Hun Xen: Same old! Same old!

Unofficial translation from French by KI-Media

Communiqué

Hun Xen: Same old! Same old!

The 5 hours 20 minutes speech given on 09 August 2012 was simply an opportunity for Hun Xen to renew his faithful subservience to Hanoi, this came after both Asian and Western observers and officials have accused him of being a “stooge” to Beijing.

In fact, there is nothing new to add to what Hun Xen and his comrades said for the past several years over land and maritime borders between Cambodia and Vietnam. The historical and legal references that he pointed out over this issue were those used by the Vietnamese themselves since their invasion and occupation of Cambodia since 1979. Hun Xen justified the “lawfulness” of his actions, but one needs to understand that it was Vietnamese imperial law, not International Law.

Under International Law, Hun Xen and his so-called People’s Republic of Kampuchea (PRK) – a beast created by the Vietnamese occupation – have no legitimate rights to conclude any international agreements over Cambodia’s borders. In other words, all these PRK-Vietnam territorial agreements dating from the 80s were simply null and void. Stipulations in the 1991 Paris Peace Agreements over Cambodia are very clear about this issue.

Therefore, the recognition and the execution of these illegal agreements that are in favor of a foreign country and that are detrimental to one’s country’s territorial integrity are betrayal acts that are condemned by any penal code in the world, including that of Cambodia itself.

Thai-Khmer: The Pursuit of ... the Confrontations

The following is a translation from French with the help of Google service

THAI-KHMER: Pursuit of ... the Confrontations

Before leaving for New York, the Thai foreign minister, Kasit Piromya, took care to denounce Russia, China and India for "encouraging Cambodia to attack" Thai troops earlier this month. The prosecution was free, but the image of a possible Cold War around Preah Vihear was launched. The decision of 14 February by the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) on the Cambodian-Thai dispute was in favor of Bangkok: nothing was said on the merits, but only on the form. The pretext raised revealed even futher irresponsibility: the current conflict Cambodian-Thai is not threatening peace in the world - especially it does not (yet) affect the direct interests of the Superpowers. The Thais have reason to shout victory.

The recommendation for the parties to "hold up ... to a permanent cease-fire" without sending peacekeepers nor mandated observers, is simply wishful thinking, if not another platitude of the Security Council, when one knew that since 2008 the Thais and the Khmers have always agreed to a ceasefire after every each deadly confrontation, and only to start the fight all over again. Could we allow this problem to ASEAN to take care of? Will the Thais accept that? Through the voice of Singapore, recently, the general argument that ASEAN uses to convince the antagonists would neither be legal nor political, but economical - the regional development. The role of ASEAN as "coordinator" of the Cambodian-Thai negotiations is purely diplomatic, otherwise it might put a hard test on its own strength and effectiveness, and even its future. Cambodia, being too weak on all fronts in comparison to Thailand, does not have much to expect from ASEAN to enforce its legitimate rights over Preah Vihear.

PETITION

To Mr. SUSILO BAMBANG YUDHOYONO

PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF INDONESIA,

CO-PRESIDENT OF THE 1991 PARIS PEACE CONFERENCE ON CAMBODIA,

c/o The Republic of Indonesia Embassy

47-49, rue Cortambert, 75116 Paris, France

---------

We, the Representatives of the Cambodian Civil Society in France, who have gathered at the Trocadéro Human Rights Plaza in Paris on October 24th, 2010, to commemorate the October 23rd, 1991 Paris Peace Agreements on Cambodia,

Considering that the Government of Cambodia led by Mr. Hun Sen and his CPP party:

1. Unscrupulously violates fundamental human rights, the Kingdom's Constitution and democratic principles;
2. Fails to provide justice to hundreds of assassination cases of political opponents, trade unionists, journalists and independent lawyers since 1991;
3. Conducts violent evictions of villagers from their homes and lands throughout the country, and dumping them in isolated and unhealthy locations;
4. Systematically abuses its power to stifle all legitimate criticisms and protests raised by the citizens and the opposition through the use of repressive government police and armed forces and its court system;
5. Acts as an accomplice to Vietnam in the latter’s pursuit of colonization of Cambodia, in spite of the fact that Vietnam is itself a signatory to the 1991 Paris Peace Accords. The number of Vietnamese "immigrants" has now reached more than five million, i.e., more than 35% of the entire fourteen million population of Cambodia, thereby dangerously threatening the identity and the national unity of the Cambodian people;
6. Endangers Cambodia’s independence and neutrality, and the Cambodian people's right to self-determination by accepting growing interferences from the government of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam on Cambodia disguised as bilateral ‘cooperation’ in the fields of politics, judicial system, administrative system, economic system, as well as security and national defense;
7. Proceeds with Vietnam to the border demarcation between the two countries on the basis of the illegal 1985 treaty.

