Recommendation Desirable Recommendations Paragraph #3 (Measures to Sustain Emerging Democracy/Human Rights) Cambodia 2008

The government must do more than give public assurances that the murder and intimidation of journalists will be properly investigated. The EU EOM strongly supports the call by the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights in Cambodia for the Cambodian government to conduct a prompt, thorough and credible investigation into the murder of Moneaksekar Khmer journalist Khim Sambo on 11 July 2008, as well as previous attacks. Of the eight similar murders and attempted murders of journalists in Cambodia since 1994, nonehas ever been resolved. This fosters an atmosphere of impunity for the perpetrators of such crimes, as well as a climate of self-censorship among journalists, who feel unable to act in the public interest and expose wrongdoing for fear of the consequences.
