    Country for sale – how Cambodia’s elite has captured the country’s extractive industries Glossary of key terms Resource curse – the phenomenon by which natural resource wealth often results in poor standards of human development, bad governance, increased corruption and sometimes conflict. Extractive industries – for the purposes of this report, the extractive industries are defined as the oil, gas, and mining industries. Kleptocracy – a style of governance characterised by high-level corruption and looting of state funds for the purpose of increasing the personal wealth and political power of the ruling class. Shadow state1 – a state where political power is wielded as a means to personal self- enrichment and state institutions are subverted to support those needs. Behind the laws and government institutions of such states is a parallel system of personal rule. Leaders of these states are typically able to exploit their country’s public assets, particularly natural resources, through the subversion of bureaucratic institutions and the monopoly on the use of violence. In this way, they can enrich themselves and pay for the means to stay in power. 1 Country for sale – how Cambodia’s elite has captured the country’s extractive industries Map Glossary of key terms Contents Recommendations Summary Chapter I: Cambodia’s extractive industries – the stakes are high Minerals – an introduction Oil and gas – an introduction Cambodia today: From democracy experiment to one-party kleptocracy Box 1: Wasted wood – the lessons of illegal logging Box

  • Intelligence Report
    APPROVED FOR RELEASE DATE: MAY 2007 Y . c DIRECTORATE OF INTELLIGENCE Intelligence Report Cornmanism and Cambodia (Refweme Title: ESA U LVl72) May 1972 " *' :: COMMUNISMAND CAMBODIA kEM0RANDUM -FOR RECIPIENTS This in-depth, background study of the development of communism in Cambodia indicates that over the past two-and-a-half decades this Hanoi-directed movqnent has built a more extensive political and military structure than has generally been appreciated. In particular, the training of large numbers of ethnic Khmers in North Vietnam, a phenomenon which came to light in early 1971, has given the Communists in Cambodia a respectable base on which to build. The study also finds that Hanoi, abundantly aware of the antipathy that most Cambodians feel towards Vietnamese, is giving the Khmer Communist (KC) Party an increased measure of autonomy, particularly at the local level; and that the XC political-military apparatus, backed by the power of the Vietnamese Communist Army, poses a serious threat to the Phnom Penh government. This study has profited'from <he assistance of a wide number of Cambodia specialists in the CIA, with Whom this study has been coordinated.

  • Of 5 Suggestions Concerning the Request
    Suggestions concerning the request submitted by Cambodia Committee on Article 5 Implementation (the Netherlands, Colombia, Austria and Canada) 1. The request indicates that targets during the previous extension request were exceeded due to improved land release procedures and Cambodian Mine Action Standards (CMAS), including the integration of mechanical and animal detection systems into operations. The request would benefit from further information on any planned review and improvement of CMAS over the new extension period and the timeline for these improvements. Response CMAA plans to develop additional CMAS on Animal Detection System (ADS), Mechanical Demining, Information Management, Quality Management, Environment, Victim Assistance and Mine Risk Education from 2020‐2021 and plans to review CMAS Chapters 2 “Accreditation of demining organizations and licensing of operations”, Chapter 3 “Monitoring of demining organizations”, Chapter 14 “Baseline Survey” and Chapter 15 “Land Release” from 2021 to 2022. 2. Table 13 in Cambodia’s request indicates that 9,804 suspected hazardous areas to be contaminated with anti‐personnel landmines measuring 890,437,236 square metres remain to be addressed. The request would benefit from a clear disaggregation between Suspected Hazardous areas and Confirmed Hazardous areas employing the annexed sample table from the Guide to Reporting. Response The Baseline Survey to take stock of mine and ERW contaminated areas in Cambodia implemented from late 2009 to present does not classify minefields (or mined areas) as suspected hazardous or confirmed hazardous areas. Therefore, in the extension request, we indicated the minefields as ‘areas known or suspected to contain AP mines.’ Those minefields were classified as A1 (land containing dense concentration of AP mine), A2 (land containing mixed of AP and AT mines), A4 (land containing scattered or nuisance presence of AP mines) and B2 (land with no verifiable mine threat).