• Similarly, Thailand, also a signatory of the 1991 Paris Peace Agreements, had decided to militarily occupy several locations along Cambodia’s western and northern provinces, including the area of Preah Vihear temple, by publicly rejecting the border delineation established through the 1904-1907 Franco-Siamese treaties and later recognized by The Hague International Court of Justice in its 1962 ruling on the Preah Vihear temple case.

Along with the undersigned, we are denouncing:

• The measures and actions taken by the governments of Cambodia, Vietnam and Thailand, as they are deemed as a factor that will dash the hope of the Cambodian people to find their freedom and democracy, the independence and territorial integrity of their country, as stipulated in the 1991 Paris Peace Agreements whose aim was to end the indescribable suffering through many years of war, massacre and occupation by Vietnam;
• In fact, up to now, Cambodia still has not yet found peace and security stipulated in the 1991 Paris Peace Agreements, and the Cambodian people still continue to live in misery under the terror imposed by those who are power currently, as well as by foreign domination;

Therefore, we urge you, Mr. President, in your distinguished role as Co-Chairman of the Paris Peace Conference on Cambodia, to kindly consider establishing an International Control Commission for the Application of these agreements, a Commission with the mission of engaging the governments of Cambodia, Vietnam and Thailand to scrupulously observe the provisions of the 1991 Paris Peace Agreements on Cambodia in order to help our Country get out of a dangerous destruction path and also to restore peace, stability and security for the sake of Cambodia’s development.

Numerous Cambodian associations in France plan to organize a peaceful demonstration to commemorate and support the 1991 Paris Peace Agreements on Cambodia.

The Cambodia’s Border Committee (CBC), which is based in France, recently issued a communiqué indicating that all these Cambodian associations, including the CBC, the Cambodian Human Rights Defense and Citizen League, the Khmer Kampuchea-Krom Federation (KKF), the SRP-France, the HRP-France, as well as numerous other members of Cambodian associations in France, plan to hold a demonstration on Sunday 24 October 2010 from 2PM at the Trocadero Human Rights Field, in Paris, France.

All these Cambodian associations will demonstrate to demand that the governments of Cambodia, Vietnam and Thailand, as well as other signatory countries, review and resurrect the application and the respect of the Paris Agreements.

The Cambodian demonstration in France will be held on the 19th anniversary of the 1991 Paris Peace Agreements on Cambodia.

Border Expert Derides Vietnam Marker Case

Cambodia has fallen into a “dictatorship” over a recent case involving the alleged destruction of Vietnamese border markers in Svay Rieng province, a border expert in France said Monday.

Opposition leader Sam Rainsy is facing criminal charges for incitement and destruction of property for allegedly leading villagers to uproot border markers in Chantrea district in October.

But Sean Pengse, president of the Cambodia Border Committee in France, said the border demarcation was illegal in the first place, as it had encroached on Cambodian farmers’ land.

Instead, he said, authorities laid down markers in the middle of fields.

“Such things as this are done only by communists and dictatorships,” he said, as a guest on “Hello VOA.”

Cambodia law provides protection for people who have lived on a plot of land for more than five years, granting them ownership, he said.

Chantrea villagers say their land was being encroached on by the Vietnamese, which led to the October incident.

Sam Rainsy, who is now in France, has had his parliamentarian immunity suspended and is facing an arrest warrant for failing to appear at an arraignment in December.

Cambodia has been in negotiations over its porous borders for years, but alleged encroachment by neighboring countries remains a political lightning rod.

Border between Cambodia and Vietnam: The Trial

Border between Cambodia and Vietnam: The Trial

What is the cost for uprooting wooden stakes planted in the mud of a rice field? The author of this act is currently being charged of “crimes for destruction of public properties and threat against national security.” Yes, you read it right: this is not out of a bad fiction story, this is the reality that reflects the current Hun Sen’s regime in Cambodia.

