Closing Speech by Samdech Techo Hun Sen at the 5th University Scholars Leadership Symposium 2014 Under the Theme “Dream It, Plan It, Do It”
[August 06, 2014]
CNV: 06/08/2014
Excellencies, Lok Chumteavs, Distinguished Delegates,
National and International Guests, Ladies and Gentlemen!
National and International Guests, Ladies and Gentlemen!
Today I am pleased to participate in the closing ceremony of the “5th University Scholars Leadership Symposium 2014”held under the theme of “Dream It, Plan It, Do It“.
At the outset, I would like to thank the Humanitarian Affairs UK, the
youth and distinguished guests for supporting and choosing Cambodia as
the host of the 5th University Scholars Leadership Symposium 2014” held from 1st to 7th August 2014, in Phnom Penh Capital City.
Seizing
this opportunity, I would like to highly commend and value the
cooperation effort between the Ministry of Tourism, the Union of Youth
Federations of Cambodia, the Ministry of Education Youth and Sport, the
Ministry of Environment, and relevant ministries-institutions for
successfully organizing this 5th Symposium
with the participation of promising youth—the young intellectuals
coming from universities around the world. I am also very thankful to
the national and international guest speakers for having shared your
knowledge, know-how, new concepts, best practices and valuable
experience in this 5-day Symposium, along with my great appreciation for
the dynamic contribution from all national and international
participants in a sense of responsibility and in the spirit of sharing
and friendship for the development and triumph for all.
As mentioned in the report by H.E Mr. HUN MANY, the President of the Union of Youth Federations of Cambodia, this Symposium is held under the theme of “Dream It, Plan It, Do It”, which is not only the international conference contributing to the promotional campaign of Cambodia’s tourism potentials “Cambodia: Kingdom of Wonder”
on the international scene, but also provides the opportunities for the
Cambodian youth to exchange knowledge and best experiences with the
others, a great chance to understand and communicate between each other,
especially to swap experiences with speakers who are well versed in
humanity, society, and environment along with new inspiration from
well-known and highly experienced professors in the region and the
world.
I
believe that this event will continue to serve as a platform for
Cambodian youth to have better understanding about their roles and
obligations in respect of humanitarian, social and environmental fronts
which are valuable contribution to sustainable development, growth and
equitable distribution of growth responding to the Royal Government’s
policy on “Cambodian Youth Development”,
aimed at developing youth to become physically, mentally and morally
qualified individuals in a bid to make them become good citizens. This
Symposium is also a great opportunity for the youth to build the
capacities in on top of will, commitment, and professional conscience.
In
fact, this international conference is held in a country that has
passed through prolonged wars, genocide and internal divisions for
several decades as a result of the outsiders’ interference into
Cambodian society and the political ideology of the cold war. In the
pursuit of full peace, reconciliation, and harmony witnessed today, this
unfortunate territory and nation has passed through enormous and
unprecedented losses, suffering and tragedy. To date, even though
Cambodia and Cambodian nationals have managed to achieve peace,
security, and national reconciliation under the umbrella of single
Constitution, King, and Royal Government, but our nation has yet to be
able to completely overcome both physical and non-physical consequences,
scars and residues left by the prolonged wars and tragedies in the
past.
Cambodia
has been enjoying full peace, security, political stability, social
order, and development of all sectors. In 2013 we achieved the economic
growth of approximately 7.6% while GDP increased to more than USD 15
billion and GDP per capita increased to USD 1,036. The 2014 economic
growth rate is projected to be 7.5%. This optimistic growth prospect can
be achieved through the contribution of all people, in particular youth
who are the potential active labor force. In this sense, I highly value
this important theme of the Symposium, which clearly reflects the
experience sharing of outstanding youth from all over the world as well
as Cambodia. The reflection of reality of youth’s life progress and
constant social evolution through teaching youth how to be creative and
innovative and better understand themselves in the social context while
we are all aware that sometimes due to their immaturity, boldness and
vigorousness, youth are becoming the objective of political exploitation
and victims, made easy by their lack of consideration and easy
acceptance of political ideology and irresponsible political propaganda.
In this connection, I am delighted to see the maturity of Cambodian
youth reflected through their bold activities aiming to support the
efforts of the Royal Government and people of Cambodia as a whole to
ensure peace, security, political stability, social order, and the pace
of development in order for the nation’s progress and prosperity for the
Cambodian people from all walks of life.
Overall,
the deliberation of the theme of this Symposium enable youth to better
understand themselves by starting from being able to initiate and plan
to carrying out real activities in any business in the cause of new
achievements for individual and social interest. In this regard, youth
participation is needed and invaluable for the development of the
country. In other words, given the current context we can say that “Youth
spearheads change and innovation and they are the strong pillars for
propelling countries toward development, progress, peace and social
stability“, which requires us to provide them with enough knowledge
and opportunity to engage in all social activities, including charitable
activities, social activities, economy, culture, environment, etc. On
behalf of the Royal Government of Cambodia, I would like to call for all
relevant ministries-institutions, national and international
organizations, private sector “to work together for youth development and youth empowerment”.
In this context, we must consider “youth the core of socio-economic
development opportunities” requiring all the youth to be competent and
creative to integrate themselves into the new political trends and
fiercely competing and rapidly evolving socio-economic activities in the
context of globalization.
