Cambodia on Friday warned the UN mission not to act out of its mandate and interfere in the internal affairs of a UN member state.
The statement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation was a response to the statement of the UN country team on Wednesday saying the adoption of Cambodia's anticorruption law should "undergo a transparent and participatory consultation process."
Moreover, the UN country team in its statement also "encourages the National Assembly to allow sufficient time for Parliamentarians, civil society, donors and the UN to study the law so that if and where deemed necessary, amendments may be proposed for consideration."
The foreign ministry's statement said that the UN country team commented on the adoption process of the Cambodian Anti-Corruption Law "as though it was lecturing the Royal Government of Cambodia on what to do about this law."
"This so-called UN Country Team should not act out of its mandate, in flagrantly interfering in the internal affairs of a UN member state," the statement said.
