The Cambodian government has accused the United Nations of interference in the country and threatens to declare the UN envoy persona non grata.
As Cambodian parliament debated an anti-corruption law that was criticized by the opposition and rights groups earlier this month, UN agencies urged "a transparent and participatory" process.
The move angered the government in Phnom Penh.
Foreign Minister Hor Namhong, in a letter to UN resident coordinator, warned him against "a flagrant and unacceptable interference in the internal affairs of Cambodia".
