Thursday, 17 June 2010
Officials announced a new regulation Thursday aimed at settling evictions, but development groups and the opposition have said it will not justly settle the problems of squatters.
The regulation, signed by Prime Minister Hun Sen May 31, calls on authorities to make lists of squatter communities, to determine relocation sites and to settle relocation reasonably.
The regulation comes as authorities struggle with some squatter communities scheduled to be removed amid development plans, especially in urban areas, and as rights groups say land disputes have increased over the past five months.
