តាមដំណើរនយោបាយដែលដឹកនាំដោយ បក្សកុម្មុយនីស CPP ជិត ៤០ ឆ្នាំមកហើយនេះ 
គ្មាននរណាមានជំនឿដែលអាចសង្ឃឹមទុក ដូចលោក សម រង្សី ដែលសង្ឃឹមទុក ដោយបង្កើត 
“វប្បធម៌សន្ទនា” ស្អីគេនឹង នោះទេ ។ លោក សម រង្សី គួរតែដឹងរឿងនេះ ជាងអ្នកណា ទាំងអស់ 
ដែលបានរស់រាន្តក្នុងជីវឹតនយោបាយដ៍ឃោរឃៅនេះ ។ ដូច្នេះ អ្វីដែលលោកនៅខំខ្វិតតោងក្រែង 
“អច្ឆិរិយៈនយោបាយវប្បធម៌សន្ទនា” នេះ មកផ្តល់សំណាងដល់លោកនោះ នេះគ្រាន់តែ 
ជាការខាតពេល និងពន្យាពេល នៃសេចក្តីស្លាប់ នៅប្រទេសខ្មែរតែប៉ុណ្ណោះ ។ ត្រង់ណេះ 
ត្រូវលោកជ្រាប​អោយ​ច្បាស់ ។

Objet : [SAMRAINSYPARTY-For] TR: Culture of dialogue and criticism in 
Cambodia's democratic transition

 

Paris, 23 July 2015

 

 

CULTURE OF DIALOGUE AND CRITICISM

IN CAMBODIA’S DEMOCRATIC TRANSITION

 

 

I planned my trip to France many weeks ago. I had to wait for the return of 
CNRP Vice-President Kem Sokha on 20 July before I could leave on 21 July. My 
presence in the country is not always indispensable in the face of a well-known 
pattern of repression. Sometimes I can be more effective abroad in defending 
Cambodia's democratic cause. I have colleagues whom I fully trust when it comes 
to dividing and sharing the workload.

 

 

The arrest of the 11 CNRP activists on 21 July 2015 was a brutal act of 
repression which the CNRP top leadership discussed and decided on their 
reaction immediately after the news was known. My colleagues in Phnom Penh can 
elaborate on the response we thought was the most appropriate to give 
immediately after the publication of the news. They have already given 
interviews to a number of newspapers and radio and TV stations in line with 
what we have decided. There will be other appropriate actions and measures we 
will take on several fronts in the coming days.

 

 

When judging the evolution of personal relations between CPP leaders and CNRP 
leaders, observers should make a distinction between appearance and substance. 
There can be a more civilized behavior on our part but this does not prevent us 
from standing firm on our principles and remaining true to ourselves. One can 
see this through the way the 55 CNRP lawmakers recently voted on two 
significant issues represented by the Law on the Settlement of the 2013 State 
Budget and the Law on Associations and Non-Government Organizations (LANGO). On 
both occasions we rejected the CPP-led government’s proposals. We believe that 
culture of dialogue and criticism can go together as long as the dialogue 
partners remain courteous to each other. 

 

 

The culture of dialogue is not to be implemented for its own sake. It is a 
process that serves fundamental purposes with far-reaching implications: ending 
the culture of political violence and revenge; ensuring a peaceful democratic 
transition for Cambodia.   

 

 

The process represented by the culture of dialogue is still new and fragile but 
it will prove vital for the country's democratic future. It reflects a 
long-term vision and must not be derailed by day-to-day events as painful as 
they may be. The process will have ups and downs as we will face temporary 
thunders and storms on our way. But we will strive to make this culture of 
dialogue progress for the sake of our nation. 

 

 

As of today, without the culture of dialogue the repression would have been 
much worse. There would have been no releases of prisoners from jail as in 
April 2015 and there would have been more arrests and violence as before 22 
July 2014, the day that marked the beginning of the culture of dialogue.
