What that family go through in that film is fucking horrific. It was very naughty of me to post it, but Playboy started it by making me think of it.
Conflict lingers on Paris Accords
The late King Norodom Sihanouk shook hands together with Prime Minister Hun Sen after the Paris Accords. AFP
...
He pointed out that the intrinsic aspects of the agreement have been merged into the 1993 Cambodian Constitution. This included the guarantee of a multi-party democracy headed by a constitutional monarchy, a government established through free and fair elections, and the separation of the legislative, executive and judiciary.
It also ensures Cambodia’s compliance with the UN Charter and the International Covenant on Human Rights, Rights of the Child and Women’s Rights, he said.

Everything But Arms to go away
It sounds like yesterday's meeting didn't go too well.
I dunno, I'm not a career diplomat, but if I was, I'd be negotiating a for balanced withdrawal over a few year period, either targeting certain products first or by a certain % each year.
Or could just bang on about the injustice of it all and sell more land to China, who according to https://www.bbc.com/news/business-45910262 might be facing some problems themselves soon enough.

October '18 - no no no no no no no I was just joking. Please don't.Speaking to garment factory workers on Koh Pich yesterday, the premier said Cambodia would neither beg for developed powers’ table scraps nor acquiesce to their threats.
“Do not be the dog that acts just for only a bone or a piece of meat – it is not valuable. For example, they threatened that, ‘If you do not follow my order, I will cut this and that’. Cut it!” he said, insinuating that the EU was favouring the opposition, which won 44 percent of the vote in 2013, at the expense of the broader populace. “You cut that and you choose either a few people or 15 million people.”...
The premier went on to criticise the power imbalance in receiving aid. “If we want aid, we need to bow and just say ‘yes’. Can a nation do that? I . . . cannot do that because I hate the invasion of the foreigners,” he said.
Despite the assertion, the premier was himself part of a Vietnamese-backed invasion that ousted the Khmer Rouge in 1979.
Just sign the docs and pretend you didn't.
This is a local government, for local people.
We'll have no trouble here!

‘EBA will stay if human rights improve’
‘EBA will stay if human rights improve’
UN Special Rapporteur for Human Rights in Cambodia Rhona Smith on Thursday reiterated that access to the EU’s preferential Everything But Arms trade agreement would not be withdrawn if the situation in the Kingdom improved.
Answering reporters’ questions at a press conference in Phnom Penh, Smith said it was a matter for the Cambodian government to comply with human right standards if the Kingdom wanted to maintain access to EBA.

On Wednesday, he told garment factory workers not to worry about the effect of EBA withdrawal on their jobs as it “is not yet lost.”
