Illegal land seizures have emerged as one of the most serious threats to stability in Cambodia.
Last month the UN High Commissioner on Human Rights in Phnom Penh recieved a petition signed by 42,000 victims of land grabbing. The petition called on authorities to heed a demand by Hun Sen for officials to stop land grabs throughout Cambodia, and return illegally seized land to its rightful owners. But the demands appear to have fallen on deaf ears.
