Cambodge Soir Hebdo
Translated from French by Luc Sâr
On Wednesday 12 March, the US Department of State publicly issued a world report in which it sorts through the human rights condition in 196 countries, including that of Cambodia during 2007.
According to the US Department of State, Cambodian still has a lot of progress to make. The State Department indicates that human rights are not sufficiently respected still. It denounces “the arbitrary arrests, the feeling of impunity among the security forces, the increasing number of land disputes, the forced evictions, the endemic corruption, and the increasing number of trafficking in persons.” The only positive point reported in the report is the arrest made against the 5 high-ranking Khmer Rouge officials.
The official world report is available at the State Department website (click here). The portion of the report regarding Cambodia is available in the post that follows.

Where is the surprise? I doubt that the US ever said anything good about any country. A lot of times it forgot to look at itself in the mirror, but hey, if they want to play hypocrite judge of the world, let them have fun by themselves.
ReplyDeleteThrow out the garbage!
ReplyDeleteI think the U.S. expects us to have a flawless and impeccable system, while the U.S. has its flaws and imperfection. Therefore, I say throw ou the garbage!
KI should show all these type of problems in Russia, Africa, Middle East like Afhanistan. Nothing can compare to Russian mafia and the government is mafia. I'm still in nightmare, one day while walking in Moscow then bang, bang.. no police can interfere. The dead man was a journalist.

Hey, it is not hard to become criminal, all you have to do is drive without a driver license or drive with a revoked license....
