Philippine Senate Unanimously Adopts a Resolution on Cambodia

L to R: MPs Sam Rainsy and Saumura Tioulong with Senator Franklin Drilon

The Philippine Senate unanimously adopted a resolution last 17 September 2012 supporting the United Nations recommendations for the organization of the national elections in Cambodia, which are scheduled to take place next year.

The resolution stated that "...the Philippine Senate is in full support of efforts that will help promote the conduct of legitimate political activities by all political parties in a free and fair manner." It added that "...the report of the UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights has also put forward specific recommendations to support preparations for the Cambodian national polls to be held in July 2013 and that consideration of these is crucial" (see here the full text of the resolution).

This comes a week after the launch of the International Parliamentary Committee for Democratic Elections in Cambodia (IPCDEC) in Manila.


The IPCDEC, chaired by Philippine Senator Franklin Drilon, is an international organization grouping Members of Parliament from all over the world. It was formed to support legitimate demands of the Sam Rainsy Party and the Human Rights Party. These demands, which are in line with UN recommendations, are: (1) the reform of the National Election Committee (NEC); and (2) the return of Opposition Leader Sam Rainsy to Cambodia to take part in the forthcoming elections.

The UN recommendations are contained in a Report by the UN's Special Rapporteur on Human Rights in Cambodia published last August (see full report here). The report calls for an overhaul of the leadership and the composition of the NEC so as to include balanced representation from all political parties represented in the National Assembly, with consensus required for any important decisions (for the report's summary relating to electoral organization, see here). The UN also calls for a political resolution of Sam Rainsy's case in order to open the way for his return and for his free and full participation in the election process.

"I am grateful to Philippine President Benigno Aquino III for discussing the situation in Cambodia with me, and to other Filipino leaders from different political parties for their support for democracy in Cambodia, as evidenced by the Philippine Senate Resolution", said Sam Rainsy. "I am also grateful to Indonesia's Foreign Minister Marty Natalegawa for receiving me last week in Jakarta and for the fruitful discussion we had", he added.

9:35 PM has no ideas that hidden Dumb Yuon Dog Eaters everywhere, pretending to be anyone else. Just keep in mind that there are many hidden Dumb Yuon Dog Eaters' faces in Khmer Rouges uniforms killing millions of highly and well educated Khmer people, ethnic Cham, ethnic Chinese and more. So, don't forget the trick of your own Dumb Yuon Dog Eaters hiding among Khmer society to create the very dirty and disgusted plans to murder anyone. If hidden Dumb Yuon Dog Eaters in Srok Khmer/Cambodia kill Americans, then they blame Khmer/Cambodian innocent folks instead. How dumb are you, Dumb Yuon Dog Eater?


And 2:14 AM are still talking trash because this Dumb Yuon Dog Eater used too much cocaine and too much drug.