Taking
this auspicious occasion, in a sense to promote youth participation and
youth empowerment, I would like to provide the following
recommendations:
- Increasing opportunities for youth participation in economic development
At
present, Cambodia is a country with the largest percentage of young
population in the ASEAN region, i.e. around 5 million people, equivalent
to 30% of the population, age between 15 to 29 years old, and this
number will increase to 40% of the total population in 2020. Given this,
I request the relevant ministries-institutions, private sector,
national and international organizations to step up the collaboration,
jointly strive to improve the job market and youth entrepreneurship and
strengthen partnerships with youth from all walks of life by providing
education, training and experience to enable them participate in the
liberalized job market. In this respect, I would propose the
establishment of a movement widely participated by all stakeholders that
include public sector, private sector, local communities, national and
international organizations, social organizations to prepare youth
development program in each entity aimed to provide career orientation
for youth to better seize market opportunities, to encourage more active
participation of youth in social activities, to strengthen youth’s role
and participation in public service, and to provide opportunities for
and support youth entrepreneurship.
- Improving education and skill development for youth:
Overall,
the Royal Government of Cambodia has been focusing on promoting
socio-economic development to achieve new progress and high
competitiveness compared to countries in the region and create job
opportunities for youth from all walks of life. In this regard, I
request the relevant ministries-institutions, national and international
organizations, and development partners to further contribute to
providing quality and effective education and training to strengthen
competency, knowledge and skill of Cambodian youth and jointly increase
job opportunities to help address youth unemployment. Moreover, we must
strengthen and expand skill training program for youth who dropped out
of school or failed to complete high school in order for them to have
required skill and earn their living.
- Promoting professionalization of youth
To
this end, I wish encourage the private sector to offer more
opportunities to students who are studying in the university or
technical training and education institutions to carry out an internship
before graduating in order for them to get not only theoretical
knowledge and practical skill, but also new opportunity through their
direct involvement with the real work environment. In addition, in order
to promote professionalism, competence, knowledge and skill on top of
what they learn from educational institutions, I would propose the
establishment of a permanent platform for sharing knowledge, experiences
and success stories among youth in the job market and youth attending
educational institutions through the creation of Youth Development
Directorate System.
- Promoting youth participation in public and social service
In
the context of globalization, constantly evolving society and
relentless development that require us to take into account the
principle of environmental sustainability, youth participation through
their knowledge and skill has been playing an important role in the
field of environment and heritage. Actually, their contribution to
humanitarian activities, voluntary work in communities, preparation of
small projects to respond to community’s needs, participation in
environmental activities, trees planting, the preservation and
conservation of cultural heritage all contribute to the effective
protection and preservation of the environment and culture. It is true
that youth has a special potential in increasing and creating
initiatives, innovation, creativity in new fields with boldness, clear
conscience and determination that contribute to economic, social,
environmental and cultural development. In particular, I would like to
highly commend the Union of Youth Federations of Cambodia for
contributing to social, humanitarian and environmental activities of the
Royal Government of Cambodia, especially the successful annual
organization of “Angkor Sankranta”
highlighting the role of youth in promoting and enhancing the values of
culture and heritage as well as Cambodian tourism attractiveness.
Meanwhile, I call for more opportunities for youth to participate in the
provision of public services to local communities through the creation
of field trip and encourage youth staff of all firms to involve in
social and environment activities through encouraging firms to have
their own program for their staff to actively participate in
humanitarian, social and environmental activities. In this sense, I call
on the Union of Youth Federations of Cambodia to collaborate with
relevant ministries-institutions to set up a national volunteering
platform for both Cambodian and international youth by supporting the
movement of tree planting, environment cleaning, training, experience
exchange and provision of assistance to local communities and so on. I
believe that accepting foreign volunteers to work in Cambodia is a
catalyst for attracting tourists, especially more inflow of youth as
volunteer tourists, international tourists along with dynamic flow of
domestic tourists. In this context, I deeply appreciate the spirit of
this Symposium which has initiated establishment of a common platform
for the development of volunteer tourism in Cambodia, which will act as a
platform facilitating foreign students or experts to find voluntary
works in Cambodia and promoting the development of comprehensive
programs for accepting volunteers to Cambodia, especially youth.
Once
again, I would like to express my deep thanks to the national and
international guest speakers for having shared knowledge, know-how, new
concept, experience and best practices in the Symposium. I highly
appreciate the lively contribution from all national and international
participants in a sense of responsibility, sharing and friendship for
the development and triumph for all to this 5-day event, “The 5th University Scholars Leadership Symposium 2014” held in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, I would like to lend my full support to the “Joint Declaration on the Outcome of the 5th Symposium“,
which is a common voice of all parties involved especially youth, and
is expected to become a roadmap for the development of youth in Cambodia
and the whole world.
Before
closing, I strongly hope that this Symposium will provide many benefits
for the youth to learn and gain knowledge, new concepts, leadership and
best practices through presentation of and communication with our
well-known and experienced speakers. This knowledge will inspire youth
to understand and prepare themselves for contribution to national
development in a sense of responsibility and in accordance with the
spirit of the youth development policy of the Royal Government of
Cambodia.
Finally,
I wish Excellencies, Lok Chumteavs, Distinguished Delegates, National
and International Guests, Ladies and Gentlemen happiness, prosperity in
all your endeavors, and four gems of the Buddhist Blessings: Longevity,
Nobility, Healthiness, and Strength.
