  • A Field Trip's Report in Veal Veng District, Pursat
    mCÄmNÐlÉkßrkm<úCa DC-Cam’s Promoting Accountability Project A Field Trip’s Report in Veal Veng District, Pursat Province May 18-24, 2011 By Long Dany General Description and Brief History of Districts After the integration of the Khmer Rouge forces by the Cambodian government in 1996, Veal Veng was created as a district in Pursat province. Previously, Veal Veng had been one of the communes included within the Kravanh district. Veal Veng is approximately 120 kilometers from Pursat, and it can be reached by Road Number 56 which links Pursat and Veal Veng across the Kavanh district. The road between Pursat and Kravanh district is paved and smooth, but the road from the Kravanh district to Veal Veng is bumpy and rough. It is a gravel paved road with several old and ailing bridges. The Veal Veng district town is located 75 kilometers from the Thai border of the Trat province. The border checkpoint is called Thma Da. Nowadays, the authorities of both countries allow their citizens to cross the border only on Saturdays. Approximately 60 kilometers south of the Veal Veng district is the O Ta Som commune, where a Chinese company is building a hydroelectric power station. O Ta Som is just about 40 kilometers from the Koh Kong provincial town. Veal Veng comprises of five communes: Pramoy, Anlong Reap, O Ta Som, Kra Peu Pi, and Thma Da. Veal Veng has a population of 13,822 people—3,197 families. At the present time, the government is drafting a decree to create more communes and villages for Veal Veng because of its huge space of land.

  • Cambodia Page 1 of 20
    Cambodia Page 1 of 20 Cambodia Country Reports on Human Rights Practices - 2006 Released by the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor March 6, 2007 Cambodia is a constitutional monarchy with an elected government and a population of approximately 13.8 million. Following elections in 2003, in 2004 the Cambodian People's Party (CPP), led by Prime Minister Hun Sen, and the National United Front for a Neutral, Peaceful, Cooperative, and Independent Cambodia (FUNCINPEC), led by Prince Norodom Ranariddh, formed a coalition government. However, the CPP dominated the three branches of government and other national institutions, with most power concentrated in the hands of the prime minister. Although the civilian authorities nominally controlled the security forces, in practice security forces answered to the CPP leadership. The government's human rights record remained poor. Government agents committed extrajudicial killings, and security forces acted with impunity. There was little political will to address the failure by government authorities to adhere to the rule of law. Detainees were abused, often to extract confessions, and prison conditions were harsh. Human rights monitors reported arbitrary arrests and prolonged pretrial detention, underscoring a weak judiciary and denial of the right to a fair trial. Land disputes and forced evictions, often accompanied by violence, were a growing problem. The government restricted freedom of speech and press through the use of defamation and disinformation suits, controlled or influenced the content of television and radio broadcasts, and sometimes interfered with freedom of assembly. Corruption was endemic and extended throughout all segments of society, including the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of government.

  • Chain of Command
    ABSTRACT Patron-client relations created strong socio-political bonds in Democratic Kampuchea (DK). These relations were even stronger and more stable when members of the networks were related, as occurs in the Southwest Zone, where cadres were mostly related to Zone Secretary Chhit Choeun aka Mok either directly or indirectly. Every citizen, both cadres and ordinary people, were aware that life during DK was fragile, and was even more in the later stage of the regime, and this caused people to have stronger ties to powerful persons. In the DK administrative systems, the cadres from each hierarchically administrative unit were closely interrelated and orders were strictly implemented by chain of administrative command in a top- down hierarchical system. Orders were issued from the closest higher echelon and from higher to lower-ranking cadres within each unit. For instance, districts issued orders to sub-districts and within districts orders were issued from secretary to deputy. Orders were followed without fail. Cadres of higher and lower echelons respected each other’s decisions. In the beginning of the regime, when there were many former Lon Nol officials, soldiers and other obvious “enemies,” and it was clear that there were orders from the top to eliminate them, cadres at all levels of the structure made the decisions to kill these enemies. As the regime proceeded, fears among the cadre increased and the number of obvious targets decreased; therefore, cadres were more submissive to their patrons and orders were implemented more strictly. Before late 1976 or early 1977, power was based in the village level where village committees controlled everything in the villages.

  • Chapter 4: Development Strategy for Kampot
    The Study on National Integrated Strategy of Coastal Area and Master Plan of Sihanouk-ville for Sustainable Development Final Report (Book II) CHAPTER 4: DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY FOR KAMPOT 4.1 Issues in the Present Conditions of Kampot 4.1.1 Socio Economic Condition According to the 2008 Census, the total population in the Kampot province was 585,850, of which only 8.2% of population was living in urban area. Population density of the province was 120/km2, which was considerably higher than the national average of 56/km2. In Kampot, 36.4% of the population (225,039) was under 15 years of age. Working age population (age between 15 and 64) was 377,315 or 61.0% of the population. Labor force participation rate1 of Kampot (81.5%) in 2008 was higher than that of the national average (76.9%) and the Study area average (76.4%). About 85% of labor force in the province was engaged in agriculture. The high labor force participation rate in Kampot is considered to be a result from extensive self-employed agricultural activities. The economically active segment of the population (employed population + unemployed population) was 309,098, which accounted for 49.9% of the total population in the province. Population of the Kampot province has increased by 1.0% per annum between 1998 and 2008. During the same period, the number of labor force in the Study area has increased more rapidly from 230,411 to 309,093 with annual average increase rate of 3.0%. Table 4.1.1 Change in Population and Number of Labor Force in Kampot Province Population Labor Force Urban Rural Total 1998 Census 45,240 483,165 528,405 230,411 2008 Census 48,274 537,576 585,850 309,093 Annual Growth Rate (98-08) 0.7% 1.1% 1.0% 3.0% Source: CENSUS 1998 and 2008, NIS Such a rapid increase in labor force was attributed to 4 main factors; namely 1) increase in the total population, 2) increase in the percentage of working age population to total population (51.6% -> 61.0%), 3) increase in the labor force participation rate (75.4% -> 81.5%), and 4) decrease in the crude unemployment rate (3.7% -> 1.4%).

  • CAMBODIA FLOODS (Appeal 18/99)
    CAMBODIA: FLOODS 19 August 1999 appeal no. 18/99 situation report no.1 period covered: 12 August - 18 August 1999 Initial emergency relief supplies have been distributed in the flooded areas. However, stocks are now depleted and further emergency household kits are needed. Assessments of the rural water supply and the training of Red Cross volunteers for clean up campaigns are scheduled. Further flooding is anticipated. The context Continuous monsoon rains since late July along the southwest coast of Cambodia have caused serious flooding in the two adjacent provinces of Kampot and Koh Kong. Flash floods on 3 August swept through Kampot Town and surrounding communes, forcing thousands to leave their homes. In the two hardest hit districts of Kampot and Kampong Bay, waters were up to two metres deep, covering thousands of hectares of newly seeded crops. A detailed assessment by the Cambodian Red Cross (CRC) and the Royal Cambodian Government indicates at least 7,000 families were seriously affected and many thousands more will require some form of assistance. Community infrastructure was damaged or destroyed and water supplies polluted. Many communities were cut off: communication with and travel to these areas is still very difficult, due to washed out roads and paths and swollen rivers and streams. Although the waters have receded in the past few days, weather forecasts indicate that the monsoon rains in the area will continue. Latest events The Cambodian Red Cross (CRC) has completed the initial distribution of emergency assistance to over 3,000 families in the Kampot District of Kampot Province. This distribution was co-ordinated with the appeal no.