It turns out that these wooden posts represent temporary stakes for a border post between Vietnam and Cambodia, and they happen to be located in the Cambodian district of Chantrea, Svay Rieng province. The marking operation was conducted by technicians working for the joint Vietnamese-Cambodian government committee, following the official recognition of territorial treaties – which, by the way, are illegal – concluded in 1985 and 2005 by the two governments. The main author of this uprooting act is no other than Sam Rainsy, an opposition MP, and the charge was leveled by a prosecutor for the Svay Rieng provincial court. This charge was later repeated by the minister of Justice who, in light of the “dangerous” offense, immediately requested the lifting of Sam Rainsy’s parliamentary immunity so that he can be brought to face trial. The entire immunity lifting process took only 10 minutes during a closed door session of the National Assembly controlled by MPs from Hun Sen’s own CPP party.

Regarding the so-called destruction of public properties

What “public properties?” The bits of stakes involved were planted in the middle of rice fields belonging to several generations of Khmer villagers, i.e. on private properties that the government, by allowing these villagers to farm them, is de facto recognizing them as such up until now. Since the very first day of the arbitrary planting of these stakes took place, and in the ensuing days, the owners of these fields had protested and complained to the commune authorities which remained deaf to their plight. The provincial authorities also refused to look into the villagers’ complaints while claiming that it only involves the Phnom Penh government. Therefore, no agreement and no consent were made between the state authorities and the citizen-owners of the lands so that these stakes could be recognized as “public properties”. If there were to be expropriation of these lands for public interest, then no damage compensation was ever paid to the wronged owners, unlike what the Kingdom’s Constitution stipulated. Furthermore, no prior official announcement was ever made for the marking of the border, and the local population in this border commune was never shown with any official geographical map, in spite of the fact that the border delimitation agreements were concluded since 27 December 1985 and completed on 10 October 2005. Governmental authorities also claimed that the staking was only “temporary,” meaning that they could be moved in the future. In summary, on 25 October, these litigious stakes, in spite of them being planted by State agents, could not be qualified as “public properties” and the owners of these rice fields have all the rights to get rid of them if they deem it necessary.

Threat against national security

In a country with the rule of law, elements of the “national security” must be clearly defined so they can be used to evaluate the character and the amplitude of any hypothetical “threat” against such national security. Did the uprooting of these bits of temporary border stakes by Sam Rainsy led to danger for Cambodian lives? Did it risk provoking serious internal troubles, and possibly a civil war, or a war between Cambodia and Vietnam? When MP Sam Rainsy and his colleagues came to look at these marking stakes under the request of protesting villagers, they did not carry anything threatening with them (no knives, no axes and no guns). They simply denounced the “violations of Cambodia’s territorial integrity by Vietnam.” Such a denunciation was legitimate from the part of a parliamentarian – a constitutional representative of the Nation and not just a representative of a political party – who, along with citizens who are directly involved, have always been pushed aside from an in-depth examination of the territorial agreements and from the border demarcation process between their country and the neighboring country. Nowhere else in the world but in Hun Sen’s Cambodia can such government secrecy – a total rebuke to the Parliament right – exists, not even in Vietnam when the latter was involved in border delimitation with China.

At first, the Cambodian authorities did not react to Sam Rainsy’s action in Chantrea simply because there was no need for government intervention urgency to quell any public troubles or any risk of civil war existed. However, five days later, on 30 October, according to Vietnam News Service, Hanoi’s regime “sharply reacted” as it viewed that the uprooting of these stakes by a Cambodian MP as being an “arrogant and irresponsible act violating laws in both countries and the treaties and agreements concluded between the two countries … (and) the slandering statement (made by Sam Rainsy) is aimed at inciting animosity and sabotaging relationships between Vietnam and Cambodia.” VNS added: “the Vietnamese government strongly condemns Sam Rainsy’s acts and declarations and asks that the Cambodian government take due measures to deal with all acts of sabotage in order to assure fine progress in the border demarcation between the two nations”! The veiled sanction threat against Sam Rainsy came from Hanoi which forgot that Sam Rainsy is in fact a Member of Cambodia’s Parliament. It was then that the Svay Rieng provincial prosecutor and Phnom Penh’s minister of Justice initiated their judicial process in which they claim that the case is “highly dangerous for national security” and they demanded for an immediate lifting of the parliamentary immunity of the “arrogant saboteur.”

