A United Nations envoy said discussions on human rights with Cambodia's prime minister made progress Tuesday after years of animosity between the two sides over the thorny issue.
U.N. special rapporteur Surya Subedi said he held wide-ranging discussions on human rights issues with Prime Minister Hun Sen, and talks were amiable.
Yash Ghai, the former U.N. envoy, constantly clashed with Hun Sen's government over human rights. Ghai had reported that many Cambodians lived in constant fear of having their land stolen by real estate developers and had no recourse because of a corrupt judiciary.
Hun Sen once described Ghai as "unfit," saying he was sent to Cambodia to "curse" his government.