May I now declare the closing of “The 5th University Scholars Leadership Symposium 2014”.

COMMENTARY: Today’s Verdict of the ECCC Is a Resounding Success of the Model Court in Cambodia
The Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of
Cambodia (ECCC) on August 7, 2014 has reached a milestone with the delivery of
the verdict in case 002/01against Khieu Samphan and Nuon Chea indicted for (i)
the evacuation of an estimate of between 1.5 to 2.6 million people of Phnom
Penh to the countryside from the morning of April 17, 1975, (ii) the subsequent
movement of nearly 1 million people between different regions of the country
between late 1975 and continuing to 1976 and 1977, and (iii) the execution of
former high ranking and provincial officials of Lon Nol regime at Tuol Po Chrey
execution site from 1975 through to 1977 where from 2,000 to 3,000 were massacred.
Tuol Po Chrey is located in the province of
Pursat. Khieu Samphan was the president of the state presidium of
Democratic Kampuchea (Khmer Rouge) from 1976 until 1979. Nuon Chea was former
chief ideologist of Khmer Rouge. Both were convicted life imprisonment for
crimes against humanity and war crimes.
It is worth mentioning that in
February 2012, the judgment of the case 001 was delivered with the conviction
of the director of the notorious S-21 prison Kaing Guek Eav, aka Duch for
crimes against humanity and war crimes.
In 1997 under the request of the
Royal Government of Cambodia (RGC) with the United Nations (UN) to assist
Cambodia in establishing a trial to prosecute senior leaders of the Khmer
Rouge, the ECCC was established on the basis that there must be no impunity for
the most serious international crimes.
On various occasions, His
Excellency Dr. Sok An, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister in charge of the
Office of the Council of Ministers informed official foreign visitors and score
of meetings of Cambodian officials and people since the establishment of the
ECCC that the trial of the leaders of senior Khmer Rouge will leave a profound
“sense of remembrance and non-recurrence” of the regime of terror of the Khmer
Rouge in the heart and mind of the Cambodian people and all the people
worldwide.
Concerning the functioning of the
ECCC, the remarkable judicial process which had been proven to be independent
and meeting the international standard of due process for the defendants until
the delivery of the judgment are the affirmation that the efforts of the UN and
the RGC and the assistance by many countries, friends of the ECCC would have
been viewed to be a collective success of all the people involved in the
service of mankind.
His Excellency Dr. Sok An Deputy
Prime Minister of the Royal Government of Cambodia and Mr. Stephen Mathias,
Assistant Secretary-General for Legal Affairs of the United Nations have issued
a Joint Statement soon after the delivery of the judgment to express their deep
appreciation to judges and prosecutors, lawyers, court officials and staff,
both national and international who have contributed to this process. They were
both optimistic about the long-term commitment, both internationally and
nationally, to provide ECCC with the necessary resources to ensure that justice
is done for the people of Cambodia.
Undoubtedly, the ECCC is the
model court that will leave a legacy in rendering justice to the victims of the
genocide. It is a warning that those who committed crimes against humanity and
war crimes wherever they are, on which continents they live, justice will find
them and through due process in the court of law they will pay for their crimes
like Khieu Samphan and Nuon Chea.

Speech by Samdech Techo Hun Sen at the Closing of the General Assembly of the Sixth-Term Cambodian Red Cross
CNV: 07/08/2014
Excellencies, Lok Oknha, Distinguished National and International Guests,
Dear all the Participants!
Today,
I am delighted to participate in the closing of the “the General
Assembly of the Sixth-Term Cambodian Red Cross” held over the last two
days. This General Assembly is a great opportunity for us to take stock
of the achievements of the Fifth-Term Cambodian Red Cross and review
progress and challenges in the implementation of the Cambodian Red Cross
Strategy 2011 – 2020 which has four core areas, viz. disaster
management, promotion of health and healthcare in community, promotion
of humanitarian principles and values, and institutional development and
resource development aimed to enhance the efficiency and garner trust
from the public, especially to materialize new achievements in the sixth
term and beyond. In this spirit, I strongly believe that the General
Assembly has thoroughly reviewed and deliberated the work implemented to
date and diagnosed the root of the problems faced by the organization
to serve as the basis for reforming program activities and setting new
direction for the new term in the cause of contributing to humanitarian
sector, rescue of lives, reduction of the hardship and material shortage
of people, especially the acceleration of poverty reduction and
enhancement of the living standard of the people.
Taking
this opportunity, I would like to express my high appreciation to all
levels of the management, officials, volunteers and youth of the
Cambodian Red Cross for all the sacrifices and great effort in a strong
sense of responsibility to implement the Cambodian Red Cross Strategy
2011 – 2020, based on an even stronger foundation, assessment of
strengths and weaknesses, and regular experience exchange to achieve
subsequent success. At the same time, I also wish to value all donors
highly for providing firm support and close cooperation by exerting
mental and physical strength to contribute to the humanitarian
activities of the Cambodian Red Cross in the interest of the nation and
the people.
I
also would like to congratulate Samdech Kittiprittbundit on her
reelection as the president of the Cambodian Red Cross continue to
manage and lead the sixth term of office of the Cambodian Red Cross.
