Press Statement
PRESS STATEMENT Statement by the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Cambodia Professor Rhona Smith Phnom Penh, 24 September 2015 Check against delivery It is an honour and a pleasure for me to have undertaken my first mission to the Kingdom of Cambodia since my appointment by the United Nations Human Rights Council in March 2015 as the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Cambodia. At the outset, I wish to thank the Royal Government of Cambodia for their invitation and the cooperation extended before and during the mission. As you are aware, in my role as Special Rapporteur I am independent from any government or organisation and I serve in my individual capacity. My mandate entails a triple role: to advise, to monitor and to report on the human rights situation in Cambodia. I believe that all three functions are equally important and inter-related. The key objectives of this mission were two-fold: introductory, to establish cordial and constructive relationships with the Government and other interlocutors as a basis for an effective discharge of my mandate, and fact-finding, as I report to the United Nations Human Rights Council next week in Geneva. I have had the privilege of meeting with Samdech Prime Minister Hun Sen, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior Samdech Kralahom Sar Kheng, His Excellency Deputy Prime Minister and Minister in Charge of the Council of Ministers Sok An, His Excellency Mak Sambath, Chair of the Cambodian Human Rights Committee, His Excellency Hang Chuon Naron, Minister of Education, Youth and Sports, His Excellency Say Sam Al, Minister of Environment, His Excellency Ang Vong Vathana, Minister of Justice, His Excellency Ith Samheng, Minister of Labour and Vocational Training, and His Excellency Chea Sophara, Minister of Rural Development.
