Cambodian government moves to protect wildlife The Cambodian government is taking steps for the first time to give legal protection to its wildlife. Prime Minister Hun Sen says the legislation is still in the draft stage but expected to come into effect later this year. Speaking at a conference on wildlife management, Hun Sen said it is important for political leaders and law enforcement officials to respect the law. He did not specify what penalties it would include, but appealed to everyone, Cambodians and foreigners alike, to immediately stop hunting and trading wildlife in Cambodia. He also urged powerful government officials and wealthy businessmen to stop ordering wild meat dishes from restaurants for the next five years. Phnom Penh's elite routinely order exotic dishes at restaurants that specialize in wild game. The new laws are meant to protect wildlife such as elephants; tigers; gibbons, bantengs, sun bears; and brown-antlered deer. (09:03:44 AEST)

It's the third such poll since the country's 30-year civil war ended with the signing of the Paris Peace Accord. Human rights groups are using the election campaign period to put pressure on the Government to improve its record, while Amnesty International in its latest report points out that basic legal safeguards are simply not being adhered to.

The Cardamoms are home to most of Cambodia's large mammals and half of the country's birds, reptiles and amphibians. Two wildlife sanctuaries border the area, bringing the total land under protection to 2.44 million acres (990,000 hectares), forming the largest, most pristine wilderness in mainland Southeast Asia. The protected area was officially signed into law by Prime Minister Hun Sen. The declaration allows for the permanent protection of the Cardamoms. Government rangers, military police and community monitors are patrolling and enforcing forest and wildlife laws within the area. "This is a huge step forward for the protection of our country's amazing array of life," said Ty Sokhun, Director General of Cambodia's Department of Forestry and Wildlife. "Animals found virtually nowhere else in the world can thrive freely in our forests."

The declaration allows for the permanent protection of the Cardamoms. Government rangers, military police and community monitors are patrolling and enforcing forest and wildlife laws within the area. The Cardamom Mountains are a high priority for conservationists. Rare species such as the Indochinese tiger, the Asian elephant and the Malaysian sun bear survive there, as do globally threatened species such as the pileated gibbon and the critically endangered Siamese crocodile, which has its only known wild breeding population in the Cardamoms. Still, there are severe threats to the Cardamoms. Wildlife trade thrives on the streets of Phnom Penh, where the skins and body parts of bears, elephants and crocodiles, among others, are for sale. Many of these products are smuggled to neighboring countries, where they are used for traditional medicine. Fauna and Flora International is assisting the government with the management and protection of the two wildlife sanctuaries bordering the Central Cardamoms. The 825,000-acre (334,000-hectare) Mt. Samkos Wildlife Sanctuary is west of the Central Cardamom Mountains; the 627,000-acre (254,000-hectare) Mt. Aural Wildlife Sanctuary is to the east.

And around 70 NGOs are also attending this meeting to support the development of a strong treaty and all related protocols. The chief aim is to secure protocols, which when together as a package, are as effective as possible furthering the cause of global tobacco control. The foreign tobacco companies operating in Cambodia make a huge profit at expenses of Cambodian Health and Lives. It seems only right because foreign companies are causing so much of the public health problem that foreign governments should work with Cambodia to solve the problem.

Presbyterian News Service 27 January 2000 Cambodian Government Honors Church World Service by Wendy S. McDowell National Council of Churches News Office NEW YORK CITY– Twenty years ago, when Phnom Penh lay in ruins after years of war and Cambodian people were in the grip of widespread famine, representatives from several non-governmental agencies flew in to assess humanitarian needs. “There was no electricity and no water, and the relief workers fanned out in the city then got back on the plane to bring back reports to their agencies,” recalled the Rev. Rodney Page, executive director of Church World Service (CWS), the relief and development arm of the National Council of Churches (NCC). “But one representative stayed behind and lived there for six months: Perry Smith of Church World Service and CWS is still there.” Church World Service was among 10 Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) honored at a ceremony held in The Chaktomuk Hall in Phnom Penh, Cambodia on Nov.18, during which Cambodian Prime Minister Samdech Hun Sen highlighted the “close partnership and strong solidarity which exists between the Royal Government of Cambodia and the NGO community.” In attendance were representatives from the 10 NGOs, including Page, Linda Hartke and Howard Jost of Church World Service. Hartke served as CWS country director in Cambodia from 1992-1997 and is currently CWS director of programs and operations. Jost is the current CWS country director in Cambodia.

@import url(/clearharmony.css); /*IE and NN6x styles*/ >> Print version Close window Ireland : Letter To the Cambodian Government Dear Sir, Re: Deporting of Two Falun Gong Refugees to China A source in Phnom Penh has reported that the Cambodian police have deported two Falun Gong practitioners to China on the 9th August. The two practitioners had left China to maintain their freedom, after Chinese president, Jiang Zemin, initiated his vicious crackdown in 1999. And after arriving in Phnom Penh in Cambodia, they had obtained work in a local Chinese school. However, in June of this year, the couple applied for an extension of their Chinese passports at the Chinese Embassy, and were refused. Finally in July, they applied and obtained official U.N. Refugee Certificates. On August 2, the Cambodian police arrested both of them. And on the 9th August, they were deported back to Changsha city in China as a result of pressure from the Chinese Embassy. The couple are currently held in a detention centre in Changsha city. This is a complete disregard for basic human rights. It seems that the Cambodian police, under pressure from the Chinese Embassy ignored the consequences of their actions.

