freedom and we will fight by whatever mean we have.
Correction of above statement "We are a coward like you"
---> We are not a coward like you.
Get rid off Hun Sen and CPP regime once for ALL !!! People Power.
Som rainsy never need Cambodia get peaceful.He just to make the trouble all the time.
What is this pagoda boy thinking? Everyone has no rights but he has all the rights?
Don't interfere with the court decision. The court is for every country to respect.
Well done UN! keep going Hun Sen is getting nervous. The whole of Khmer people is behind you Mr. Ban.
We must rid Cambodia of dictator. I can feel that Hun Sen is feeling the heat and worrying now.
How many UN representatives have Hun Sen rejected? If he rejected once or twice it is probably ok, but if he rejected more than twice something is wrong with the idiotic Hun Sen, but not the representatives. Don’t treat them like your cronies, it is not going to work, ok, Ah Atch Ko Hun Sen.

8:55 AM , I agree with you.
For Hun Sen he might think that :
1 Five ( 5 ) million of illegal Vietnamese living in Cambodia will vote for him again and again to legitimize his puppet regime is enough .
2 . Yuon solders in Hun Sen uniform will crush any peaceful demonstration . as they did to Ranarridh in 5-6 july 1997, Hand Grenade Attacked in 1997, Peaceful huge demonstration against election cheating led by Sam Rainsy in 1998. Land grab.Forced eviction , Dey Krahorm ect. is enough for him.

Ah juoy marai Hun Sen, do you also want to assassinate the United Nation Secretary General (Ban Ki-Moon)?
The reason why I'm asking is because you likes to assassinate your opponents.
