Solve Cambodia's Land Crisis in Courts, Not with Bullets
by Sara Colm, September 12, 2009
Phnom Penh-When police opened fire on unarmed farmers protesting confiscation of their land in Almost six months later, Men's uncle is still pressing officials to explain why not a single charge has been filed against the police who fired on the farmers, or those who ordered them to shoot.
"Soldiers and police should use their guns to protect people, not shoot them," Men's uncle - a Buddhist monk named Venerable Luon Savath - told me recently. Photographs and video footage that Venerable Savath and others compiled on the incident appear to show dazed and stunned farmers - some with gashes and gaping wounds - tied to poles after the shooting, which took place in the presence of provincial officials.
According to eyewitnesses, the police said immediately after the shooting it was legal to shoot the farmers as long as they aimed below the waist.
Instead of investigating the police who shot the protesters, authorities arrested and jailed eleven of the farmers, who now await trial on robbery charges. This week the provincial court summoned for questioning three of the farmers who were shot - including one still in hospital, who had to be transported from there to court.
The wounded men now face possible defamation charges, for daring to file a complaint about the incident with the Ministry of Justice. Such is the nature of "justice" in Cambodia.
Lawsuits against government critics are the latest in a series of well-worn - and abused - "legal" tactics used by officials and powerful people in Cambodia to silence dissent. Violence is the other tool.
While the crackdown in Siem Reap was one of the most violent confrontations in a land dispute in Cambodia so far this year, it is no isolated incident.
Cambodians across the country are increasingly losing their homes, land, and natural resources on which their livelihoods depend to make way for commercial development, agri-business plantations, hydro-electricity dams, and mining concessions. InPhnom Penh alone, at least 30,000 urban poor have been forced from their homes in recent years. More than 150,000 people nationwide are at risk of losing their land and their homes.
When communities seek information about land confiscations and peaceful resolution of land disputes, they are increasingly met with harassment, intimidation, arrest, and violent evictions.
Government officials often deploy heavily armed police and soldiers to force people off their land without court orders or any form of fair hearing for the own¬ers or occupiers of the land.
Authorities have arrested or jailed dozens of activists, often on spurious charges, for defending their land rights.
Most of the Siem Reap farmers driven from their land in March had farmed those fields since the late1980s. Under Cambodian law, this entitles them to the right to continue farming and eventually obtain title to the land.
Most farmers in Cambodia, however, have yet to obtain formal titles, which often require bribes or political connections. The people now claiming legal "ownership" are well-connected businessmen with the means to call on virtually every state mechanism for support: courts, district and provincial officials, and finally, police and soldiers.
Despite the government issuing more than one million land titles since 2002 in a World Bank-supported project, the vast majority of Cambodia's urban and rural poor have been excluded. AWorld Bank review of the US$24 million program, released this week, called on the government to remedy the fact that "some land areas have been excluded from titling without clear criteria or explanation provided to the local communities."
The urgency of Cambodia's land crisis prompted a rare public appeal recently from development partners. In July, the World Bank, the UN, the Asian Development Bank, the European Commission, the SwedishInternational Development Agency, and several embassies called on the government to stop forced evictions until fair and transparent land dispute and resettlement mechanisms are in place.
The Cambodian government has not only ignored such appeals, but rebuffed them. On Monday, the Cambodian government announced the termination of the World Bank's land-titling project. The reason, according to Prime Minister Hun Sen, was that the partnership with the World Bank was "difficult and complicated" and "had too many conditions".
The government appears to have become as impervious to the humanitarian appeals of its international donors as it is to the plight of its poorest citizens. But there is growing awareness among the poor of their rights under local and international law.
On Thursday [Sept 10], farmers representing tens of thousands of people nationwide gathered in Phnom Penh, seeking responses to land rights complaints they submitted a month ago. Many of these brave people will now face threats to their personal security, as well as spurious legal battles that could land them in prison.
Rather than filing lawsuits against or opening fire on land rights activists, the government should resolve these complaints.
Land disputes should be settled in an independent court, not by armed police and soldiers. Ownership should be determined byCambodia 's Land Law, rather than wealth and political connections. Until authorities can properly implement and respect Cambodia's Land Law, the government should enact a moratorium on forced evictions.
The government should also ensure the safety of peaceful land rights advocates such as Venerable Sovath, whose calls for justice have been met by threats and intimidation. Soldiers threatened to storm his temple to confiscate the video he compiled of the shooting episode and aftermath.
TheSiem Reap crackdown caused villagers to go into hiding, fearful of being shot or arrested.
"Many farmers fled, leaving their cooking pots behind," Venerable Sovath told me. "All they had was fear, frustration, and empty stomachs. They struggled to hide from local authorities, police, and soldiers, who neither respect nor fear the law or human rights because they have power."
Unarmed farmers being shot, and city dwellers being forced from their homes at gunpoint, are grim reminders of the country's past under the Khmer Rouge regime of the 1970s. This is not what international donors have in mind when they make annual pledges to cover more than half of Cambodia's national budget.

