WASHINGTON DC - A group of Cambodian-Americans says the United Nations should consider suspending Cambodia’s seat, in the wake of the expulsion of 29 lawmakers from the National Assembly earlier this month.

Critics of the expulsion say it has cost the Assembly its legitimacy and has made it legally impossible to hold sessions.

“The parliament in Cambodia is invalid,” said Prom Saunora, a political analyst from Virginia. “The United Nations can now pull out the [Assembly] representatives from the Cambodian People’s Party…because it is illegal. These representatives’ seats today are invalid.”

The CPP-dominated Assembly expelled 29 opposition lawmakers from the Sam Rainsy and Human Rights parties earlier this month, claiming they had given up their seats when they joined up with the Cambodia National Rescue Party to contest the elections in July. Legal analysts have said the move was unlawful, because the constitution does not allow representatives to be removed from their seats within six months of their terms ending.

Schanley Kuch, a political analyst from Maryland, said the expulsions were also against international norms.

“The United Nations will consider this,” he said. “They will monitor closely Cambodia’s activities. And if they see that the government seems to have moved too far from UN laws and rules, stipulated to its members, they will pull their seat away.”

That seems very unlikely for now, said John Ciorciari, a professor of public policy at the University of Michigan.

However, he said, Cambodia’s diplomatic and domestic policies can affect its ability to be voted into UN agencies, like the Security Council or the Human Rights Council.

“That makes sense,” he said. “States should consider candidates’ policy records when electing them to key global bodies that deliver both power and prestige.”

“Cambodia tried without success for a Security Council seat in 2012, and if it seeks membership in key organizations, it has an added reason to demonstrate its commitment to the rule of law, both at home and abroad,” he said.

Other UN officials say it takes an egregious violation of the UN charter to be expelled, and requires a proposal by permanent members like the US to take place. The UN did suspend Cambodia’s seat in 1997, following a violent coup by the Cambodian People’s Party, which put Prime Minister Hun Sen in power.

Still, the Assembly expulsion has drawn round criticism from the international community. The US has called on the Assembly to reinstate the lawmakers or risk damaging Cambodia’s democratic process.

from what it sounds, the opposition has a tendency to walk out and irregularly show up for work at their own will, so the majority decided to expulse them anyway. again, stop being biased and be gullible only from one-side and not do your homework and find out the truth. they don't just expulse for no reason, you know! why don't you hear from the other side to see what they have to say, instead of buying your believe from the biased group without verify. that's the stupidity on your part as well, really!

agreed, UN go where the superpower tell them. They watch as KR, Youn, Hun Sen thugs killed Khmers. In Bosnia UN watched as thousands Muslim civilians are been genocide by Serbs. In Rwanda UN watched as millions Hutu are been killed by Tutsi. In this world no one care for you more than yourself.

VC, Chinese and CPP traitor crooks continue to control srok khmers until we are doomed. Soon, Hun Sen will yell out, ah 'crocodile' just like all of our predecessors did. They are very good at lying, decieving and manipulating. Now they are trying to make Hun Sen turn against his own people just like they did before and they will continue to do it again and again.

They are evils of the Southeast Asia. The world will not be at peace if both VC and Chinese crooks are out of their existence, because they are full of shit. They don't have social democracy at all. They are dictators! I suggest every nation should join together to eliminate those two nations out of their existence for good or else, the world will not be at peace.

YES, if done right, the UN can impose severe sanctions against a country, its leaders or entities.
