THE SON OF THE KHMER EMPIRE ​កម្ពុជាត្រូវការមេដឹកនាំថ្មីតែមិនមែនក្រុមក្បត់ជាតិនេះទេ!

Sent to Khmerization by an anonymous reader.The draft statute of international laws enumerates four different categories of war crimes. The first two categories apply to international armed conflicts and are largely based on well-established principles of international law. Here is brief support for Category B:

B. Other serious violations of the laws and customs applicable in international armed conflicts , these provisions are derived largely from the Hague law.

- targeting civilians;(Thailand targeting Cambodian civilian in the Feb and april clashed )
- targeting buildings devoted to art or science; (Thailand targeted Preah Vihear Temple on 04/02/2011 clashed)

The use of particular weapons(Thailand used cluster bombs in the Feb and April 2011 clashed against Cambodia), such as poison or poisoned weapons, gas weapons, (Thailand used poison or poisoned weapons in the Feb and April 2011 clashed against Cambodia), chemical weapons and bacteriological weapons; also constituting a grave breach of the Geneva Conventions.

The long arms of the international laws will catch up with Thailand soon if Thailand still acting ruthlessly against Cambodia .

Kandal provincial police have arrested a 28-year-old man on suspicion of killing a popular opposition activist earlier this week.

Police say they arrested Lim Veasna, a father of two in Kien Svay district, Thursday evening with traces of blood on his clothes, and said they had suspected him because he belongs to a group of drug users.

They are still looking for two more suspects and are assuming a motive of robbery in the Wednesday killing of Ouk Chhan, 64, a Sam Rainsy Party activist and likely candidate commune council in 2012.

But Sam Rainsy Party officials said Friday they believe the true killer or killers remain at large.

“It was politically motivated, and the Sam Rainsy Party will follow up closely and request that the authorities find the real murderers,” said Chan Cheng, an opposition lawmaker for Kandal province.

Eav Sam Roeun, chief of Kandal police, said an investigation was ongoing. “We are searching for two more, to show and reply to the political allegations”, he said.

Am Sam Ath, lead investigator for the rights group Licadho, said the murder could have been a coincidence and a robbery. “We will continue to investigate and to verify,” he said.

On 30 May 2011 from 16.00-18.00 hrs., the Thai legal team pleaded before the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague on the first day of the oral hearings on Cambodia’s request submitted on 28 April 2011 for indication of provisional measures, pending the Court’s consideration of the request for the interpretation of its 1962 judgment in the case concerning the Temple of Phra Viharn.

Thailand points out Cambodia accepted its compliance with ICJ Judgment of 1962; boundary line of whole stretch remains to be demarcated through negotiations.

On May 30, 2011 from 4pm to 6pm, the Thai legal team pleaded before the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague on the first day of the oral hearings on Cambodia’s request submitted on April 28 for indication of provisional measures, pending the Court’s consideration of the request for the interpretation of its 1962 judgment in the case concerning the Temple of Phra Viharn.

Following the revelation of the taped conversation between Kem Sokha, HRP president, and Hun Xen which led the public to believe that the HRP was formed by the ruling CPP party, Kem Sokha confirmed that he is clean man and that he is willing to take an oath so that lightning would strike him if he is indeed a CPP puppet.

Kem Sokha declared in front of national news media that he and the HRP are not CPP puppets, and the HRP was not formed to serve the CPP or Hun Xen. “If we are superstitious, let lightning strike me and destroy me if I am bad person as I am accused. Let lightning strike me.”

Kem Sokha said that the leak of the taped conversation between him and Hun Xen was done by the CPP to break the democratic voice.

Nevertheless, yesterday, the SRP office issued a statement condemning Kem Sokha’s betrayal, and the SRP stated that Hun Xen and Kem Sokha showed their common goal of destroying the SRP.

Lok Prem,

 

Thank you for forwarding the article of acharn Anan Krudphet. It is interesting and basically factually correct; his argument is basically the same as that of Archarn Charnvit Kasetsiri’s, see attached, — that the Thailand had accepted the map, the line on the map and the 1904, 1907 treaties. It was PM Pibul Sangream who revised it.

 

In 1939, (onset of of WWII when Thailand wanted to harass French/france in cambodia) it was Vichetr Watkorn (che Leng) who noted the inconsistencies between the definition of the 1904 treaty’s provision  and the line as indicated on the map (the Dangrek (Preah Vihear) Section map) and used or promoted it as the pretext.

 

of note, in 1930, when Prince Damrong, (who was the Minister of Interior and who had been involved in the 1904/1907 treaty/maps negotiations and who accepted the maps from the French),  visited PV temple, he did seek french permission to enter the Temple/the khmer territory as pointed out by Dr. Charnvit here. becaue he knew that the temple was cambodia’s. The Prince was a Suprem Counselor to King Chulalongkara (Rama V) and held the title of Api Ratmuntri (Senior Minister); he was not simply a president of a private society as claimed by the Thai authorities/party in the ICJ proceedings 1961 and 2011.

Hello Mr. PM Hun Sen and Khmer brothers and sisters. I’m one of Khmers krom, but I’m not living in Cambodia either in Kampuchea krom. Actually, I came to the United States for thirty years ago. I’m writing this letter to you PM Hun Sen because I have been admiring and supporting you from the bottom of my heart. Compared to a several previous generation, you are a good leader. However, I’m sure that you might-have-been remembered what happened before 1970 when the King of Sihanouk was a chairman at the time. I didn’t mean to make him feel bad about what he did, but I just can’t keep it in my heart forever. Sihanouk mess up the country because he fed alligator (HoChiMinh); he himself also knew what he did. In the last few decades, Cambodia had lost so much land just because of the Khmer Empire. Thai, Vietnamese communist, and Lao tried to take advantage of Khmers King kindness, and stool our land. Now is the 21st Century, the young will not repeat the mistake that the old generation had made in the past. My understanding is, Cambodia government will be allowed to all foreigners who want to live in Cambodia, but they must follow the rule of Government just like other Khmer citizens. Here are several rules that they must be following: 1) they must learn the language, 2) they must be able to fill out of the legal documents, 3) they must joint army and serve just like other Khmers do, 4) if they act against the government then they will sentence to prison for life or death penalty, 4) all of the government documents must be Khmers and English languages only.

I had proved and seen in my own eyes that Yuon Hanoi and Thieu’s regime alleged that they wanted Khmers krom to die, so they were always put Khmers krom in front-line just like Thai did to Khmers Surin. I felt sad and sick in my stomach when I saw Khmers died in irrational way. This is not funny to Cambodian people at all. This is a serious matter that Khmers leader should pay a closer attention. Khmers young generation can do better but depend on a leader.

 My understanding is the Education department of Cambodia must create the flyers and small books, and the comment will be written a brief explanation about the history of Cambodian people and original Geography. It can help Khmers Phnom Pen, Khmers Surin, and Khmers Krom to understand more about Cambodian people and Geography. On the other hand, the Cambodia Government must drop the flyers all over the provinces where the Khmers Surin are living.

Therefore, Cambodia Government must show them respect, welcome, and promise that we were born in the same blood and language. God of Buddhism will bless and bring Khmers Phnom Pen, Khmers Surin, and Khmers Krom together in one Nation and united. I believe that Khmers will defeat the enemies because Khmers are tall, strong, brave, confident, and well trained. God knows Khmers can do it. So please, think about it twice. We come together, we will develop a better Cambodia and live a better life. As a result, if you agree or disagree of my opinions, please email me at newpageofhistory@yahoo.com thanks! We are Khmers, we were born in the same blood and language.
