Cambodia: Twenty Years after Peace - Symposium at UC Berkeley

October 31, 2011

Dear Community Leader:

In collaboration with the Center for Southeast Asian Studies, the Human Rights Center, The Institute for International Studies, and International and Area Studies, the Asian American and Asian Diaspora Studies Program will be hosting a symposium at Berkeley on November 19, 2011 to mark the 20th anniversary of the Paris Peace Accords.

The symposium will look at present day Cambodia, 20 years after this historic agreement. It brings together key “history makers”, academics and researchers, policy analysts, and rights advocates to discuss critical issues facing present day Cambodia in four critical areas, namely law and democracy,economic development and human security, human rights, and the role of diasporas in peace and democracy building and national reconstruction.

We hope that you can join us in this important convening.

Sincerely,

Professor Khatharya Um
Conference Chair
University of California, Berkeley
