Book excerpt: For over ten years hundreds of thousands of Kampucheans have fled their country, seeking refuge in neighbouring Thailand. The first section of this paper discusses the history of the Kampuchean flight to Thailand and the evolution of Thailand's response to the influx of refugees. It identifies three phases of conflict: 1) 1975-1979: Kampucheans flee the communist regime of Pol Pot; 2) 1979-1980: Kampucheans flee Vietnamese invaders; 3) 1980-1985: Kampucheans continue to move into Thailand to escape the escalating conflict in the border area between Kampuchean resistance armies and the Vietnamese. The second section of the paper describes the current situation of approximately 70,000 official and undocumented Kampuchean refugees living in camps in Thailand. It also describes the current plight of more than 230,000 displaced Kampucheans living in border camps. The author concludes that after ten years of crisis, the Kampucheans still need and must be given international assistance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper, written in conjunction with the Refugee Studies Program at Webster University in Geneva, describes a three week visit to Thailand in March/April 1989 to study the displaced Khmer along the Thai-Cambodian border. The author, a student in the Program, recounts briefings given to the group in Bangkok by a representative of UNHCR, by members of the Supreme Command of the Royal Thai Government, by representatives of the United Nations Border Relief Operations (UNBRO) and by the Committee for the Coordination of Services to the Displaced Persons in Thailand (CCSDPT). The paper then focuses on the camps along the border. Descriptions are given of Site 2, Greenhill, Site 8, and Khao-I-Dang. There is a detailed description of a follow-up seminar which took place at San Remo. The author summarizes the discussions held in workshops relating to organizational, psychological, legal, political and economic problems dealing with the Khmer displaced persons. A review is also given of an International Labor Office (ILO) mission concerning voluntary repatriation. The author presents repatriation as viewed by political factions at different sites and her analysis of the components of a successful repatriation.
Download or read book Seeking Shelter Cambodians in Thailand a Report on Human Rights written by and published by . This book was released on 1987 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report, prepared by the Lawyers Committee for Human Rights, examines the status of human rights in Kampuchea after the Vietnamese invasion of the country, and the threats to the safety of over a quarter of a million of Kampucheans who fled to Thailand. The report contains a detailed description of the causes of this refugee flow, namely the consequences of the Khmer Rouge invasion and of the subsequent Vietnamese invasion. Both invasions resulted in policies falling far short of any human rights standards. The report describes the threat posed to displaced Kampucheans due to the proximity of their camps to the Thai border, aggravated by abuses committed by the Thai security forces themselves. Moreover, those Kampuchean refugees, who number over 24,000, currently enjoying protection under the UNHCR's mandate, are likely to be removed to sites close to the border. Towards this end, the authors of the report recommend that the UNHCR not allow such removal, that it extend its protection mandate to cover all displaced Kampucheans in Thailand, that the stationing of international personnel in border camps could alleviate security rights, and that finally, the US, as an ally of Thailand, could exercise its influence in a more constructive manner in order to promote the protection of displaced Kampucheans.

Download or read book Condemned to Repeat written by Fiona Terry and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2013-05-15 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Humanitarian groups have failed, Fiona Terry believes, to face up to the core paradox of their activity: humanitarian action aims to alleviate suffering, but by inadvertently sustaining conflict it potentially prolongs suffering. In Condemned to Repeat?, Terry examines the side-effects of intervention by aid organizations and points out the need to acknowledge the political consequences of the choice to give aid. The author makes the controversial claim that aid agencies act as though the initial decision to supply aid satisfies any need for ethical discussion and are often blind to the moral quandaries of aid. Terry focuses on four historically relevant cases: Rwandan camps in Zaire, Afghan camps in Pakistan, Salvadoran and Nicaraguan camps in Honduras, and Cambodian camps in Thailand. Terry was the head of the French section of Medecins sans frontieres (Doctors Without Borders) when it withdrew from the Rwandan refugee camps in Zaire because aid intended for refugees actually strengthened those responsible for perpetrating genocide. This book contains documents from the former Rwandan army and government that were found in the refugee camps after they were attacked in late 1996. This material illustrates how combatants manipulate humanitarian action to their benefit. Condemned to Repeat? makes clear that the paradox of aid demands immediate attention by organizations and governments around the world. The author stresses that, if international agencies are to meet the needs of populations in crisis, their organizational behavior must adjust to the wider political and socioeconomic contexts in which aid occurs.
Download or read book International Dispute Settlement written by MaryEllen O'Connell and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 579 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The very purpose of international law is the peaceful settlement of international disputes. Over centuries, states and more recently, organizations have created substantive rules and principles, as well as affiliated procedures, in the pursuit of the peaceful settlement of disputes. This volume of the Library of Essays in International Law focuses on the classic procedures of peaceful settlement: negotiation, good offices, inquiry, conciliation, arbitration, judicial settlement, and agencies for dispute resolution. The introduction provides a unique historic overview, explaining how the procedures first developed and changed over time. Each chapter features a seminal essay that helped create the changes described in the introduction. Being at the center of international law, dispute resolution has always been a core topic of international scholarship, this volume brings together for the first time, the pivotal writing in the field.
Download or read book e Good Coup e Gone Bad written by Pavin Chachavalpongpun and published by Flipside Digital Content Company Inc.. This book was released on 2014-11-11 with total page 473 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What did the 2006 military coup show us? It demonstrated that the crux of the Thai crisis is far more serious and much wider in scope than had previously been thought. The monarchy is surely not a victim in the protracted conflict, but the root cause and continuing factor that has eroded Thai politics. The coup set in motion more prejudicial uses of the lese-majeste law, and in the process, has led to more political prisoners. It has also shredded the military into several segments, turning generals into desperate royalists who continue to live off the monarchy in order to survive. Issues of violence in the Thai south and the Thai-Cambodian dispute became greatly intensified in the age of militarized politics. The coup also produced unique colour-coded politics and created crises of legitimacy. This book is a collection of essays that reflect developments in Thai politics in the post-coup period.
Download or read book Genocide in Cambodia and Rwanda written by Susan E. Cook and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume deals with aspects of genocide in Rwanda and Cambodia that have been largely unexplored to date, including the impact of regional politics and the role played by social institutions in perpetrating genocide. Although the "story" of the Cambodian genocide of 1975-1979 and that of the Rwandan genocide of 1994 have been written about in detail, most have focused on how the genocides took place, what the ideas and motives were that led extremist factions to attempt to kill whole sections of their country's population, and who their victims were. This volume builds on our understanding of genocide in Cambodia and Rwanda by bringing new issues, sources, and approaches into focus. The chapters in this book are grouped so that a single theme is explored in both the Cambodian and Rwandan contexts; their ordering is designed to facilitate comparative analysis. The first three chapters emphasize the importance of political discourse in the genocidal process. Chapters 4 and 5 examine social institutions and explore their role in the genocidal process. Chapters 6 and 7 describe the military trajectories of the genocidal regimes in Cambodia and Rwanda after their overthrow, showing that genocide and genocidal intents as a political program do not cease the moment the massacres subside. The final chapters deal with private and public efforts to memorialize the genocides in the months and years following the killing. Drawing on ten years of genocide studies at Yale, this excellent anthology assembles high-quality new research from a variety of continents, disciplines, and languages. It will be an important addition to ongoing research on genocide.