The fundamental question remains the following: is the Svay Rieng provincial court competent enough to be involved in the case? Can it render judgment on a destruction of “public properties” charge that is not even the case? Can it be competent enough to be involved in a border demarcation problem that involves international law? But, in Cambodia, there is no doubt that Mr. Hun Sen and his comrades can do anything, they are competent in everything, and everything always involves “public order” or “national security.” Let’s recall also that, under Pol Pot, to the eyes of the Kammaphibal (party cadres), any sight of protest, discontent or sadness by an individual is an attack on their Revolution, i.e., their “public order”. Such action can be sanctioned through physical elimination of the individual involved. Thus, it looks like Pol Pot’s lesson did not get lost among his disciples. Sam Rainsy’s trial will thus take place: the benign wooden stakes in Chantrea have been blown up into peace (or war) symbols between Cambodia and Vietnam. It’s an aberration, but this gives the proper perspective on the importance of Hanoi’s domination over the Hun Sen/CPP regime.

Frontière Cambodge-Vietnam : le Procès

Que vaut l’arrachage de quelques bouts de pieux de bois plantés dans la boue d’une rizière? – L’accusation contre son auteur de « crimes de destruction de biens publics et de menace contre la sécurité nationale ». Non, ce n’est pas une mauvaise fiction. C’est une réalité qui reflète l’image du régime Hun Sen du Cambodge actuel.

Car il se trouve que ces bouts de pieux représentent le marquage provisoire des bornes de frontière entre le Vietnam et le Cambodge, dans un village cambodgien de Chantrea, de la province de Svay Rieng. Le marquage était fait par des techniciens de la Commission mixte gouvernementale viêtnamo-cambodgiennne, à la suite de la reconnaissance officielle des traités territoriaux - illégaux - de 1985 et de 2005 par les deux Gouvernements. L’auteur principal de cet arrachage est Sam Rainsy, un député de l’Opposition, et l’accusation est décrétée par un procureur d’un tribunal provincial de Svay Rieng, reprise ensuite par le ministre de la Justice, lequel, au vu de la « dangerosité » de l’acte incriminé, demande immédiatement la levée de l’immunité parlementaire du député pour que ce dernier soit mis en examen et jugé. A l’Assemblée nationale, où dominent les membres du parti PPC de Hun Sen, la chose est faite, à huis clos, en dix minutes.

La destruction de biens publics

De quel « bien public » ? Les bouts de pieux en question sont plantés dans des portions de rizières appartenant à des villageois khmers depuis plusieurs générations, c’est-à-dire dans des propriétés privées - que les autorités gouvernementales, qui leur laissent l’exploitation, ont reconnu de facto jusqu’à maintenant. Dès le premier jour de la plantation autoritaire de ces pieux, et les jours suivants, les propriétaires des terrains ont protesté et porté plainte aux autorités de la commune qui font la sourde oreille. Les autorités provinciales ont également refusé d’examiner leur plainte, sous le bon prétexte qu’il s’agissait d’un acte (des autorités) du Gouvernement de Phnom-Penh. Il n’y a donc eu aucun accord ni consentement entre ces autorités étatiques et les citoyens propriétaires des terrains pour que ces bouts de pieux soient reconnus comme « biens publics ». S’il s’agissait d’une désappropriation d’intérêt public, il n’y a pas eu de dédommagement compensatoire aux propriétaires lésés, comme le prévoit la Constitution du Royaume. D’ailleurs, il n’y a eu aucune publicité officielle préalable de ce marquage de la frontière, par exemple par la publication à la connaissance des populations d’une carte géographique officielle de cette commune frontalière, alors que l’Accord de délimitation de celle-ci est conclu dès le 27 décembre 1985 et complété le 10 octobre 2005. Et, aux dires des autorités gouvernementales elles-mêmes, ce marquage n’était que « provisoire », sous-entendant qu’il pourrait être déplacé à l’avenir. En somme, au 25 octobre dernier, ces bouts de pieux litigieux, même plantés par des agents de l’Etat, ne peuvent être qualifiés de « biens publics », et les propriétaires des rizières sont bien en droit de s’en débarrasser, s’ils le jugent nécessaire.

