Ethnic Vietnamese Cambodia - Ethnic Vietnamese minorityrights.org/minorities/ethnic-vietnamese/ November 7, 2017 The facts There are an estimated 400,000-700,000 ethnic Vietnamese in Cambodia. Around 90 per cent of ethnic Vietnamese do not have birth certificates and/or identity cards. Profile It is difficult to get a clear picture of ethnic Vietnamese in Cambodia, due to a lack of reliable data, and a history of genocide, persecution, forced displacement and discrimination by successive regimes and administrations. Estimates on the number of Vietnamese-Cambodians are wide ranging. The Cambodian National Institute of Statistics’ Cambodia Socio–Economic Survey 2013 estimates ethnic Vietnamese at 0.1 per cent of the population in 2013 (14,678). These and other similar figures – previous official estimates put the population higher, at around 0.4 per cent of the population – are generally considered to be far lower than the community’s actual size. While the UN Population Fund-sponsored Cambodian Inter Censal Population Survey 2013 estimates self- identified Vietnamese mother-tongue language speakers at 0.4 per cent, researchers working on ethnic Vietnamese issues generally agree that the community numbers at least 400,000, with groups such as the NGO Minority Rights Organization (MIRO) putting them at as many as 700,000. The number of Vietnamese-Cambodians that have been rendered stateless is also unknown. However, the evidence suggests that it is widespread, even endemic, among the population: for example, in two separate studies researching statelessness among ethnic Vietnamese in Cambodia in Kampong-Chhnang province, researchers estimated that around 90 per cent did not have birth certificates and/or identity cards – a circumstance that places them at significant risk of statelessness. This is despite the fact that many of these ethnic Vietnamese 1/5 communities, particularly concentrated on Tonle Sap lake and the Mekong river, have been settled in Cambodia for generations. Other such communities are found throughout the country, including Phnom Penh and the provinces bordering Vietnam. The focus of this section will be mostly be on the issues facing ethnic Vietnamese that were residing in the country prior to 1975. While successive waves of migration from Vietnam continued, and some of these people could in the future be at risk of statelessness, this profile examines those with the strongest claims to citizenship in Cambodia. History The experience of Vietnamese-Cambodians has been shaped by historic animosity between Cambodia and Vietnam, stemming from Vietnam’s occupation and colonization of Cambodia in the 1830s that has in turn influenced Khmer xenophobic nationalism and fueled anti- Vietnamese sentiment up to the present day. The presence of Vietnamese in Cambodia before the 1970s can be traced into four distinct groups with different histories of migration: rice farmers that began to settle the Mekong delta in the 18th and 19th century, continuing up to the 1960s; those that staffed the French colonial administration in Phnom Penh; the fishing communities of Tonle Sap lake and the Mekong; and rubber plantation workers also brought in by the French administration. By 1970 there were around 400,000 ethnic Vietnamese in Cambodia, constituting the largest minority in the country. In 1970, military leader Lon Nol seized power of the country and began a propaganda campaign against ethnic Vietnamese to legitimize his rule. He began a process of forced repatriation for ethnic Vietnamese, despite few having remaining ties to Vietnam, resulting in the expulsion of around 200,000 to South Vietnam, the massacre of thousands of others, and prison-like detention for those who remained. In 1975, the communist Khmer Rouge seized control of the country. All minorities were perceived as a threat to the regime and targeted for extermination, yet ethnic Vietnamese were particularly reviled. The 150,000 to 200,000 ethnic Vietnamese that still remained in Cambodia in 1975 fled to Vietnam, leaving around 20,000 ethnic Vietnamese, the large majority of whom were targeted and killed. Following the overthrow of the Khmer Rouge by Vietnam in 1979 and the installation of a new administration, ethnic Vietnamese who had fled the country began to return to the country. The government was prepared to facilitate the return of long-term Vietnamese-Cambodian communities, acknowledging them as a distinct category, but not explicitly as citizens. Estimates suggest that there were approximately 300,000 Vietnamese in Cambodia in the 1980s, plus many thousands of Vietnamese military personnel. During the era of the United Nations Transitional Authority in Cambodia (UNTAC), anti- Vietnamese sentiment intensified. The Khmer Rouge, under the auspices of the PDK with support from other political parties, called for the removal of ‘Vietnamese settlers,’ inciting violence and attacks on Vietnamese that continued throughout the 1990s, tapering off after the 1998 elections. 2/5 Current situation The new laws and regulations that were put in place in post-conflict Cambodia tended to exacerbate the situation of ethnic Vietnamese, rather than improve it. The 1993 Constitution guarantees rights and freedoms regardless of race, but it often uses the Khmer word for ‘Khmer citizen’ or ‘Khmer people’, perpetuating the notion of citizenship based on Khmer ethnicity, entrenching the status of ethnic Vietnamese as non-citizens. The 1996 Law on Nationality continued exclusionary language that bases citizenship on Khmer ethnicity. The law allows for four means by which to acquire citizenship: birth, marriage, naturalization or another special basis like investment. In the case of naturalization, the law requires that the applicant be of ‘good behaviour’, be literate in written and spoken Khmer, and live continuously in the country for seven years from the date of receiving legal residency, among other requirements. The decision to confer citizenship under this provision rests on an administrative authority, but without a sub-decree that specifies the responsible authority or procedures, there are large gaps left in the application of the law. Former nationality laws are also relevant, as they are legally applicable to those who were born at the time of their functioning, which includes the 1934 Nationality law under the French protectorate and the 1954 Law on Nationality under Sihanouk. Those born under the latter law have a strong claim for citizenship, as it allowed for citizenship to be conferred if only one parent was born in Cambodia, without a legal residency requirement like the current law. Yet most ethnic Vietnamese do not have the documentation with which to prove their claims to citizenship, mostly as a result of expulsion in the 1970s, where they were forced to leave their belongings behind, and the systematic destruction of all civil registration records by the Khmer Rouge. Cambodian officials have routinely treated ethnic Vietnamese under the ‘foreign nationals’ or ‘immigrants’ category, despite their strong claims for citizenship. At the same time, their status as Vietnamese citizens is also uncertain, with significant gaps in the country’s existing legal frameworks on their claims to citizenship. Without recognition of citizenship or supporting documentation, ethnic Vietnamese cannot access identity cards. About 10 per cent of the community studied by MIRO have identity cards, but they were largely secured through bribing officials, an option that is financially out of reach for most. In another study by MIRO, only 5 per cent of 414 ethnic Vietnamese surveyed in Takeo, Kampong Chhnang and Pursat had birth certificates. Cambodian law allows children of foreigners or immigrants living legally in the country to be issued a birth certificate, but local officials have conflated issuing birth certificates with conferring nationality: consequently ethnic Vietnamese have been prevented from registering births, thereby perpetuating statelessness for the next generation. Without this identification, they are denied the benefits of Cambodian citizenship, living in a legally precarious position, cut off from social security safety nets. Without birth certificates, children are excluded from accessing the education system. A MIRO study found that only 9 3/5 per cent of ethnic Vietnamese in Kampong Chhnang go to state schools. Similarly they are barred from accessing healthcare and other social services. As foreigners cannot own land in Cambodia, many ethnic Vietnamese have no option but to reside in boats and floating houses on waterways. Their situation affects almost every aspect of their lives: they cannot open bank accounts or have access to legal credit options, they cannot vote, they cannot travel. Furthermore, they are prevented from accessing the judicial system or make complaints to authorities. Without the security of citizenship or robust knowledge of the law, officials prey on ethnic Vietnamese to extort bribes. For example, many have reported being harassed by police to ‘pay taxes’ for fishing. In 2015, ethnic Vietnamese long resident in the country were reportedly being asked to pay for a bi-annual immigration fee, despite their documentation up to date. Others are arrested and jailed for a lack of identification. Ways forward Addressing the legal status of ethnic Vietnamese in Cambodia is of urgent concern. Ahead of elections scheduled for July 2018, amid heightened anti-Vietnamese sentiment, there are already increasingly vocal demands for deportation being made. While