As you will be aware, both had been granted UN refugee status, and as such, should have been exempt from any such deportation order through the likelihood of reprisals from the Chinese government once they were deported. It is extremely disturbing that the Cambodian police came to their decision following pressure from the Chinese embassy in Phnom Penh, especially when the couple had been living and working there, and had been given UN Refugee Certificates. Mr Li and his wife escaped from China to Cambodia after Chinese President Jiang Zemin launched his campaign of persecution of Falun Gong in July 1999, a brutal campaign which has now tortured to death more than 450 people, with thousands more unaccounted for. Over 100,000 have been illegally detained and more than 20,000 have been sentenced to forced labour camps without trial or have been committed to mental hospitals and administered with dangerous mind-altering drugs. Chinese government estimates now put the number of practitioners in China in excess of 100 million, giving it a greater popularity than the Communist Party; indeed many members of the Chinese Communist Party themselves practise Falun Gong in private. President Jiang had underestimated the spirit of millions of people who had experienced improved health and positive changes through their practice of Falun Gong, and it was this level of resolve which caused the regime to intensify its propaganda campaign, using all the most powerful media at its disposal, resulting in the imprisonment, torture and even murder of thousands of innocent practitioners.

A committee of the General Assembly is expected to consider the draft later this week. The Human Rights Watch briefing paper cites concerns about Cambodian government interference in the work of the tribunal, confused and contradictory laws under which the tribunal would operate, and a lack of serious plans for the protection of witnesses, victims and court personnel. "Cambodians deserve the highest standards of justice to prosecute those responsible. They deserve to know the truth about what happened, and why," said Mike Jendrzejczyk, Washington director of the Asia division of Human Rights Watch. "Instead, this proposal represents the lowest standards yet for a tribunal with U.N. participation." After almost five years of negotiations, and under pressure from France, Japan, the United States and others, the United Nations initialed an agreement with Cambodia on March 17, 2003. The agreement would create a "mixed tribunal" based in Cambodia to try "senior leaders" of the Khmer Rouge and "those who were most responsible" for the crimes of genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity.

about GPF What's New Newsletter Sitemap ... *Opinion Forum Special Tribunal for Cambodia The Khmer Rouge seized power in Cambodia in 1975 and killed more than a million people during four years of terror and misrule. When the Khmer Rouge were ousted in 1979 by forces from neighboring Vietnam, the United States supported the Khmer Rouge exiles and assured their continuing seat in the United Nations. US backing for the Khmer Rouge kept Cambodian politics in a turmoil and prevented the pursuit of justice for the mass killings. Finally, on March 17, 2003, the United Nations reached a draft agreement with the Cambodian government for an international criminal tribunal to try former Khmer Rouge leaders. The agreement came after five years of negotiations and 24 years after the Khmer Rouge were driven from power. Under the agreement, the panel of judges will include a majority of Cambodians. Human rights groups argue that the government's ability to impose its will on these judges poses an unacceptable obstacle to justice. On the other hand, with many likely defendents over the age of 70, time is running out for justice to be served. This page follows efforts to establish the Cambodian Tribunal.

On his arrival Hun Sen left the responsibility to the secretary of state and minister of foreign affairs Hor Namhong to hold a press conference. Besides the overall results from the meeting, Namhong said topics about developments in the countries along the Mekong River were raised; those included the construction of a railway, from Singapore to Kun Min (China) in which Cambodia was also crossed. The route linked from Singapore to Kun Min, to Poy Pet, to Malaysia and Thailand had already constructed except to Cambodia, he said. “However China promised to study and construct this incomplete part.” Namhong said in December there would be an Asean-plus Japan assembly to improve the ties between the ten members and Japan; after that it would follow another unofficial meeting between Japan the countries situated along the Mekong River. Japan wished to help the poor countries down the river including Cambodia, Vietnam, Burma, Laos and Thailand as well, he said. “In response to the proposals from Cambodia, South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun promised to study them in details especially about road construction and development of water systems which will enable Cambodian farmers to plants rice two times a year,” said Namhong.

Frequently Asked Questions SG/SM/7868 28 June 2001 SECRETARY-GENERAL CLARIFIES POSITION ON CAMBODIAN GOVERNMENT RESPONSIBILITY FOR TRIALS OF FORMER KHMER ROUGE LEADERS NEW YORK, 27 June (UN Headquarters) The following statement was issued today by the Spokesman for Secretary-General Kofi Annan: During the past few days, representatives of the Government of Cambodia have been quoted in the media as having indicated that the law to create special chambers in the national courts of Cambodia to try the former Khmer Rouge leaders could be enacted by August, and that the chambers could start functioning by the end of the year. The Secretary-General would like to make the following clarifications. The Secretary-General would like to state again that it is the responsibility of the Government of Cambodia to ensure that the enabling law is enacted by the Parliament of Cambodia in a timely manner. However, this legislation has to be in conformity with a Memorandum of Understanding to be signed between the United Nations and the Government of Cambodia. When the Legal Counsel of the United Nations, Hans Corell, visited Phnom Penh in July 2000, he had reached an understanding on the basic parameters of the relationship between the United Nations and the Government of Cambodia, regarding the establishment of the special chambers. The Legal Counsel presented the Government with a draft Memorandum of Understanding that would govern that relationship. The Government of Cambodia has not yet signed the Memorandum of Understanding. Furthermore, according to information given to the Legal Counsel, this instrument would have to be ratified by the Parliament of Cambodia.
