 Plain-English summary Congressional Research Service

Calls upon the Cambodian Government to: (1) implement the Paris Peace Accords; (2) enforce the rule of law and protect human rights; (3) restore a nonviolent and neutral political atmosphere; (4) allow all exiled opposition leaders to return to Cambodia and engage in political activity without fear of political or physical reprisal; and (5) take further measures to create mechanisms to help ensure a credible election.

Calls upon: (1) the European Union to reconsider its decision to provide assistance to the election process until genuinely free and fair elections can be conducted; and (2) the Secretary of State to continue to provide support through appropriate nongovernmental organizations to Cambodian human rights workers and to work with members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations and the Donors Group in urging the Cambodian Government to create the conditions which would guarantee a free and fair election.
