THE WORLD BANK HAS COMMITTED A FRAUD BECAUSE CAMBODIA REMAINS OCCUPIED BY VIETNAM IN VIOLATION OF 10 UN RESOLUTIONS.
THE FACTS : CAMBODIA REMAINS OCCUPIED BY VIETNAM IN VIOLATION OF 10 UN RESOLUTIONS. UN Passes Strong Resolution on Cambodia Human Rights Abuses Feb. 27, 1982 : UN Commission on Human Rights meeting in Geneva adopted a resolution condemning Vietnam’s occupation of Cambodia as a violation of Cambodian human rights. The vote was 28 in favor, 8 against, and 5 abstentions. Oct. 21, 1986 The UN General Assembly adopted a resolution A/RES/41/6, by vote of 116-21 with 13 abstentions, calling for a withdrawal of Vietnamese forces from Cambodia. IT'S IMPERATIVE FOR VIETNAM TO COMPLY WITH THIS UN RESOLUTION Bury ====================================================== > From: [email protected] > To: [email protected] > Subject: Cambodia's poorest to be supported through a new food security and > Date: Tue, 4 Aug 2009 03:33:16 -0400 > > WORLD BANK CAMBODIA OFFICE > > AUSTRALIAN EMBASSY PHNOM PENH > > Contacts: World Bank, Phnom Penh: Bou Saroeun (855) 12-217-301; > [email protected] > Australian Embassy, Phnom Penh: Lachlan Pontifex (855) 12-900-911; > [email protected] > > Cambodia’s poorest to be supported through a new food security and social > safety net program > > Phnom Penh, August 4, 2009 – Today the Ministry of Economy and Finance and the > World Bank signed a US$ 13 million agreement to support Cambodia’s poorest and > most vulnerable people by strengthening food security and social safety nets. > > The World Bank has approved the Smallholder Agriculture and Social Protection > Development Policy Operation to support the efforts of the Government of > Cambodia to mitigate the combined impacts of the global food price and > economic > crises.
