"Mr President, in our memories Kampuchea will always remain the country of the ‘Killing Fields’. The period of terror still casts a shadow over the country. Even now, with elections in prospect, the democratic process turns out not to be proceeding completely smoothly. On the contrary, restrictions have been imposed on the opposition. There is increasing violence. Voter registration has been halted, so that 30% of the electorate cannot even take part in the elections.
There is the lack of legal guarantees in the special tribunal, and so on. Nevertheless, it remains a challenge for the European Union, or the democratic world, to do our utmost to keep watch and to help guide the country towards democracy. It would surely be positive if at least one guarantee could be given. Something concrete, namely that voter registration will be reopened, so that the hope of a democratic result is not completely dashed in advance."@en1