La menace contre la sécurité nationale

Dans un pays où les lois existent, les éléments de la « sécurité nationale » doivent être clairement définis, pour que l’on puisse évaluer le caractère et l’ampleur d’une éventuelle « menace » contre elle. L’arrachage de ces bouts de pieux de marquage provisoire de la frontière par Sam Rainsy a-t-il mis en danger la vie du peuple khmer ou risque-t-il de provoquer de graves troubles intérieures, voire une guerre civile, ou une guerre entre le Cambodge et le Vietnam ? Or, le député Sam Rainsy et ses compagnons étaient venus constater ces pieux de marquage à la demande des villageois protestataires et ne portaient avec eux aucun objet menaçant (couteaux, haches ou armes à feu). Ils ont simplement dénoncé les « violations de l’intégrité territoriale du Cambodge par le Vietnam ». Une telle dénonciation était bien légitime de la part d’un membre de l’Assemblée nationale – donc, constitutionnellement, d’un Représentant de la Nation, non pas seulement un représentant d’un parti politique – qui, de même que les citoyens directement intéressés, a toujours été écarté de l’examen approfondi des accords territoriaux et des processus de la démarcation de la frontière entre son pays et le pays voisin. Ce genre de pratiques secrètes du Gouvernement, au mépris du droit du Parlement, n’existe qu’au Cambodge de Hun Sen et nulle part ailleurs, même pas au Vietnam dans ses problèmes de délimitation de sa frontière avec la Chine.

Dans un premier temps, les autorités khmères n’ont pas réagi à l’action de Sam Rainsy à Chantrea : il n’y a pas eu l’urgence d’une intervention gouvernementale pour prévenir des troubles publiques ou les risques de guerre civile. Mais, cinq jours plus tard, le 30 octobre, selon l’agence Vietnam News Service, s’annonce une « vive réaction » du Gouvernement de Hanoi qui a vu en l’arrachage de ces pieux par le député khmer comme un acte « arrogant, irresponsable, violant les lois des deux pays et les traités et accords conclus entre les deux nations... (et) la déclaration calomnieuse (de Sam Rainsy) a pour but d’inciter l’animosité et le sabotage des relations entre le Vietnam et le Cambodge ». Ainsi, lit-on encore, « le Gouvernement vietnamien condamne avec véhémence les actes et les déclarations de Sam Rainsy et demande au Gouvernement cambodgien de prendre des mesures appropriées contre tous actes de sabotage afin d’assurer la bonne marche de la démarcation de la frontières entre les deux pays » ! La menace de sanctions à peine voilée contre Sam Rainsy vient plutôt de Hanoi, qui oublie également que le même Sam Rainsy est un membre du Parlement cambodgien. Mais, c’est alors que le procureur de Svay Rieng et le ministre de la Justice de Phnom-Penh déclenchent leurs machines judiciaires, se saisissent de l’affaire «hautement dangereuse pour la sécurité nationale» et demandent la suspension immédiate de l’immunité parlementaire de l’« arrogant saboteur ».

La question de fond est encore celle-ci : le tribunal de Svay Rieng est-il compétent pour se saisir de l’affaire et juger la destruction d’un « bien public » qui n’en est pas un, et un problème de la démarcation de la frontière qui n’est pas du ressort de la province de Svay Rieng et qui touche au droit international ? Mais, au Cambodge, n’en doutons pas, M. Hun Sen et ses camarades peuvent tout, sont compétents en tout, et tout touche à « l’ordre public » ou à la « sécurité nationale ». Sous Pol Pot, rappelons-le, le moindre signe de protestation, de mécontentement ou même de tristesse d’un individu constituait aux yeux des Kamaphibal (chefs de service) une atteinte à leur Révolution, c’est-à-dire à leur « ordre public », et peut être sanctionné par le massacre de son auteur. La leçon de Pol Pot n’est pas perdue pour ses adeptes. Le procès de Sam Rainsy va donc avoir lieu : les petits pieux de bois de Chantrea sont les hauts symboles de la paix (ou de la guerre) entre le Cambodge et le Vietnam. C’est hallucinant. Mais, cela donne la bonne mesure du poids de la domination de Hanoi sur le régime Hun Sen/PPC.