  • Seeking Justice in Cambodia Realism
    Seeking Justice in Cambodia By Gregory H. Stanton When the Khmer Rouge regime took power in Cambodia in 1975, its leaders hoped to establish a utopian rural communist society without cities, private property or money. They declared a new beginning of history, Year Zero, and a new nation, Democratic Kampuchea. Although they modeled their revolution on the Soviet Union under Stalin and China under Mao Tse-Tung, they believed those regimes had not gone far enough, fast enough in killing class enemies. The Khmer Rouge also eschewed the cults of personality established by Stalin and Mao. Instead the secretive Khmer Rouge power elite named themselves the Angkar, the organization, and claimed absolute obedience from every Kampuchean. Religion and worship were abolished. Buddhist monks were disrobed and often killed. Muslim Chams and the few Christians were murdered at a rate much higher than ordinary Kampucheans. Vietnamese Cambodians were forced to flee to Vietnam until 1977, when the border was closed and the remaining Vietnamese were murdered. Minority ethnic groups were forced to live in Khmer-speaking communes, and forbidden to speak their languages and practice their customs. The Khmer Rouge systematically stripped rural communes of the rice they produced in order to trade it to China for weapons and machines. They substituted traditional herbal treatments for scientific “foreign” medicine and neither manufactured nor imported modern antibiotics. “New people” originally from the cities were declared to be class enemies and were literally worked to death. By 1977, the failures of the Kampuchean economy were blamed on enemies within the Communist party, and purges began all over the country.

  • 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.

The objective of this study was to examine the general situation of Cambodian agriculture by comparing with neighboring countries in Southeast Asia from a period of 22 years (1996 – 2018) through cultivate areas, technical using, technologies using, fertilizer using, agricultural infrastructure system, agricultural production cost, agricultural output, agricultural market and climate change. The results show that the Cambodian agriculture sector is still at a level where there is significant need to improve the capacity of farmers, the new technologies use and the prevention of climate change. However, the production cost is still high cost and agricultural output has been in low prices. It also causes for farmers to lose confidence in farming and they will be stop working in the sector. Moreover, we also have other policies to improve agriculture sector in Cambodia. JEL classifications : F13, O13, Q13, Q16, Q18.
