Development Partners Call for Halt to Evictions of Cambodia's Urban Poor

July 16, 2009--- Development Partners are calling upon the Royal Government of
Cambodia to stop forced evictions from disputed areas in Phnom Penh and
elsewhere in the country until a fair and transparent mechanism for resolving
land disputes is put in place and a comprehensive resettlement policy is
developed.
Development Partners recognize that land issues are an ongoing challenge to
development in Cambodia and urge the Government to adopt fair and transparent
systems for land titling, including in urban areas, which recognize and protect
the equal rights of all citizens. Development Partners stand ready to support
the establishment of national policy guidelines which would ensure that
evictions and resettlement follow due legal process and provide just
compensation to affected individuals.
The World Bank and a number of Development Partners have been working closely
with the Government on securing land titling in Cambodia. The Government is
commended for issuing more than one million land titles because this offers the
opportunity for improved growth and poverty reduction.
However, in an environment of escalating urban land values in Cambodia and
speculative land buying and selling, urban dwellers are under threat of being
moved to make way for high value property development. This has become a major
problem in Phnom Penh and other fast growing cities in Cambodia – creating
uncertainty for, and putting at risk the livelihoods of, thousands of poor
people living in disputed urban areas. This is a result of policies and
practices that do not reflect good international practice in dispute resolution
and resettlement and do not make effective use of the procedures and
institutions allowed for in Cambodian law.
International experience has established that secure land tenure is vital in
ensuring economic growth and reducing poverty and that fair, well-implemented
resettlement processes are key to an effective land tenure and titling system
and protecting the rights of all people.
Development Partners reaffirm their commitment to work with the Government to
help address land issues in a just and equitable manner and to ensure that the
rights of poor people are promoted and protected.

PHNOM PENH, September 6, 2009 — Following a decision by the Council of
Ministers on Friday 4 September to terminate World Bank financing of the Land
Management and Administration Project (LMAP), World Bank Country Director for
South-East Asia, Annette Dixon, made the following statement:
“Land security and a fair, transparent approach to resolving land disputes and
resettlement are among the greatest challenges facing Cambodia today. People
without land or secure title to land are much more likely to be poor and stay
poor.
It’s for these reasons that the World Bank has been working intensively with
Government, development partners and other stakeholders since 2002 to put in
place a modern and comprehensive land administration system. This project has
issued more than 1.1 million land titles, mostly to poor people in rural areas.
However, recent land price increases, which have averaged over 30 percent, have
been leading to land disputes, compensation issues, eviction processes and
resettlement issues.
As part of our continuing dialogue with Government on these growing challenges,
the World Bank undertook a review to find out whether LMAP was still achieving
its intended outcomes given the rapidly changing land sector environment.
The review found that LMAP’s successes in land titling in rural areas have not
been matched in urban areas where land disputes are on the rise. This was due
in part to delays or lack of implementation of some project activities. While
originally designed as a multi-pronged approach to addressing a range of land
issues, LMAP focused on areas where it could be most successful: titling rural
land and building the capacity of the land administration to register and title
land and implement policy.
We have shared the findings of the review with the Government but could not
come to agreement on whether LMAP’s social and environmental safeguards should
apply in some of the disputed urban areas. For the World Bank, the
implementation of these safeguard policies is critical. However, we are
encouraged by the Government’s statement of its commitment to continuing
reforms in the land sector and working towards an improved policy and legal
framework for resettlement that reflects their commitment to international
treaties.
We remain committed to working with Government and other development partners
through the Technical Working Group on Land to support Cambodia’s efforts to
secure land tenure, reduce poverty, and improve economic opportunity for all of
its people.”
