Impact of Barak Obama
visits Cambodia
Local and international newspapers reported, the prime minister Hun Sen
met with American president Barak Obama on November 19, 2012. Obama raised some
concern related to human rights Cambodia and also free and fair election in
2013. Concerning human rights violation, Hun Sen said that Cambodia follows the
rule of law therefore everything shall be under the court to decide someone
guilty or not.
However, it's known that the court system in Cambodia is under the
influence from the executive brand (government). When the government wants to punish
someone is easy to do it.
During the ASEAN summits, the community people who are victims of land
grabbing protesting and authority banned their activities. Even the people who
spray on the top roof for seeking intervention from US also were arrested.
Eight community members – six women and two men –
from Thmor Kol Village by Phnom Penh International Airport were
arrested this morning and are currently detained at a local police
station. The arrests follow the community spray-painting “SOS” and
posting pictures of US President Obama on their rooftops in response to
eviction notices issued to at least 165 households by the airport. Last
night, local authorities including some 30 armed police officers arrived
in the village, warning residents that they could face arrest if they
did not remove SOS signs.
Government of Cambodia also requested US to cancel Cambodia's debt.
However, Obama replied that such debt will be transferred to develop in
Cambodia. The further discussion will be made later.
If Cambodian government doesn't receive recommendations from US
president, the Cambodian government might face some problems like economic
status. For example, free tax of textile export to US. If US bans product from
Cambodia, thousand of factory workers would have jobless and they would demand
the government to seek jobs for them. China cannot help Cambodia to grow on
business because Cambodia doesn't have goods to export China. However, China
doesn't care about the human rights abuse. She gave only the loan and let government
does something what it's wanted.
After the Obama met with Hun Sen, Law Journal of Cambodia thought that Cambodian government will improve everything for example: forthcoming election, 2013, human rights situation and judicial system.
It's believed that after Obama leaves Cambodia, the Cambodian
government head would reconsider to improve human rights, free and fair
election and judicial system to meet international standard in order to exchange the
cancellation of debt and to be sustainable economic for the country.
