Phnom Penh: Senior Minister Keo Remy, Chairman of the Cambodian Human Rights Commission, told the country representative of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights in Cambodia about the military’s continued violations of Cambodia’s human rights to date, despite the ceasefire.
In a meeting with Ms. Matilda Bogner, Country Representative of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights in Cambodia, on July 7, 2026, Mr. Keo Remy raised various activities of the Thai side and the actual situation in the Cambodian-Thailand border area that seriously violated international law, especially human rights law and international humanitarian law, such as: discrimination against Cambodian migrant workers working and living in Thailand, including threats and the use of violence in various forms, the brutal rape of a Cambodian migrant worker by the Thai military, and indiscriminate attacks deep into Cambodian sovereign territory.
He said that the Thai side in particular has currently tried to create a new reality on the ground through the destruction of people’s homes and the construction of new infrastructure in the occupied and illegally occupied areas and the theft of Cambodian citizens’ property by the Thai army.
Senior Minister Keo Remy added that despite the ceasefire agreement on December 27, 2025, to date, more than 20,000 refugees have not been able to return to their homes due to the illegal occupation of Cambodian territory by the Thai military, the deployment of barbed wire and shipping containers, as well as the destruction of Cambodian homes.
