Cambodge Soir22-10-2008
Kem Sokha’s party asked the government to apply to the letter of the 1991 Paris agreements and is in favour of celebrating October 23 throughout the Kingdom.
On the 17th anniversary of the Paris Agreements, the HRP (Human Right Party) sent an open letter to the government inviting it to respect the main points of the agreements, such as “to respect human rights and pluralist democracy”.
According to the HRP, the government put aside the October 23 date, only celebrating January 7, the day Cambodia was “freed” from the Pol Pot regime. HRP proposed that “October 23 should be celebrated as a national holiday”, and enjoined the contracting States to respect the spirit of this Agreement and in particular the aspects regarding “national sovereignty and national integrity”.
The HRP took this opportunity to expose Thai manoeuvres “one of the contracting States, sharing a border with Cambodia which should withdraw its soldiers from Cambodian territory, pursuant to article 18 of the Paris Agreements”.