Taking this opportunity, I wish to lend my full support to the elected
members of the central committee for this term of office as well as
chief financial officer, secretary general and deputy secretary general
who have just been appointed. I strongly believe that members of the
central committee, chief financial officer, secretary general, deputy
secretary general, all staff and volunteers of the Cambodian Red Cross
will step up effort even further in the cause of building capacities in
the humanitarian sector to respond to disasters and lessen the hardship
of the people throughout the nation. At the same time, the Royal
Government of Cambodia will continue to support in terms of policy
framework, regulations and other supporting mechanisms as well as
material and financial contribution and encourage the Cambodian Red
Cross to implement its Strategy for 2011 – 2020 to achieve further
success in the sixth term of office. I also wish to appeal to all
members of the central committee, all levels of the management, staff,
volunteers and youths of the Cambodian Red Cross to further strengthen
and extend your responsibilities, especially the development of
organization and resource, to ensure the stability of the organization’s
operation and financial resource for the cause of continued rescue of
life and people from hardship, vulnerability and poverty in an effective
and efficient manner to move toward a prosperous community in the
interest of the nation and the people.
In
this spirit, I strongly hope and believe that all levels of the
management of the Cambodian Red Cross will be committed to leading and
managing the organization with a great sense of responsibility, good
governance and solidarity, unity, cooperation and mutual assistance to
contribute to mission to rescue human lives, response to challenges, and
promotion of the values and dignity of humanity living up to its name
as the leading humanitarian organization in the country.
Taking
this auspicious opportunity, on behalf of the Royal Government of
Cambodia and myself, I would like to express my most profound gratitude
to the most revered Preah Karuna Preah Bat Samdech Preah Baromneath
Norodom Sihamoni, King of Cambodia, for His Majesty’s participation in
the opening of the General Assembly of the Sixth-Term Cambodian Red
Cross in yesterday’s afternoon of August 06, 2014. This noble gesture
demonstrates His Majesty’s highest attention to and full support for the
humanitarian mission of the Cambodian Red Cross and His Majesty’s four
virtues of Brahma (Prum Vihear Thor) are closely linked to the
well-being of the people – children, grand children and great grand
children – especially the vulnerable throughout the country. These have
indeed helped promote and enhance the name and reputation of the
Cambodian Red Cross in both the national and international arena.
Achievements
and progress of the Cambodian Red Cross of the previous term
highlighted in the stocktaking report by Samdech Kittipritbundit,
president of the Cambodian Red Cross, reflect the leadership, unwavering
commitment, good governance, strong sense of responsibility,
transparency and accountability of all branch and sub-branch offices all
over the 25 capital/provinces, particularly the mobilization of
Cambodian Red Cross youth volunteers, who are our indispensable
resources and worthy successors for the future, to take part in the
implementation of the organization’s strategies, i.e. the four core
priorities. In this sense, we can reaffirm that the Cambodian Red Cross
has worked hard and overcome all challenges with high commitment, bold
spirit and courage in the cause of timely rescue of victims at all
places and under all circumstances regardless of nationality, race,
religion or political tendency in accordance with the motto “Where There
Is Suffering, There Is the Red Cross.”
Overall,
the Cambodian Red Cross Strategy 2011-2020 is in line with the
long-term vision of the Royal Government of Cambodia which adheres to
the principle of mobilizing forces throughout the country to jointly
build and protect the Cambodian motherland in pursuit of prosperity,
equitable distribution of growth, poverty reduction, and harmonic and
happy life of the people.
In
fact, the success of the humanitarian mission of the Cambodian Red
Cross in the fifth term of office cannot be separated from contribution
from relevant ministries-institutions and all stakeholders under the
forms of cooperation, experience exchange and dialogue in a constructive
way for promoting the activities of the Cambodian Red Cross as well as
recommendations for implementing the activities outlined in the
strategy. This General Assembly clearly demonstrates contribution from
relevant ministries-institutions, and as a result, the amendment of the
organization’s statute, rules of procedures and financial regulations,
which are the basic rules and regulations, have been reviewed and
unanimously adopted. This shows our flexibility to accommodate the
changing environment and in-depth reform programs of the Royal
Government of the fifth legislature of the National Assembly. In this
spirit, we hope these amendments will further contribute to enhancing
the capacity and transparency of this organization so it can
successfully and effectively carry out its mission in accordance with
humanitarian values of the Cambodian Red Cross.
Meanwhile,
the work plan for the sixth term approved by the general assembly
attests to institutional thinking and inspires members at the central
level as well as in branch and sub-branch offices to further consider
priority issues within their respective territories and enhance
capacities and work efficiency to address various challenges,
particularly further strengthen and expand institutional development and
resource capacity as the real core of the institution. The launch of
the Strategy for 2011-2020 as well as work and resource frameworks help
strengthen and expand the Cambodian Red Cross to carry out its
humanitarian mission successfully and garner trust from all stakeholders
and the public.
In
sum, the Strategy for 2011-2020 shows the high attention of the
Cambodian Red Cross at the central level and branch/sub-branch level on
its preparedness and prevention of disasters in each locality by setting
up information channel, disaster monitoring and data management and
post-disaster restoration with ownership. Furthermore, the Cambodian Red
Cross will further implement its program to promote traffic safety in
Cambodia, a country with high risk of traffic accidents which have
resulted in the loss of lives and properties, disability, orphans,
widows and vagrants; all these pose a heavy burden on their families and
the whole society.
