Cambodia: Human Rights Before and After the Elections
May 1993 Vol.5 No.10 CAMBODIA: HUMAN RIGHTS BEFORE AND AFTER THE ELECTIONS I. INTRODUCTION Cambodians will go to the polls on May 23 in an atmosphere of political and ethnic violence and renewed civil war. The elections are the culmination of a 17-month United Nations presence, the largest, most ambitious and most expensive peace-keeping effort ever, which was supposed to bring about an end to the conflict. Instead, Cambodia is faced with as much fighting as when the United Nations Transitional Authority in Cambodia (UNTAC) entered the country in March 1992, and a spiralling level of serious human rights abuses. The "neutral political environment" that was supposed to be the precondition for elections is entirely absent. The five permanent members of the Security Council and other drafters of the 1991 Paris peace accords, formally known as the Agreements on a Comprehensive Political Settlement of the Cambodia Conflict, are determined to go ahead with the elections regardless. But what happens on May 23 is almost less important than what happens in the days after the results are announced. Asia Watch believes that an analysis of the missteps that led to the current human rights situation is critically important to determining how, or perhaps whether, human rights of Cambodians can be protected under whatever government comes to power then. The reasons for the deterioration in the human rights situation in late 1992 and early 1993 are complex. None of the parties to the conflict has a history of respect for human rights and one, Democratic Kampuchea, better known as the Khmer Rouge, has one of the worst human rights records in modern history. -

Signed by the final Examining Committee: Chair Professor Barbara Lorenzkowski Examiner Professor. Theresa Ventura Examiner Professor Alison Rowley Supervisor Professor Matthew Penney Approved by Chair of Department or Graduate Program Director 2018 Dean of Faculty ABSTRACT Re-imagining Khmer Identity: Angkor Wat during the People’s Republic of Kampuchea (1979-1989) Simon Bailey The People’s Republic of Kampuchea period between 1979 and 1989 is often overlooked when scholars work on the history of modern Cambodia. This decade is an academic blind spot sandwiched between the genocidal Khmer Rouge regime and the onset of the United Nations peace process. Utilizing mediums such as popular culture, postage stamps and performance art, this thesis will show how the single most identifiable image of Cambodian culture, Angkor Wat became a cultural binding agent for the government during the 1980s. To prove the centrality of Angkor in the myth-making and nation building mechanisms of the People’s Republic of Kampuchea, primary source material from Cambodia’s archives, along with interviews will form the foundation of this investigation. -

30 November 2005 Abstract
Towards a Transport Infrastructure Management System Wielinga SEMINAR: SUSTAINABLE ACCESS AND LOCAL RESOURCE SOLUTIONS Date: 28 – 30 November 2005 TITLE: Towards a Transport Infrastructure Management System (TIMS) AUTHOR: Doekle Wielinga, Chief Technical Advisor, Income Recovery Technical Assistance Programme, ILO, Sri Lanka ADDRESS FOR COMMUNICATION: Doekle Wielinga, ILO, Chief Technical Advisor Income Recovery Technical Assistance Programme P.O. Box 1205 Colombo Sri Lanka Abstract The Cambodian rural infrastructure sector is facing a number of problems. Among these are: a not fully defined legal framework; unclear definition of responsibilities; lack of updated road inventories; limited local implementation capacity; inadequate design standards, insufficient and inadequate and slow maintenance funding and disbursement mechanism. There is thus a need for the development of an efficient, cost-effective and locally applicable maintenance management system. The paper briefs on the status of the institutionalization and mainstreaming of the Ministry’s of Rural Development (MRD) planning tool: Integrated Rural Accessibility Planning (IRAP) and focuses on the application of the Transport Infrastructure Inventory (TII) as an appropriate tool to develop a rural road inventory and prioritization of maintenance and rehabilitation at district level. It is proposed that TII can form the basis of a more comprehensive Transport Infrastructure Management Tool (TIMS) by including design standards, budgeting and financial forecasting. It is argued that such a TIMS will guarantee local community involvement in prioritization of rural infrastructure; that a rational decision is made between roads or service infrastructure that are local-resource based; that local communities, government and others mobilize resources and provides a transparent and cost- effective monitoring mechanism that would increase the confidence of stakeholders in administration of rural roads. -

Exploring the Utilization of Buddhist Practices in Counseling for Two Different Groups of Service Providers (Monks and Psychologists) in Cambodia
Exploring the Utilization of Buddhist Practices in Counseling for Two Different Groups of Service Providers (Monks and Psychologists) in Cambodia Khann Sareth and Tanja E Schunert1; Taing S Hun, Lara Petri, Lucy Wilmann, Vith Kimly, Judith Strasser, and Chor Sonary2 The suffering of Cambodia has been deep. From this suffering comes great Compassion. Great Compassion makes a Peaceful Heart. A peaceful Heart makes a Peaceful Person. A Peaceful Person makes a Peaceful Community. A Peaceful Community makes a Peaceful Nation. And a Peaceful Nation makes a Peaceful World. May all beings live in Happiness and Peace. --Samdech Maha Ghosananda, Cambodia The above quotation sets the objective we advocate and work for in Cambodia.3 Introductory analysis Background and current situation: Cambodia’s history of political unrest, socioeconomic struggle and traumatic genocide under the Khmer Rouges (KR) has disrupted and destroyed many grown structures of resources, such as the foundations of sufficient health care, education and deeper knowledge of Buddhist and Hindu, animistic traditional practices and cultural legacies. Normal patterns and habits of daily life have been torn apart and resulted in low indicators of development. Cambodia was ranked 137th out of 182 countries according to the United Nations Human Development Index (2009) and struggles still with providing a minimum of health services and standards especially in the field of mental health. Problems such as poverty, lack of gender parity, mistrust and suppressed anger, domestic violence, child and sex-trafficking, substance abuse, and other issues which continue to undermine movements for national reconciliation, are common (Human Rights Watch, 2010; Humeniuk, Ali, & Ling, 2004; UNIAP, 2008; van de Put & Eisenbruch, 2002). -
