Report of the Fact-Finding Mission to Cambodia: The Deprivation of Land and the Continuous Human Rights Violations

Recently in Cambodia, a lot of people are evicted from the invaluable lands where they have lived for a long time and are losing the place to live in under the name of ”development”. Such cases are increasing year by year that the people are forcefully evicted from the development-planned-land where they were living and cultivating and are deprived of the place for living and livelihood.

The people becoming frustrated with the forced evictions started protest against the eviction all over the country. However, the Government suppressed the protests of the people by forceful means. Illegal arrests and detentions against human rights defenders use of force against villager, and even killings of citizen are reported in Cambodia related to the land dispute.

Human Rights Now (HRN), an international human rights NGO based in Tokyo was concerned about such human rights violations in Cambodia and sent a fact-finding mission there.

In this session, HRN will report how the people were evicted and what happened afterward based on the finding of the fact finding mission. After the report, discussion is followed on the way to peaceful solution, as well as the role of Japanese civil society or other actors in Japan.

Please join us.

HSP/HSF/CDR Spring Symposium 2012 Human Security of IDPs by Disaster: Analysing National Response to Internal Displacement Caused by the Great East Japan Earthquake

One year has passed since the Great East Japan Earthquake, which left a number of internally displaced persons (IDPs) away from home in temporary accommodations. They continue to live in fear of nuclear power plant disasters without knowing how long they have to stay there. We will examine how to save lives and dignity of those individuals suffering from this unprecedented great disaster of their human security.

The symposium is co-organised by NPO Human Security Forum (HSF) and the Center for Documentation of Refugees and Migrants (CDR), which manages the Human Mobility Studies (Corporate Sponsored Program: Hogakukan Co.,Ltd.) in the Graduate Program on Human Security (HSP) at the University of Tokyo.
