Rainsy Considers International Complaint Over Election Result


By Khy Sovuthy and Lauren Crothers
The Cambodia Daily, Dec. 14, 2013 

Opposition CNRP President Sam Rainsy on Friday expressed his intention to take his dissatisfaction with the outcome of the July national election, over which his party is boycotting its National Assembly seats, to an international stage.

Speaking at the launch of a detailed election report by the Electoral Reform Alliance (ERA), a coalition of NGOs and monitors, which called the result of the election into question, Mr. Rainsy asked two independent election experts their thoughts about how his party should proceed.

“If I’m not happy, where should I file a complaint?” Mr. Rainsy asked Damuso Magbual, chairman of the Asian Network for Free Elections, and Vladimir Pran, an expert from Democracy Reporting International. “Is there any international jurisdiction in which I can file a complaint?”

Mr. Pran said there is no international court in which Mr. Rainsy could take such action and that the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights does not refer to any kind of complaints mechanism.

But speaking to reporters on the sidelines of the conference Friday, Mr. Rainsy insisted that he still intends to seek help outside Cambodia over the months-long standoff that has seen the opposition’s 55 elected lawmakers refuse to take their seats in parliament.

“I knew, but I just asked them because I wanted to know—in some countries, like in European countries, they can file a complaint to the International Court [of Justice] because they have the European Court of Human Rights, but in Asia, we do not have a similar international court,” Mr. Rainsy said.

The ERA report, which was posted online by the CNRP earlier this month, provides a comprehensive look at several aspects of the elections that the authors said were enough to “undermine confidence in the electoral process and its outcome, the extent to which the ERA cannot determine particularly without the disclosure of relevant data by government bodies.”

This includes the outdated way in which seats are allocated, an unusual amount of votes being cast for the ruling party in areas where irregularities were rife, and the process of creating the voter list, the report says.

Mr. Magbual said the present electoral situation in Cambodia was reminiscent of that in the Philippines in the 1980s, particularly in relation to the voter list, which monitors have said is flawed and failed to accurately represent eligible voters.

“I agree that a new voter registration should be done,” he said. “Invalidate the existing list and come up with a new one.”

The CNRP plans to hold a demonstration in Phnom Penh’s Freedom Park on Sunday, when Mr. Rainsy said further discussions to resolve the current political standoff will take place.

Hun Sen and NEC are cheating on the Cambodian population. Hun Sen setup the NEC result 1 day after an election on July 29, 2013, CPP got 68 and CNRP got 55 seats. On Sept. 8 the NEC final result is CPP got 68 and CNRP got 55 seats. If the votes were counted it will be a different result but NEC was ignored to count the votes and kept Hun Sen result.

CPP and NEC must go.

eventually, it'll boill down to political flexibility, cooperation, dealing by using existing or new law, etc. forget personal ego, stubbornness, strong or weak personality, etc... focus more on the rule of law for cambodia if you are to solve problem.

If you are better than Sam Rainsy, why don't you go to Cambodia to lead a big protest against Sam Rainsy like Sam Rainsy is doing to Hun Sen now. Especially, I am very sure that you are going to have the support from Hun Sen. By the way, does Hun Sen know who the f*** you are? You are nothing beside an uneducated dumb mother f*****!!!

when khmer ask the international community for aid that's one thing, but when khmer leader like sam rainsy wanted to ask the international community for helping him fight against khmer, that is a real, stupid loser! it's like asking the world not to help cambodia. that is stupid on the part of sam rainsy! he doesn't know how to get along with other khmer, so he follow the dumb footstep of old incompetent khmer king like chey chetta II, etc to ask foreigners to help them fight against khmer so they can gain power in cambodia at the expense of cambodia. how stupid! never learn from history!

i say instead of asking the international community to help fight khmer against khmer like this, why not go back to school to get training on social skills, political skills, military skills, leadership skills, communication skills, speech skills, etc! apparently, sam rainsy had a poor choice of words to use that rattle the nerves of women's rights advocates! i hope more khmer people are wake up to see how unskillful a leader sam rainsy really is and pick someone else to replace himself. this old goat gets nowhere but in circle like a crazy dog chasing after its own tail in circle. shame to have khmer leader like this!

The person who used a fake name "Mike" is so barbaric being. This kind of person that caused any society becoming HELL permanently.

Peace be with you and your soul.

You will not be allowed to take anything with you after your soul departs your tormenting body.

Sam Rainsy is a man who loves his nation and his poor people, while under the aggressive eastern neighbor.

May his compassion and unconditional love be rewarded.

Nothing to be ashamed of when fight to be freed.

If he stopped Satan will forever rule and torture those innocence poor souls like in a lake of fire.

Do not STOP voicing and fighting against the evils, and do not be tempted by their threat.

5:17am, while sam rainsy's love for his people and country is noticeable, however, i think what people are saying about him is his love can blind him. that is why they encouraged him to use the ethical code of conduct more that ego and other unwanted personal behavior. use more skills to achieve what he wants for his country, not letting his own judgment blinds him! i think that's all people are saying. so stop calling everybody yuon who happened to see or think differently from him, ok! because that will continue to blind him if you do that! sometimes, the enemy learns about his opponent's weakness or love for that matter and use that to exploit him. so your mind and think, instead of react all the time! that's all!

Anonymous said...

and sam rainsy and his supporter always question other about bribery when they think differently from him. i wonder about sam rainsy and his group, when he say he listen to his followers' wish, how much did they donate to his political campaign for him to be afraid to make his own leadership decision to find solution to this mess he created? how much they donate to him?

1:08 PM,

Agree with you. Kom Poup Te Ong is a horrible crime the Yuon/Vietnamese masterminded animals have ever committed, killing innocent Khmer people. There is the history note to read and YouTube with animation to watch and understand how the evil Yuon/Viet race has no moral and they are so cruel.

That is why the Killing Fields (1975-1979) was setup using Khmer Vietminh (that included Hun Sen, Heng Samrin, Hor Nam Hong, Keat Chon, and more in CPP systems in Phnom Penh) by the masterminded Satan Ho Chi Min, Hanoi criminal minded animals/leader. Yes, the killing still continue slowly in the different ways in CPP regime from the Killing Fields, as mentioned by the beloved poster @1:08 PM.

Good job to share with Khmer readers and other readers from around the world.

CNRP considering talks with CPP: Sam Rainsy

The Cambodia Herald, Dec. 13, 2013

PHNOM PENH (The Cambodia Herald) -- Opposition party leader Sam Rainsy said that his party is considering renewing talks with the Cambodian People’s Party (CPP) regarding Cambodia's political deadlock.
He made his comment Friday after a presentation and discussion session on a joint report about the conduct of the 2013 Cambodia Election.
Kem Sokha, Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP) acting president, said that currently there is no talks in the works between the CNRP and the CPP.
Talks must be made if there is a political deadlock in the country, but there will be no way out if the CPP is to stubborn and thinks that they can perform the duties of the country alone.
"It is not about what we want or don’t want, but we must keep on working at it to solve the problem when there is an issue,” Kem Sokha told reporters, adding there will be no way out if we don’t solve it.
Interior Minister Sar Kheng could not be reached for comment over the opposition’s position.
Political problems caused by the election in the country has been going on for around six months since Cambodia's general election on July 28.
The opposition have rallied periodically to protest against the election results, in which they deemed contained to many serious irregularities, and demanded an independent probe into the poll.
Earlier in the week, Sam Rainsy called on Prime Minister Hun Sen to step down, and conduct a re-election.
The CNRP will hold another rally at Freedom Park on December 15.
