Royal Ties: King Norodom Sihamoni and the History of Czech-Cambodian Relations
Per28rev3 31.10.2007 19:06 Stránka 119 (Black plát) REVIEWS Miroslav Nožina, Jiří Šitler and Karel Kučera: Royal Ties: King Norodom Sihamoni and the History of Czech-Cambodian Relations Prague: Euromedia Group – Knižní klub, 2006, 188 pages, ISBN: 80-86938- 75-1. This book commemorates the state visit of King Norodom Sihamoni to the Czech Republic in September 2006. The King, who speaks Czech fluently, spent his childhood and youth in Prague. The principal author of the book, Dr Nožina, studied ethnology at the T. G. Masaryk University in Brno. He is a research worker at the Institute of International Relations in Prague, the author of three books on Southeast Asia, and the co-writer of scenarios for two documentary films on Cambodia. Dr. Šitler, a diplomat and historian, studied in Prague and at the School of Oriental and African Studies in London. He is currently the Czech ambassador to Thailand, Cambodia, Burma and Laos. Mr. Kučera is a doctoral student of ethnology at the Charles University in Prague and specialises in social and ethnic relations in Indochina. Royal Ties is a remarkable book, beautifully produced and profusely illustrated, worthy of the state visit it commemorates. It traces the troubled history of this small country in which there are a number of parallels with the troubled history of the Czech lands. Interwoven into this chronicle is a very human story of a prince who, mainly through the kindness and dedication of his teachers during his formative years, came to love Prague, the Czech countryside, its people, its language and its culture.

U.S.-Cambodia Relations (PDF: 9.28
President Obama’s Letter to His Majesty King Norodom Sihamoni on the Occasion of the 60th Anniversary of Diplomatic Relations between the United States and Cambodia Your Majesty: On behalf of the American people, I wish to congratulate the Kingdom of Cambodia on the Occasion of the 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between our two countries. This important milestone presents us with the opportunity to reflect on our shared past and to plot a course for the future based on the strong foundation we have built together. Both Cambodia and the United States have changed immensely since July 11, 1950, when our first Ambassador to your country presented his credentials to King Sihanouk. As with any bilateral relationship, there have been times when we have not agreed, but the overall growth in the depth and breadth of our engagement reflects a maturing partnership. Over the last several years, for example, we have seen many positive developments, including the establishment of the Peace Corps program in Cambodia, the creation of the Extraordinary Cambers of the Courts in Cambodia and completion of its first trial, and the inauguration of Cambodia’s peacekeeping force, a truly momentous achievement for a coutry that was the beneficiary of peacekeepers less than two decades before. The United States is now the top market for Cambodia’s garment exporters, forming a pillar for the country’s economic growth. Military-to-military and counterterrism cooperation between our two countries has grown as well, creating a safer environment for both Americans and Cambodians. In the coming years, we look forward to taking advantage of the positive momentum that has been created and to see the patnership between our two nations grow stronger and deeper in areas such as food security, climate change, health, education, human rights, and strengthening democratic institutions.

As this article develops, French manipulation of the monarchy and attempts to buttress religion and culture alongside the rise of nationalist youth and Buddhist radicalism was an important precursor to postwar events.

See the methodology. https://freedomhouse.org/country/cambodia/freedom-world/2020 1/18 4/1/2020 Cambodia | Freedom House Overview Cambodia’s political system has been dominated by Prime Minister Hun Sen and the Cambodian People’s Party (CPP) for more than three decades. While the country conducted semicompetitive elections in the past, the 2018 polls were held in a severely repressive environment. Since then, Hun Sen’s government has maintained pressure on opposition party members, independent press outlets, and demonstrators with intimidation, politically motivated prosecutions, and violence. Key Developments in 2019 Security forces interfered with public assemblies and demonstrations commemorating the third anniversary of activist and commentator Kem Ley’s murder in July. Three participants who visited the site of his death were arrested, and one was subsequently charged with incitement to commit a felony. Hun Sen’s government continued targeting key members of the opposition Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP), which was banned in 2017. In March, a court charged eight of its top oﬃcials, including leader Sam Rainsy, with treason. The government also banned Rainsy from reentering the country in November; he ﬂed to France to avoid politically-charged charges in 2015. Kem Sokha, another top member of Rainsy’s party, was released from house arrest in November, but remained under indictment on charges of treason originally announced in 2017.

Khmer King's Brother Opposes Tribunal
Khmer king's brother opposes tribunal Phnom Penh (dpa) - Senior palace official and half-brother of Cambodia's King Norodom Sihamoni said Friday that he opposed a trial of former leaders of the Khmer Rouge regime, saying the 1975 to 1979 massacre was the result of foreign political manipulation. Prince Norodom Yuvaneath, a son of former king Norodom Sihanouk, told reporters he believed a trial of former leaders of the ultra-Maoist regime, blamed for the deaths of up to two million Cambodians during its brief but bloody rule, was against the interests of national reconciliation. The Supreme Royal Advisor said the rise of the Khmer Rouge was the result of manipulation by outside countries, including neighbouring Vietnam and Thailand. He said he felt pitting Cambodians against Cambodians again during a trial for crimes committed by the Khmer Rouge was not in the national interest. "I really do not want to see a Khmer Rouge trial," Yuvaneath said at Phnom Penh International Airport, minutes before his father Sihanouk returned to Cambodia from cancer treatment in China. "We had a war because of foreign interests ... we fought amongst Khmer people to serve only international interests and gave up our own national interests," he said. "We are Buddhists. We follow the Buddhist way. No Cambodian by nature wants to do bad." The proposed joint UN-Cambodian government tribunal to try former Khmer Rouge leaders will only examine crimes committed between 1975 and 1979, before Vietnamese-backed troops overthrew the regime, and does not take into account any political events preceding or following that period.
