Podcasts about cambodian people's party

In this episode of Beyond Year Zero, I explore the widespread practice of forced marriage under the Khmer Rouge, and ask what impact that has on women and gender rights in today's Cambodia? Drawing on interviews with notable practitioners from civil society, politics, academia, and the arts, this podcast was produced before, during, and after the recent general election, which saw the Cambodian People's Party take every seat in the country's parliament. I attempt to explore what impact the country's dark past and contested present will have on the opportunities and prospects for women in the country, and where we are at in Cambodia in terms of gender eqaulity today.

Recorded by David Oppetit in Phnom Penh Cambodia on July 29, 2018 during the counting of ballot papers in the public square. The word that comes up most often in the recording is the "number 20" corresponding to the number of the CPP on the list, finally left elected more than 80% of the votes. General elections 2018 (Khmer: ការបោះឆ្នោតជ្រើសតាំងតំណាងរាស្ត្រ នីតិកាលទី៦ ឆ្នាំ២០១៨) were held in Cambodia on Sunday, 29 July 2018 to elect members of the sixth National Assembly. Polling precincts opened at 7:00 a.m. and closed at 3:00 p.m. The number of registered voters has decreased for the first time since 1993 and was down 13.39% from the previous general election. Voter turnout was 83.02%. It was a landslide victory for the ruling Cambodian People's Party, who won all 125 seats in the National Assembly. The legitimacy of the 2018 election has been called into question by various commentators and media outlets. There were a record number of invalid ballots, accounting for 8.6% of the total votes cast, more than any votes received by a political party barring the CPP. Various international governments including Australia, Canada, the European Union, and the United States dismissed the election results, and threatened to impose sanctions on Hun Sen's government. China, the Philippines, Laos and Thailand were among the countries to congratulate the CPP on their victory. (Wiki) Photo: / Mak Remissa / EPA /MaxPPP

Rally of CNRP opposants in Phnom Penh for the communal elections. Recorded by David Oppetit in binaural in 2017. The Cambodia National Rescue Party, commonly abbreviated as CNRP, (Khmer: គណបក្សសង្គ្រោះជាតិ, Khmer pronunciation: [kuə̯n paʔ sɑŋkruəh ciət], literally: "Party of Rescuing the Nation") was a major political party in Cambodia. It was founded in 2012 as a merger between the Sam Rainsy Party and Human Rights Party. The party believed in the strengthening of freedom and human rights, institution of free and fair elections, and defending Cambodia's "national integrity". It became the sole challenger to the Cambodian People's Party after the 2013 election. Its official motto was "rescue, serve, protect" (Khmer: សង្គ្រោះ បម្រើ ការពារ) and the logo for the CNRP is the rising sun. Party leader Kem Sokha was arrested in September 2017 after which the party was in danger of being dissolved, allegedly for being part of a foreign plot to overthrow Prime Minister Hun Sen. The case was heard by the Supreme Court which is headed by Chief Justice Dith Munty, a member of the CPP's permanent committee. On 16 November 2017, the Supreme Court of Cambodia ruled to dissolve the CNRP. As a result of the ruling, all CNRP office holders, including 489 commune chiefs and 55 MPs, will lose their positions and their seats allocated to other parties. Additionally, 118 senior party official were banned from politics for five years. About half the party’s former MPs, including its vice president Mu Sochua, had already fled Cambodia before October out of fear of arrest by the ruling party. The forced dissolution of the party prompted condemnation and calls to reverse the decision from the international community. (Wiki)
