Revised 25-09-2002. Cambodia: Protect Montagnard Refugees Fleeing Vietnam (New York, September 25, 2002) - Human Rights Watch today criticized the Cambodian government for sealing its borders and deporting hundreds of indigenous Montagnard refugees back to Vietnam, despite a fresh crackdown against Montagnards and ongoing mistreatment of returnees by Vietnamese authorities. The latest round of deportations began in April of this year. Human Rights Watch called on the Cambodian government to continue granting first asylum to new arrivals from the Central Highlands of Vietnam and to cease the harassment and arrest of Cambodian villagers suspected of helping Montagnard refugees. “Cambodia is in flagrant breach of its international obligations not to deport refugees to a place where they may face serious persecution,” said Mike Jendrzejczyk, Washington director of the Asia Division of Human Rights Watch. “The international community should insist that the Cambodian government provide asylum to any new refugees from Vietnam.” Since the crumbling of a tripartite refugee repatriation agreement between the United Nations, Cambodia and Vietnam in April 2002, Cambodian authorities have deported more than 400 Montagnard asylum seekers back to Vietnam. Armed Cambodian militia have been dispatched to Cambodian villages bordering Vietnam’s Central Highlands, where they have ordered Cambodian villagers not to help Montagnard refugees from Vietnam or face arrest.

Those first deportations raised concerns among Cambodian communities and human-rights advocates nationwide last month, in large part because of Cambodia's deplorable human rights record and reported statements by Prime Minister Hun Sen indicating that the deportees would be jailed on arrival. For Mao Chan, 27, who lived in Seattle and was convicted of armed robbery, the part of the trip after deportation that he described as the most unnerving the uncertainty is over.

83. National Geographic Magazine: August 2000 @ Nationalgeographic.com Direct responsibility for preservation of antiquities rests with the cambodian government,but there must first be a clear indication—from its highest levels http://www.nationalgeographic.com/ngm/0008/forum/essay.html

SITE INDEX By Martin Lerner Helping impoverished countries maintain and preserve their cultural patrimony is decidedly complex and not susceptible to easy answers. Solutions, whether they have any foundation of common sense or practicality, have traditionally been advanced by individual groups and governmental agencies following their own often narrow interests and agendas. The ongoing problem of antiquities leaving Cambodia is of major concern, and protective measures beyond foreign archaeologists lobbying for blanket restrictions or the ill-considered recent U.S. embargo on Cambodian stones need to be implemented to correct, or at least significantly improve, this troublesome situation. Soldiers and police forces in the countryside receive their pitiful salaries on such an erratic basis that they, too, must somehow supplement their tenuous existence and are likely to try to sell anything they accidentally come across. Assuming that the international trade in antiquities cannot be stopped by blanket regulations prohibiting their exportation, and given that it is unlikely that governments of poor nations can smother the incentive to send antiquities out of the country clandestinely, a more enlightened approach is necessary. Since art still remains the single best ambassador for any nation, is it in the national interest to prohibit the exportation of all works of art? The real goal should be to establish some degree of control over what leaves the country, and this is not beyond the capabilities of the Cambodian government. The government can demonstrate its will to protect its cultural patrimony by allocating adequate funding to establish a large trained force to guard architectural monuments. Currently, the few guards assigned to protect the temples at Angkor are paid so little they seem more interested in selling souvenirs, like their badges, to tourists.

They documented the failure of the government at all levels to prosecute civilian and military authorities for killing and torture; and found that a major cause of the problem was a lack of political will by the government to prosecute known human rights abusers. Adding to the problem is the lack of neutrality and independence of the judicial and law enforcement systems, as well as a low level of professionalism in these bodies. The report also identifies as a problem the excessive use of lethal force and misuse of weapons by law enforcement officials.

