International Community (25th – 29th August 2025)
| UN human rights experts have raised alarms over what they call "systemic harassment" of the Indigenous Khmer Krom community in Vietnam. The experts noted that at least 17 monks, activists, and human rights defenders have been arrested and handed down "disproportionate sentences" for peacefully exercising their rights. http://bit.ly/3HXPl80; Cambodia rejected Thai reports that its troops recently planted a landmine that wounded a soldier near Ta Krabey Temple along the Oddar Meanchey border, an act that would violate Phnom Penh’s commitment to ban anti-personnel mines. Senior military officials from Cambodia and Thailand reaffirmed their commitment to maintaining peace along the shared border following an Extraordinary Regional Border Committee (RBC) meeting held on August 27 in Si Saket, Thailand. |