At
the same time, the Cambodian Red Cross has paid attention to the
elimination of some drawbacks such as domestic violence and human
trafficking, the promotion of the rights of children viz. orphans,
children with disabilities and children from poor families, through the
provision of education and vocational training, rehabilitation service,
prevention of child exploitation etc. as well as expanded education and
vocational training for youth and volunteers, and promotion of social
morality and women’s values to strengthen and expand the youth force as
the core of rescue mission and promote their dignity. In this spirit, I
would like to encourage the Cambodian Red Cross to step up its youth
program, including the expansion of health and hygiene education in
communities, and timely participate in rescue missions at all places,
under all circumstances.
Taking
this opportunity, I would like to appeal to all
ministries-institutions, cooperation partners, private sector, and local
authorities to maintain and strengthen solidarity, unity and good
cooperation to support daily operation of the Cambodian Red Cross to
contribute to the successful implementation of the Strategy for
2011-2020, especially to increase the opportunity for branch and
sub-branch offices to exchange experience and come up with good
recommendations for constructing and developing each locality with
ownership.
The
achievement and success of the fifth-term Cambodia Red Cross cannot be
separated from the royal humanitarian activities of and contribution
from Preah Karuna Preah Bat Samdech Preah Baromneath Norodom Sihamoni,
King of Cambodia, and Her Majesty Queen Mother of Cambodia, Honorary
President of Cambodia Red Cross, especially His Majesty, The Great
Heroic King, King Father of Cambodia, Preah Borom Ratanakkaud, who have
paid high attention to the welfare of the people – their children, grand
children and great grandchildren by regularly donating their personal
wealth to the Cambodian Red Cross in order to assist disaster victims
throughout the country. I would like to take this solemn opportunity to
wish Preah Karuna Preah Bat Samdech Preah Baromneath Norodom Sihamoni,
King of Cambodia and Her Majesty Queen Mother of Cambodia, Honorary
Chairwoman of Cambodian Red Cross good health and longevity of more than
hundred years old to remain as the symbol of humanitarian force and the
great shade for all Cambodian people and I would like to pray to the
soul of the most revered Preah Bat Samdech Preah Norodom Sihanouk, the
Great Heroic King, King Father of Cambodia, Preah Borom Ratanakkaud to
wish all the Cambodian people peace and prosperity.
In
addition, I would like to express my deep thanks to Excellencies,
Oknha, ladies and gentlemen, both national and international donors, for
your charitable gesture and for providing mental, material and
financial support to the Cambodian Red Cross in the cause of assisting
victims and the vulnerable in the humanitarian framework.
In
fact, this charitable support represents not only the great force of
solidarity and culture of sharing that have been carved in the heart of
each Khmer long time ago, but also a great contribution to lessening
people’s hardship and material shortage, especially life rescue during
natural and other disasters in order to maintain the dignity and enhance
the livelihoods of the people.
At
the same time, I would like to appeal to all relevant
ministries-institutions as well as local authorities and all types of
armed forces to step up their attention on providing cooperation and
support as well as trust building in order to ensure the improved
efficiency and success of the humanitarian mission of the Cambodian Red
Cross in this mandate. In short, in spite of the progress of the
Cambodian Red Cross, we still need support from all stakeholders since
most of the current issues such as climate change, road accidents, UXO
