PHNOM PENH - A London-based environmental advocacy group urged international donors Wednesday to use their leverage over Cambodia to bring about improved governance and transparency of Cambodia's petroleum and mining sectors.

"Cambodia is on the verge of a petroleum and minerals windfall, but both sectors are already exhibiting early warning signs of the corruption, nepotism and state capture which plagued Cambodia's forest sector," Global Witness said in a statement.
