Summary
Reaffirms the U.S. commitment to promote democracy, human rights, and the rule of law in Cambodia. Condemns political violence in Cambodia and urges the cessation of human rights violations. Urges: Prime Minister Hun Sen and the Cambodian People's Party to end all harassment and intimidation of Cambodia's opposition and foster an environment where democracy can thrive and flourish; the Department of State to consider placing all senior Cambodian government officials implicated in such abuses on the Specially Designated Nationals list; the Cambodian government to free Mr. Kem Sokha and to respect freedom of the press and the rights of its citizens to freely assemble, protest, and speak out against the government; and the President to communicate to the Cambodian government that if it ignores the recommendations of the international community and maintains the current restrictive and intimidating political environment, the U.S. government will have to determine that the 2018 elections were not conducted freely or fairly. Supports electoral reform efforts in Cambodia and free and fair elections in 2018.
