Question 3794 — foreign policy

Summary

Mr Buon Tan draws the attention of the Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs to the deterioration of the political situation in Cambodia. 26 years ago, almost to the day, the Paris Accords on Cambodia put an end to the civil war that had gripped the country for three decades, causing at least 2 million deaths. These agreements, of which France is the guarantor, initiated a new era for Cambodia and represented the hope of a true democracy. Today, thousands of French people of Cambodian origin living in France are questioning the reality of this commitment. The coercive measures put in place for several months by the government of Prime Minister Hun Sen have put a halt to the country's democratization process. The forced exile of Mr. Sam Rainsy, leader of the opposition party, then the imprisonment of his successor Mr. Kem Sokha, does not are not acceptable in a rule of law. International observers present on site also highlight the forced dissolution of local associations for the protection of human rights and the suppression of independent newspapers and radio stations. Thus, he questions him on the proposals from the Quai d'Orsay to relaunch the country's democratization process and defend the rule of law and human rights in Cambodia.
