联合国柬埔寨人权特别报告员汤姆·安德鲁斯在访问金边与总理洪玛涅会晤后,指出柬埔寨存在多方面严重人权问题。[1]安德鲁斯列举的关切包括:柬泰冲突导致约2万人流离失所、逾100人因行使言论、集会或结社自由权而被拘押、跨境网络诈骗和贩运人口活动,以及对言论自由的压制。[1]安德鲁斯强调,"没有人应该因行使基本人权而被监禁"。[1]
汤姆·安德鲁斯自2024年4月起担任该职位,此次访问期间获得了自由进入拘留地点、流离失所营地和边境地区的权限。[1]他表示柬埔寨政府已同意就其提出的问题继续推进,但他对被泰国占领的领土纠纷、被拘押者的权利保护以及下一轮选举期间的言论自由状况等问题表示持续关切。[1]
A United Nations special rapporteur on Cambodia has flagged serious human rights violations following a visit to the country and meetings with senior government officials.[1] Tom Andrews, who began his role as UN special rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Cambodia in April 2024, identified multiple concerns including displacement caused by armed conflict, human trafficking linked to cross-border cybercrime, and restrictions on freedom of expression.[1]
The displacement crisis represents a significant humanitarian challenge, with approximately 20,000 people displaced as a result of armed conflict between Cambodia and Thailand last year.[1] Andrews also documented that over 100 individuals have been detained for exercising fundamental freedoms of speech, assembly, and association.[1] During his mission to Phnom Penh, Andrews stated that "no one should be imprisoned for exercising basic human rights."[1]
Andrews indicated that Cambodia has agreed to advance on the issues he raised, though he expressed ongoing concerns regarding Thai-occupied territory, the rights of detainees, and freedom of expression during the upcoming election cycle.[1] He was granted unrestricted access to detention facilities, displacement camps, and border regions during his visit, enabling direct observation of conditions on the ground.[1]
