UN Deputy High Commissioner for Human Rights Flavia Pansieri concludes her visit to Cambodia
Press Conference, 2 May 2014, Phnom Penh
Good afternoon and thank you all for coming.
I am about to conclude my first visit to Cambodia as the Deputy High Commissioner for Human Rights.
During my five-day visit, I met with counterparts from the Royal
Government, the United Nations Country Team and the diplomatic
community, as well as civil society. The visit also allowed me to review
the human rights situation in Cambodia, areas of progress and
opportunities for improvement.
In this context, I held constructive meetings with the Deputy Prime
Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation,
His Excellency Hor Nam Hong, and the President of the Cambodian Human
Rights Committee, His Excellency Om YengTieng, as well as with other
authorities.
As is customary at the end of official missions such as this, I would
like to make some observations and recommendations with regard to the
current human rights situation in the country.
Freedom of expression and peaceful assembly
