Phnom Penh, Cambodia | Cambodia aims to finalize the drafting of an ASEAN Human Rights Declaration this year as it chairs the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, Cambodian Human Rights Committee chairman Om Yin Tieng said.

"This is a big job and needs a lot of discussions. However, we are confident that we can finalize it by this year," said Om Yin Tieng, who is also a senior minister and chair of the ASEAN Inter-governmental Commission on Human Rights in 2012.

He said the commission would hold its first meeting on the declaration in Siem Reap on January 8 and 9, immediately ahead of a meeting of ASEAN foreign ministers.


Human rights group Amnesty International called Friday for ASEAN institutions to make public and accessible a draft of the declaration.

"An inclusive drafting process, taking into account input from civil society and any other interested individuals or groups, is crucial for the Declaration. The ASEAN Human Rights Declaration concerns every woman, man and child in the region, and it is only natural that they should be given an opportunity to have their say," a statement said.

The group said it was "disappointed by the secrecy surrounding the drafting process so far. Not a single piece of substantive information on the process has been officially shared, and even the Terms of Reference of the Drafting Group have been kept confidential."

Om Yin Tieng said the upcoming meeting of the commission was an internal meeting.

In the last 70 years, any wars in Cambodia were created by Vietnam to make Khmers fight Khmers (Khmers Vietminh), to make Khmer kill each other. This tricky Vietnam is great at maneuvering Khmers to fight each other.

Why after 1979, Cambodia has peace?
Cambodia has peace because Vietnam has installed a puppet government to follow strictly its orders. During this peace, look at the exploitation of Khmer natural resource by Vietnam, the mass influx of Vietnamese into Cambodia, Hun Sen's ratification of Koh Trol to Vietnam, land and maritime border encroachment by Vietnam, etc...

If the CPP lost the election, Vietnam will lose full control of Cambodia. Then you will see immediately a new fake civil war deploys by Vietnam. The ultimate goal of Vietnam is to make Khmer people suffer until Vietnam gets all Khmer land.

So, you should think about what I just said. Is it true or not?

Concerning the opposition parties, if they are nationalist, they should put their self interest behind by integrating their party into the existing big party. Forget about those dawn small difference.

Look at the US which has over 300 million people, how many political parties do they have?

I am a Khmer and I am not belonged to any political parties, but I must say that Kem Sokha is simply a piece of shit right now. What is wrong when his party joins Sam Rainsy party and after Sam Rainsy wins the election, he breaks away from Sam Rainsy and create another party? If Sam Rainsy does not do a good job, his new party will have a chance to win. Can Kem Sokha do that to avoid playing Vietnam’s game?

I am so sick and tired with those dumb and selfish Khmer politicians who unconsciously serve the expansionist Vietnam interest.

Wake up Mr. Kem Sokha and reevaluate your strategy. Lose to Khmer is better than lose to Vietnam and lose Cambodia to Vietnam.
