A/HRC/21/63 14. On the occasion of the twentieth anniversary of the conclusion of the Paris Peace Agreements, on 23 October 2011, the Special Rapporteur issued a press release in which he noted the progress in peace and economic development in Cambodia over the past 20 years, but referred to continuing problems, in particular with pluralist democracy, the independence of the judiciary and impunity. 1 He also participated in two meetings – in Paris on 23 October 2011 and at the University of California, Berkeley, on 19 November 2011 – at which he shared his views on the evolution of human rights in Cambodia since 1991. II. Follow-up on recommendations made in previous reports 15. During his missions to Cambodia, the Special Rapporteur sought information about the progress made to implement his previous recommendations on the judiciary and the parliament. 16. The Special Rapporteur is pleased to note that the Government has responded positively by accelerating its legislative programme designed to implement, among other things, the key recommendations that he made relating to the judiciary. The Government has indicated that the relevant recommendations are being implemented or in the process of planning for implementation. The Special Rapporteur is encouraged by indications, such as the establishment of an interministerial working group, that the long-delayed organic laws on the judiciary are moving forward. The Government has not, however, yet responded to the Special Rapporteur’s request to commit itself to a time frame or a specific plan of action to implement his key recommendations. 17. With regard to parliamentary reform, the Government has indicated that the Special Rapporteur’s previous recommendations are being actively considered, and many of them will be part of the process of implementing the recommendations of the universal periodic review process of the Human Rights Council. The Government has not, however, yet responded to the Special Rapporteur’s request for a more specific response or to commit itself to a time frame or a plan of action to implement his key recommendations. III. Communications sent to the Government 18. During the reporting period, the Special Rapporteur addressed communications to the Government on specific cases of human rights concern, including an urgent appeal together with the Special Rapporteur on adequate housing as a component of the right to an adequate standard of living, and on the right to non-discrimination in this context. On 23 September 2011, he sent a communication with the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights defenders in relation to the demolition of five houses in Boeung Kak. 19. A joint allegation letter was sent on 20 April 2012 regarding the alleged forced eviction of some 300 families from Borei Keila on 3 January 2012, in which rubber bullets, tear gas and rocks were allegedly used and some members of the community were arbitrarily detained. The joint communication was also sent by the Special Rapporteur on adequate housing as a component of the right to an adequate standard of living, and on the right to non-discrimination in this context, the Special Rapporteur on the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association, the Special Rapporteur on the promotion and protection of the right to freedom of opinion and expression, and the Special Rapporteur on 1 6 Available from www.ohchr.org/en/NewsEvents/Pages/DisplayNews.aspx?NewsID=11524&LangID=E.
