Typical involuntary resettlement policy under Hun Sen's regimePHNOM PENH, Feb. 23 (Xinhua) -- Cambodia has started drafting a sub-decree on addressing social-economic impacts caused by the development projects on implementation of involuntary resettlement, a government official said here on Monday.
"In the current context of Cambodia, we are lacking legal norms and legislations to support resettlement implementation, including limited awareness of people on law and weak enforcement of land law and other regulations," said Chhorn Sopheap, deputy secretary general of the Supreme National Economic Council and director of the resettlement department of the Ministry of Economy and Finance.
"We continue to further revise the sub-decree to cover all important issues in conformity with other laws and regulations, and to ensure efficient implementation," he said in the opening remarks of the five-day regional workshop of involuntary resettlement implementation and management, which also attracted participants from Vietnam, Laos and Indonesia.
The government is preparing this crucial sub-decree as policy guidelines for a better resettlement implementation, he said.
The project implementation is even more difficult and complicated if a third party causes problems behind because resettlement implementation is not only related to socio-economic side of affected people but also sometimes related to people's mind, especially political issues, he said.
"There were some problems occurring during the project implementation due to lack of adequate policy measures as well as experience, but we have to maintain a balance between people's rights of interest and general or public interest represented by prerogatives of public power," he said.
"We believe that good resettlement can prevent impoverishment and poverty of the affected people by turning displacement into development opportunities," he added.

Under Hun Sen Regime, the poor Cambodia Peoples got their house burn down to the ground and leave them homeless.
This is the Trade Mark of Hun Sen Regime.
The CPP would call in their Hun Sen Death Squad to burn Khmer people's house down and beat up the poor.
this is a good initiative, at least it is the sign that gov't wanted to help with this kind of displacement problem. this is better than ignoring the problem and let affected people suffer.
Yeah, but there will not be or never be any service provided to squatters.
Don't just blame our smooth development 4 triangle strategies. Pls take a look our poverty reduction:

Change
In a quick thought, change seems feasible to happen; for example, people will just take off their dress, change with another dress with another style, and their appearance has changed. That’s change in appearance if we have to call. But what are the main ingredients to prompt people to change besides change in look?
Change does not come as conveniently as ones ever thought. Change in appearance with different clothes, for instance, can exist only when the person deem the change appropriate and fit with their preference and adaptation. The people must in quite a period of time observe, experience and taste the flavor of that sort of appearance before they really adopt the change. In this regard, change is what people choose, take excitement from and wish to experience. Their state of mind, their ego, their thought for socializing with others in events and their thought for manipulation from the change to gain more edges of competitiveness and the list as ingredients for change is probably even longer.
Now what does change have to do with Cambodia’s politik? Obama of America cites this word change in his election campaign and integrates change as the core in his policy. Cambodia from three elections so far does not make loud fuss about change. But one has to accurately and wisely notice the trend: Funcipec won the majority of votes in the first mandatory vote, as one main factor conducive to victory was the strong belief for change the funcipec might bring about hopefully as with symbol of their past prominent leader, king Norodom Sihanouk. The name and past achievements still remain in people’s memory and compared for any better Khmers people could imagine of during 1990s, people opted to vote for their past leaders hoping to live in regime with changes for better. However, khmer people have been disappointed and they realize words must go with their deeds; words alone do not bring about changes and they have ended political life of Funcipec eventually. From this experience, any party can conclude a lesson that: people are watching you closely and it is not wise at all to term people as ignorant.
Again what has to do with change for the extinction of Funcipec? It is noteworthy that khmer people during 1990s voted for Funcipec and they firmly hoped Funcipec would work hard, effectively, genuinely and fast enough to bring about better living conditions that meet their daily’s life changing demands. From one election to the last one, support for Funcipec has eroded substantially and rapidly, which as a result Funcipec gained just two seats compared to 56 seats in the first election. That’s pathetic and one tragedic result for Funcipec!
The lessons, however, Khmers can learn from all these phases of Funcipec are change is not new policy for khmer people-they are bound to change for better or worse so long as any leaders can win their sympathy and hearts (in the case of king Sihanouk calling his people to form guerilla fighting in Makis jungle); information is the driving power to determine people’s decision though widespread dissemination is not commonly practiced in Cambodia either in forms of news outlets, news broadcasting nationwide on TV&radio, discussing or debating with rule of law and justice serving as key benchmarks; social agents for introducing, initiating and delivering possible change are one of key elements besides the means to disseminate information that can bring about major change; conducting poll and survey or providing trainings with technicality and complexity, yet with made-convenient-easy-to-learn information and conduct, to meet with basic, urgent or constant demands of people in order to build strong foundation to win support from people.
The words must go with good, realistic deeds and ability to make quick, effective decisions to respond to new events and ability to tackle problems pragmatically and wisely, which all of these must be present in any potential, responsible leaders who want to adopt and achieve change in their policy.

Under Hun Sen Regime, when Hun Sen's party (CPP) steals votes and Sam Rainsy said that the CPP are a bunch of thieve, intead of charge the criminals that stole votes, Hun Sen Regime's injustice court fine Sam Rainsy $2,500.
Hun Sen Regime's court have no interest in prosecute criminals. Only prosecute the victims or innocent Khmer peoples.
This is Hun Sen Regime Trade Mark.
Just think about it.
Did Hun Sen Regime's court ever charge:
Hun Sen, Hok Lundy and others for the murder of at least twelve innocent peaceful demonstrators on March 30, 1997 Grenade Attack?
Bun Rany and Hok Lundy for killing Piseth Pilika?
The real assassin that assassinated leader of the free trade union of Cambodia (Chea Vichea)?
The assassin that assassinated journalists including Kim Sambo and his son?
These are just some of the crimes that committed by criminals within Hun Sen Regime.
If you voted for CPP (Cambodian People's Party):
Also known as:
Communist People's Party
Khmer Rouge People's Party
Khmer Krorhorm People's Party
You're support the killing of 1.7 million innocent Khmer peoples.
You're support the killing of innocent men, women and children in Cambodia on March 30, 1997.
You're support murder of Piseth Pilika.
You're support assassination of journalists in Cambodia.
You're support political assassination and killing.
You're support attemted assassination and murder of leader of the free trade union in Cambodia.
You're support corruption in Cambodia.
You're support Hun Sen Regime burn poor people's house down to the ground and leave them homeless.
These are the Trade Mark of Hun Sen Regime.
Hun Sen, Chea Sim and Heng Samrin are Khmer Rouge commanders.
When is the ECCC going to bring these three criminals to U.N. Khmer Rouge Trail?
Khmer Rouge Regime is a genocide organization.
Hun Sen Regime is a terrorist organization.
Hun Sen Bodyguards is a terrorist organization.
Hun Sen Death Squad is a terrorist organization.
Cambodian People's Party is a terrorist organization.
I have declare the current Cambodian government which is lead by the Cambodian People's Party as a terrorist organization.
Whoever associate with the current Cambodian government are associate with a terrorist organization.
