Thai expert named UN rapporteur
Tue, 9 February 2021
Thai national Vitit Muntarbhorn is set to be the replacement for Briton Rhona Smith when the latter completes her five-year mandate as UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights in Cambodia, according to the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC).
In a letter dated February 8, UNHRC president Nazhat Shameem Khan said that following her thorough consultation with all of the relevant stakeholders, she decided to follow the first recommendation of the consultative group.
The consultative group was formed to recommend candidates to fill six vacancies for various human rights related offices around the world, including Cambodia.
The Cambodian Human Rights Committee (CHRC) regarded the reports from some civil society organisations (CSOs) and international institutions as biased and baseless in their accusations about the restriction of human rights in Cambodia.