accidents etc. require joint effort from all stakeholders. Meanwhile, we
must also pay attention to studying in advance the vulnerability, areas
and people vulnerable to disasters in each locality and set up a
clear-cut prevention database to facilitate monitoring and prevention as
well as response measures in case of natural disasters.
Before
ending, I would like to express my support for the continued
cooperation and partnership between the International Committee of Red
Cross and the Cambodian Red Cross for the next 30 years while both
parties have worked together and achieved great success during the last
30 years.
Finally,
along with the declaration of the closing of the General Assembly of
the Cambodia Red Cross of the Sixth Mandate, I would like to wish

ភ្នំពេញ ថ្ងៃទី៧ ខែសីហា ឆ្នាំ២០១៤
យើងសូមស្វាគមន៍ចំពោះការចេញសាលក្រមរបស់អង្គជំនុំជម្រះសាលាដំបូង
នៃអង្គជំនុំជម្រះវិសាមញ្ញក្នុងតុលាការ កម្ពុជា (អ.វ.ត.ក)
ក្នុងសំណុំរឿង០០២/០១ នៅថ្ងៃទី៧ ខែសីហា ឆ្នាំ២០១៤ នេះ។
ការប្រកាសសាលក្រមនៅថ្ងៃនេះគឺជាព្រឹត្តិការណ៍ប្រវត្តិសាស្ត្រដែលជាស្នាដៃរបស់
អ.វ.ត.ក
ហើយក៏ជាឱកាសប្រកបដោយអត្ថន័យជាប្រវត្តិសាស្ត្រសម្រាប់
យុត្តិធម៌ព្រហ្មទណ្ឌអន្តរជាតិ។
មិនតែប៉ុណ្ណោះវាក៏ជាថ្ងៃដ៏មានសារៈសំខាន់សម្រាប់ប្រជាជនកម្ពុជាផងដែរ។
ចាប់តាំងពីខ្មែរក្រហមត្រូវបានផ្តួលរំលំនៅថ្ងៃទី៧ ខែមករា ឆ្នាំ១៩៧៩
ពោលគឺរយៈពេលជាង៣៥ឆ្នាំប៉ុណ្ណោះ
ដែលប្រជាជនកម្ពុជាបានខំតស៊ូពុះពារកសាងសង្គមរបស់ខ្លួនសាជាថ្មី។
អ.វ.ត.ក
គឺជាតុលាការជាតិដែលបង្កើតឡើងដោយមានការចូលរួមនិងជំនួយពីអន្តរជាតិ។
កិច្ចការរបស់សាលាក្តី
បង្ហាញអំពីការប្តេជ្ញាចិត្តពីសំណាក់អង្គការសហប្រជាជាតិ
រាជរដ្ឋាភិបាលកម្ពុជា និងសហគមន៍អន្តរជាតិក្នុងការផ្តល់
យុត្តិធម៌ជូនជនរងគ្រោះនៃឧក្រិដ្ឋកម្មដ៏គួរឲ្យរន្ធត់
ដែលប្រព្រឹត្តឡើងនៅអំឡុងសម័យខ្មែរក្រហម។
រាជរដ្ឋាភិបាលកម្ពុជា
និងអគ្គលេខាធិការ អ.ស.ប
បានសង្កត់ធ្ងន់ជារឿយៗថាមិនត្រូវមាននិទណ្ឌភាពចំពោះឧក្រិដ្ឋកម្មអន្តរជាតិ
ធ្ងន់ធ្ងរបំផុតជាដាច់ខាត។ ដំណើរការតុលាការដោយឯករាជ្យ
ត្រូវតែបានអនុញ្ញាតដើម្បីធានាឲ្យប្រាកដថាជនទាំងឡាយណា
ដែលបានប្រព្រឹត្តឧក្រិដ្ឋកម្មធ្ងន់ធ្ងរត្រូវផ្តន្ទាទោសតាមច្បាប់។
អ.វ.ត.ក
បានបង្ហាញថា ខ្លួនមានសមត្ថភាពជំនុំជម្រះក្តីដែលមានលក្ខណៈស្មុគស្មាញ
ដោយអនុលោមទៅតាមនីតិវិធីត្រឹមត្រូវ និងបទដ្ឋានអន្តរជាតិ។ នៅខែកុម្ភៈ
ឆ្នាំ២០១២ កន្លងទៅនេះ មានការប្រកាសសាលក្រមក្នុងសំណុំរឿង០១
ដោយផ្តន្ទាទោសប្រធានមន្ទីរស២១ ដ៏អសោចពីបទឧក្រិដ្ឋកម្មប្រឆាំងមនុស្សជាតិ
និង ឧក្រិដ្ឋកម្មសង្គ្រាម ។
សាលក្រមថ្ងៃនេះគឺជាលទ្ធផលកើតចេញពីដំណើរការនីតិវិធីតុលាការ
ដែលគួរឲ្យកត់សម្គាល់យ៉ាងពិតប្រាកដ។ សាក្សីប្រហែល១០០នាក់
បានផ្តល់ភស្តុតាងផ្ទាល់នៅសាលសវនាការក្នុងសំណុំរឿង០០២/០១។ អ.វ.ត.ក
បានផ្តល់នូវការចូលរួមពីសំណាក់ជនរងគ្រោះ
ដោយមានដើមបណ្តឹងរដ្ឋប្បវេណីចំនួនជិត៤០០០ នាក់
ពេញរយៈពេលនៃសវនាការទាំងមូល ដែលការណ៍នេះពីមុនមកមិនធ្លាប់មានទាល់ តែសោះ។
ជនរងគ្រោះទាំងនោះបានរៀបរាប់ពីការឈឺចាប់ ទុក្ខវេទនារបស់ពួកគេ
ព្រមទាំងបានប្តឹងទាមទារសំណងទៀតផង។ ប្រជាជនជាង១០០.០០០នាក់
បានមកសាលាក្តីដើម្បីតាមដានសវនាការដោយផ្ទាល់ភ្នែក
ខណៈដែលប្រជាជនរាប់លាននាក់ផ្សេងទៀតបានតាមដានសវនាការតាម
រយៈការផ្សាយផ្ទាល់ពីស្ថានីយទូរទស្សន៍ វិទ្យុ និងប្រព័ន្ធអ៊ិនធឺណិត។
ដំណើរការនេះនឹងក្លាយជាកំណត់ហេតុប្រវត្តិសាស្ត្រដ៏មានតម្លៃសម្រាប់
ប្រជាជនកម្ពុជានិងពិភពលោកទាំងមូល
យើងសូមឆ្លៀតឱកាសនេះសម្តែងនូវការកោតសរសើរដ៏ជ្រាលជ្រៅចំពោះអ្នកទាំងឡាយ
ដែលបានចូលរួមនៅក្នុង ដំណើរការនេះរួមមានចៅក្រម ព្រះរាជអាជ្ញា មេធាវី
មន្ត្រីតុលាការ និង បុគ្គលិកជាតិ និង អន្តរជាតិ។ ជាងនេះទៀត
ការចេញសាលក្រមថ្ងៃនេះគឺជាសក្ខីភាពបញ្ជាក់អំពីការប្តេជ្ញាចិត្ត
សម្រាប់រយៈពេលវែង ជាលក្ខណៈជាតិនិងអន្តរជាតិ ក្នុងការផ្តល់ឲ្យ អ.វ.ត.ក
នូវធនធានចាំបាច់នានា
ដើម្បីធ្វើឲ្យប្រាកដថាយុត្តិធម៌ត្រូវបាន
ផ្តល់ជូនប្រជាជនកម្ពុជាយ៉ាងពិតប្រាកដ ។
យើងរំពឹងថា
អ.វ.ត.ក នឹងបន្តកិច្ចការដ៏សំខាន់របស់ខ្លួនទៅមុខទៀត។
យើងសូមអំពាវនាវដល់អ្នកទាំងឡាយដែលមានការពាក់ព័ន្ធក្នុងដំណើរការសាលា
ក្តីនេះ សូមឲ្យបន្តការគាំទ្រនិងលើកកម្ពស់នីតិវិធីតុលាការឯករាជ្យតទៅទៀតនេះ។

Déclaration commune de Son Excellence Dr Sok An, Premier-Ministre adjoint et M. Stephen Mathias, Sous-Secrétaire général aux affaires juridiques de l’Organisation des Nations Unies
Phnom Penh, le 7 août 2014
En ce jour du 7 août 2014, nous saluons le prononcé du jugement par la
Chambre de première instance des Chambres extraordinaires au sein des
tribunaux cambodgiens (CETC) au terme du premier procès dans le cadre du
dossier n° 002.
