UN Human Rights Council 49: UK statement for the interactive dialogue with the Special Rapporteur on Cambodia
The UK delivered this statement welcoming Cambodia바카라 사이트™s long-standing cooperation with the OHCHR on human rights and progress on economic, social and cultural rights.
Thank you, Mr President.
The United Kingdom would like to thank Professor Muntarbhorn for his update on the human rights situation in Cambodia.
We are concerned that the judiciary is being used to stifle debate, restrict media freedom and encourage self-censorship. The UK advocates that the Royal 바카라 사이트 of Cambodia embrace an open dialogue with all Cambodians including civil society, political parties and communities ahead of the local and national elections in 2022 and 2023 And we urge the 바카라 사이트 to embrace and encourage an open and inclusive discourse.
The UK welcomes Cambodia바카라 사이트™s long-standing cooperation with the OHCHR on human rights and progress on economic, social and cultural rights. We see this as a positive indication of their commitment to engage on human rights issues. We remain committed to engaging with Cambodia to support a human rights-based approach to development, including through Cambodia바카라 사이트™s ASEAN Chairmanship in 2022.
Special Rapporteur,
What measures do you believe the 바카라 사이트 needs to take to ensure that political parties can fully and fairly participate in local and national elections in 2022 and 2023?
Thank you.
