The Cambodian Human Rights Committee says it issued 56 documents, including petitions, protests, statements and other letters, to regional and international human rights mechanisms and the United Nations during the Cambodia–Thailand border conflict.
The committee says the documents described and condemned alleged rights violations, including what it called repeated Thai armed aggression, unlawful indiscriminate attacks on civilians and civilian objects, unlawful detention of 18 Cambodian soldiers, barbed wire around border residents’ homes and farmland, and noise used for psychological harassment, threats and other abuses. These are the committee’s allegations.
Committee Vice President Keo Sothy presented the account at the Office of the Council of Ministers’ review of 2025 work and directions for 2026 on March 23, chaired by Permanent Deputy Prime Minister and Minister in Charge of the Office of the Council of Ministers Vongsey Vissoth.
The report says the committee, led by President Keo Remy, also held 29 bilateral meetings and presented its account of serious rights violations attributed to aggression at the 61st session of the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva, Switzerland. The Cambodian delegation called for the actions to stop, safe return of residents and peaceful settlement consistent with international law.