Le verdict prononcé aujourd’hui pose un jalon important dans les travaux
des CETC et marque un moment historique pour la justice pénale
internationale. C’est également une journée à marquer d’une pierre
blanche pour le peuple du Cambodge. Depuis le renversement du régime
khmer rouge le 7 janvier 1979, il y a à peine plus de 35 ans, les
Cambodgiens s’efforcent de reconstruire leur société.
Les travaux des CETC, un tribunal national créé avec le concours et la
participation de la communauté internationale, témoignent de la ferme
volonté de l’Organisation des Nations Unies, du Gouvernement royal
cambodgien et de la communauté internationale que justice soit rendue
aux victimes des crimes bouleversants commis par les Khmers rouges.
Le Gouvernement royal cambodgien et le Secrétaire général des Nations
Unies ont maintes fois souligné la nécessité de mettre un terme à
l’impunité pour les crimes internationaux les plus graves. Le processus
judiciaire indépendant doit pouvoir suivre son cours pour s’assurer que
ceux qui commettent des crimes graves répondent de leurs actes.
Les CETC ont montré qu’elles avaient la capacité de mener des procès
complexes dans le respect des formes légales et des normes
internationales. En février 2012, le procès dans le dossier n° 001 a été
conclu avec la condamnation du directeur de la tristement célèbre
prison S‑21 pour crimes contre l’humanité et crimes de guerre.
Le verdict prononcé aujourd’hui est l’aboutissement d’un processus
judiciaire véritablement remarquable. Près d’une centaine de personnes
sont venues témoigner pendant le premier procès dans le cadre du dossier
n° 002. Près de 4 000 parties civiles ont été autorisées à participer à
la procédure en qualité de victimes, un fait sans précédent. Elles ont
pu décrire leurs souffrances et demander réparation. Plus de 100 000
personnes se sont rendues au tribunal pour assister au procès, tandis
que des millions d’autres ont pu suivre les débats grâce à leur
retransmission en direct à la télévision, à la radio et sur Internet.
Assurément, ce processus a permis de bâtir une mémoire publique
précieuse pour le peuple du Cambodge et le reste du monde.
Nous tenons à adresser nos sincères remerciements à tous ceux qui ont
participé à ce processus, aux juges et procureurs, aux avocats, aux
responsables et au personnel du tribunal, tant cambodgiens
qu’internationaux. Le verdict prononcé aujourd’hui atteste de
l’engagement à long terme, tant à l’échelle internationale que
nationale, à fournir aux CETC les moyens nécessaires pour que justice
soit rendue au peuple du Cambodge.
Nous comptons sur les CETC pour qu’elles poursuivent leurs importants
travaux. Nous appelons toutes les parties prenantes à continuer à
soutenir et à défendre l’indépendance du processus judiciaire.
Son Excellence Dr Sok An
Premier-Ministre adjoint
Ministre chargé du Bureau du Conseil des Ministres
Président du Groupe de travail du Gouvernement cambodgien chargé des procès des Khmers rouges

Press Release: Nuon Chea and Khieu Samphan Sentenced to Life Imprisonment for Crimes Against Humanity
7 August 2014
Today, the Trial Chamber of the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC) found Nuon Chea and Khieu Samphan guilty of crimes against humanity committed between 17 April 1975 and December 1977 and sentenced them to life imprisonment.
Nuon Chea was the Deputy Secretary of the Communist Party of Kampuchea (CPK) and a member of both the CPK Central and Standing Committees. Nuon Chea, with Pol Pot, exercised the ultimate decision-making power of the Party. Nuon Chea officially exercised the role of Acting Prime Minister of DK on several occasions from September 1976 up until 1977 when Pol Pot resumed his duties. Due to his seniority within the CPK leadership, Nuon Chea enjoyed oversight of all Party activities extending beyond the roles and responsibilities formally entrusted to him during the DK period. Khieu Samphan became a candidate member of the CPK Central Committee in 1971 and a full-rights member in 1976. He was one of two members of Office 870 which oversaw the implementation of the decisions of the CPK Standing Committee. As a member of Office 870 he was responsible for commerce and played an important role in matters of economics and foreign trade in the Democratic Kampuchea (DK). In April 1976, Khieu Samphan was appointed President of the State Presidium. While this was a largely symbolic role with no executive power, he had the confidence and trust of the other members of the Party Centre and he participated in meetings of the Central and Standing Committees.
