Prime Minister Hun Sen has urged all Cambodians to protect hard-earned peace and oppose any possible interference into internal affairs by foreign countries, citing a political crisis in Venezuela where an opposition leader took power from the incumbent president.
The Cambodia Human Rights Committee (CHRC) led a delegation to participate in the 32nd Universal Periodic Review (UPR) at the UN in Geneva, Switzerland, for the third time, it said in a press release issued on Friday. It said Cambodia had already submitted documents last November for the review.

Deputy Prime Minister Sar Kheng said on Sunday there is a 50 per cent possibility that outlawed opposition leader Sam Rainsy would return to Cambodia as his diplomatic measures abroad had reached a dead-end.
Defense Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Tea Banh on Wednesday criticized those urging foreign countries to cancel Cambodia’s Everything But Arms (EBA) trade preferences with the EU, saying they were looking for a “colour revolution”. He singled out former opposition leader Sam Rainsy by calling him a liar, reiterating his stance against Mr Rainsy and any movement aiming to resurrect the dissolved CNRP. The ministry also issued a statement strongly condemning self-exiled former opposition leader Sam Rainsy for appealing to the Cambodian army to rise against the government.https://reut.rs/2RZInUS; https://bit.ly/2Gdf1ve; https://bit.ly/2RXKoku; https://bit.ly/2DOamy7
