Cambodia has received billions of dollars in aid from democratic countries since the intervention of the United Nations (“UN”) in the early 1990s. Yet the RGC has continued to violate the fundamental human rights of Cambodians, while senior officials have pilfered national resources for their own personal benefit. The crack down on freedom of expression continues, land and livelihoods are lost by the day, minorities remain excluded, and the judicial system remains corrupt and non-independent. It is time for democratic donor countries and their taxpayers to demand improvements in human rights and governance in Cambodia, in exchange for the assistance that supports those that the RGC has failed and serves to prop up the regime.