The Trial Chamber found that, together with members of the Standing and Central Committees, government ministers and Zone secretaries, both Nuon Chea and Khieu Samphan participated in a joint criminal enterprise to achieve the common purpose of implementing a rapid socialist revolution through a ‘great leap forward’ by whatever means necessary. The Chamber found that this common purpose was implemented through, amongst other means, policies to forcibly displace people from cities and towns and between rural areas. As a result, during the first phase of the movement of the population at least two million people were forcibly transferred from Phnom Penh in April 1975 by Khmer Rouge soldiers under false pretexts and threats, often at gunpoint, with almost no prior warning and in terrifying and violent circumstances. At the time of its expulsion, the population of Phnom Penh was severely weakened by the experience of a long siege characterised by food shortages. In this weakened condition, the population was forced to march to rural areas during the hottest time of the year and without adequate food, water, medical care, accommodation or transportation. Without exception, the entire population of Phnom Penh was evacuated, including monks, the old and the young, the sick and injured from the city’s hospitals, pregnant women and those who had recently given birth. There were numerous instances of Khmer Rouge soldiers shooting and killing civilians during the course of the evacuation, while many others died of exhaustion, malnutrition or disease.
During the second phase of the movement of the population, between September 1975 and December 1977, at least 330,000 to 430,000 people were forcibly displaced from various locations throughout Cambodia. Most people were ordered to leave their locations and transferred under armed guard. Those who refused transfer or attempted escape were arrested, detained or transferred in a further round of movements. People were transported by different means, including truck, boat, ox cart and on foot. People were constantly monitored, had no water and insufficient food, and were not allowed to carry any belongings. Those transported by truck were guarded by armed Khmer Rouge soldiers, who shot at those who tried to escape. Due to exhaustion, starvation or illness, some people died.
The Trial Chamber also found that Nuon Chea and Khieu Samphan implemented the common purpose through a policy to target former Khmer Republic officials. As a result of this policy at least 250 Lon Nol officials who had been transported from Pursat to Tuol Po Chrey were executed immediately after 17 April 1975.
Nuon Chea and Khieu Samphan were, through their participation in the joint criminal enterprise, found to have committed the crimes against humanity of murder, political persecution and other inhumane acts (comprising forced transfers and attacks against human dignity) during movement of population (phase one); political persecution and other inhumane acts (comprising forced transfers and attacks against human dignity) during movement of population (phase two); and murder and extermination through executions of Khmer Republic officials at Tuol Po Chrey. Nuon Chea and Khieu Samphan were also found to have planned, instigated and aided and abetted the crimes of extermination (during movement of population (phases one and two)), other inhumane acts (comprising enforced disappearances) (during movement of population (phase two)) and political persecution (at Tuol Po Chrey). Additionally, Nuon Chea was found to have ordered these crimes.
The Chamber found only Nuon Chea to be responsible as a superior for all crimes committed in the course of the movements of population and at Tuol Po Chrey, a factor which was considered in sentencing.
In sentencing, the Trial Chamber considered the gravity of the crimes, including that they were committed across the whole of Cambodia during a more than two-and-a-half-year period against a vast number of victims, which is among the highest of any decided case concerning international crimes. The gravity of the crimes was further illustrated by the conditions of forced transfer, which were severe, unrelenting and inhumane. Further, the crimes had serious and lasting impact upon the victims, their relatives and Cambodia in general. The Trial Chamber found a number of aggravating circumstances had been established (Nuon Chea and Khieu Samphan were well-educated and knew the import and consequences of their actions; the crimes were committed in abuse of their positions of authority and influence; and many victims were vulnerable and defenceless), with limited mitigating circumstances. The Chamber sentenced both Nuon Chea and Khieu Samphan to life imprisonment, noting that they each have the right to appeal the convictions and sentence imposed.
The Trial Chamber found that, as a consequence of the crimes of which Nuon Chea and Khieu Samphan have been convicted, the Civil Parties and a very large number of additional victims have suffered immeasurable harm, including physical suffering, economic loss, loss of dignity, psychological trauma and grief arising from the loss of family members or close relations. The Chamber consequently endorsed the implementation of 11 reparation projects that have been designed to appropriately acknowledge the harm suffered by Civil Parties as a result of the commission of the crimes at issue in this trial and to provide benefits to the Civil Parties that address this harm. The following projects were endorsed: the institution of a National Remembrance Day project; the construction of a memorial in Phnom Penh to honour victims of forced evacuations; a testimonial therapy project; self-help groups; a permanent exhibition; a mobile exhibition and education project; the inclusion of a chapter on forced population movement and executions at Tuol Po Chrey within the Cambodian school curriculum; the construction of a peace learning centre; a booklet on adjudicated facts and civil party participation at the ECCC; two editions of the verdict in Case 002/01; and inclusion of Civil Party names on the ECCC website.
The substantive hearings in this trial commenced on 21 November 2011 and concluded with closing statements on 31 October 2013. During the 222 days of trial, the Trial Chamber heard testimonies from 92 individuals, including 53 fact witnesses, 5 character witnesses, 31 Civil Parties and 3 experts. An unprecedented number of 103,724 people attended the trial.