Tuesday, 4 February 2003 The widest coverage in Sri Lanka. Features News Business Features Editorial ... Archives Asia Watch : Troubling posers from Cambodia's anti-Thai riots Cambodians carry home looted goods from the stormed Thai-owned Royal Phnom Penh Hotel in Cambodia, 31 January 2003. The Cambodian government said Thursday that it had arrested 150 “extremists” and announced it would pay compensation for violent anti-Thai riots as it sought to repair relations with a furious Bangkok. One person was killed and at least seven injured when Cambodian protesters stormed the Thai embassy and looted Thai-owned hotels and businesses in Phnom Penh after they were angered by alleged comments by popular Thai actress Suvanant Kongying that the country’s famous Angkor Wat temple complex belonged to neighbouring Thailand. AFP by Lynn Ockersz The explosive emergence of anti-Thai riots in Cambodia, which could have been considered a South East Asian state on the mend, following decades of civil war and strife, should compel political and economic agenda-setters of the Third World to stop in their tracks and ponder over their future courses of action. Comprehensive details are yet to come in on the general backdrop to and the more immediate causes of the riots, but there is, obviously, no denying the fact that ethnic tensions have been on the rise in Cambodia which had at one time chosen an entirely socialist path to socio-economic advancement. The riots have, however, followed a familiar broad pattern. Some Thai business houses and establishments, besides the Thai embassy in Phnom Penh, have apparently been attacked by the rabble. This points to rising commercial rivalry among some of Cambodia's ethnic groups, with those seen as dominating the business world, evoking fierce hostility among their competitors. The process of demonising "the other", who is usually a business competitor, an all too familiar pattern in some of Asia's multi-ethnic states ravaged by racial tensions, seems to be taking hold in Cambodia too.

Cambodia: Deportation of Montagnard Refugees to Vietnam Human Rights Watch Denounces Cambodia's Deportation of Montagnard Refugees to Vietnam New York (May 20, 2001) - Human Rights Watch today denounced the Cambodian government's forced expulsions of at least eighty-nine indigenous minority asylum seekers from the Central Highlands of Vietnam, and called for immediate measures to protect other refugees who may be at risk. Seventy people have been expelled in the last ten days alone. "These forced returns violate the cardinal rule of international refugee law - the principle of non-refoulement: Governments must not send people fleeing persecution back to countries where their lives and liberty could be at risk," said Rachael Reilly, Refugee Policy Director for Human Rights Watch. "No one knows where the people who have been deported now are, whether they are in custody, or how they are being treated." Human Rights Watch called on the Cambodian government to launch an immediate investigation into the forced deportations, which were carried out by provincial authorities and which represented a breach in commitments made by Cambodia’s Prime Minister, Deputy Prime Minister, and the Director General of the National Police. All three had declared that Vietnamese asylum seekers fleeing to Cambodia would not be deported. At a minimum, the deportations show that policies publicly announced in Phnom Penh are not being implemented in the provinces. Human Rights Watch also urged the Vietnamese government to immediately clarify the whereabouts and conditions of the eighty-nine people who were forcibly returned from Cambodia, and said they should be given immediate access to diplomatic representatives, international organizations, and the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). It said there are real fears for their safety because the Vietnamese Criminal Code provides for harsh punishment for non-violent political activity deemed to be "anti-government."

"I was elected by the people of Cambodia in elections that were supervised and organized by the United Nations," Ranariddh said at a news conference Thursday afternoon. "Sedach Hun Sen (Cambodia's second prime minister) says I was 'dismissed,' but not through legal procedures, but through the use of tanks and guns," Ranariddh said. "It is a coup d'etat." Ranariddh was ousted by Hun Sen after two days of fighting in Phnom Penh. Ranariddh said the U.N. "and all peace-loving nations must not recognize a regime coming from such a coup." He also asked that the U.N. use economic sanctions to pressure Hun Sen into ending the coup and holding elections. "The Security Council must do something," he said.

Chronology of Cambodian History 802 AD Kingdom of Angkor is established. Angkor Empire covers most of southeast Asia and is known for its beautiful temples and sculpture. Angkor declines due to warfare and loses territory to the Thais and the Vietnamese. Cambodian King Norodom reluctantly signs a treaty of protectorate with the French, which lasts until 1953. The movement for independence from foreign imperialism in Southeast Asia begins. Ho Chi Minh founds the Indochinese Communist Party. The French establish nineteen-year-old Prince Norodom Sihanouk as king. The Japanese occupy Cambodia during World War II. The war for independence in Vietnam begins as Ho Chi Minh's Viet Minh army fights the French. Saloth Sar (Pol Pot) goes to study in France. Sihanouk wins Cambodia's independence from France. Saloth Sar (Pol Pot) becomes leader of Cambodia's Communist Party. US troops arrive in Vietnam. Sihanouk ends diplomatic relations with the United States. Cambodia loses tax revenues on rice that is smuggled into Vietnam during the war. Sihanouk increases the tax on remaining rice supplies, which spurs a peasant uprising and the armed communist revolution. Communists seek to eliminate widespread rural poverty and the corrupt ruling elite. President Nixon begins an illegal secret bombing of neutral Cambodia that continues until August 1973 when US Congress stops the Pentagon.