In his home province of Siem Reap, the situation has turned grim." The farmers' paddy fields used to be busy," Venerable Savath said. "The sound was sweet and joyful with farmers singing, laughing and dancing to deal with the hard work. Now the fields are for weeping. They are griefstricken places. This is because the rich have collaborated with the powerful to take the land."
Sara Colm, senior researcher forHuman Rights Watch , has been working in Cambodia since 1992.
Instead of investigating the police who shot the protesters, authorities arrested and jailed eleven of the farmers, who now await trial on robbery charges. This week the provincial court summoned for questioning three of the farmers who were shot - including one still in hospital, who had to be transported from there to court.
The wounded men now face possible defamation charges, for daring to file a complaint about the incident with the Ministry of Justice. Such is the nature of "justice" in Cambodia.
Lawsuits against government critics are the latest in a series of well-worn - and abused - "legal" tactics used by officials and powerful people in Cambodia to silence dissent. Violence is the other tool.
While the crackdown in Siem Reap was one of the most violent confrontations in a land dispute in Cambodia so far this year, it is no isolated incident.
Cambodians across the country are increasingly losing their homes, land, and natural resources on which their livelihoods depend to make way for commercial development, agri-business plantations, hydro-electricity dams, and mining concessions. In
When communities seek information about land confiscations and peaceful resolution of land disputes, they are increasingly met with harassment, intimidation, arrest, and violent evictions.
Government officials often deploy heavily armed police and soldiers to force people off their land without court orders or any form of fair hearing for the own¬ers or occupiers of the land.
Authorities have arrested or jailed dozens of activists, often on spurious charges, for defending their land rights.
Most of the Siem Reap farmers driven from their land in March had farmed those fields since the late1980s. Under Cambodian law, this entitles them to the right to continue farming and eventually obtain title to the land.
Most farmers in Cambodia, however, have yet to obtain formal titles, which often require bribes or political connections. The people now claiming legal "ownership" are well-connected businessmen with the means to call on virtually every state mechanism for support: courts, district and provincial officials, and finally, police and soldiers.
Despite the government issuing more than one million land titles since 2002 in a World Bank-supported project, the vast majority of Cambodia's urban and rural poor have been excluded. A
The urgency of Cambodia's land crisis prompted a rare public appeal recently from development partners. In July, the World Bank, the UN, the Asian Development Bank, the European Commission, the Swedish
The Cambodian government has not only ignored such appeals, but rebuffed them. On Monday, the Cambodian government announced the termination of the World Bank's land-titling project. The reason, according to Prime Minister Hun Sen, was that the partnership with the World Bank was "difficult and complicated" and "had too many conditions".
The government appears to have become as impervious to the humanitarian appeals of its international donors as it is to the plight of its poorest citizens. But there is growing awareness among the poor of their rights under local and international law.
On Thursday [Sept 10], farmers representing tens of thousands of people nationwide gathered in Phnom Penh, seeking responses to land rights complaints they submitted a month ago. Many of these brave people will now face threats to their personal security, as well as spurious legal battles that could land them in prison.
Rather than filing lawsuits against or opening fire on land rights activists, the government should resolve these complaints.
Land disputes should be settled in an independent court, not by armed police and soldiers. Ownership should be determined by

STATEMENT FROM THE WORLD BANK ON TERMINATION BY ROYAL GOVERNMENT OF CAMBODIA OF THE LAND MANAGEMENT AND ADMINISTRATION PROJECT

PHNOM PENH, September 6, 2009 — Following a decision by the Council of Ministers on Friday 4 September to terminate World Bank financing of the Land Management and Administration Project (LMAP), World Bank Country Director for South-East Asia, Annette Dixon, made the following statement:
“Land security and a fair, transparent approach to resolving land disputes and resettlement are among the greatest challenges facing Cambodia today. People without land or secure title to land are much more likely to be poor and stay poor.
It’s for these reasons that the World Bank has been working intensively with Government, development partners and other stakeholders since 2002 to put in place a modern and comprehensive land administration system. This project has issued more than 1.1 million land titles, mostly to poor people in rural areas. However, recent land price increases, which have averaged over 30 percent, have been leading to land disputes, compensation issues, eviction processes and resettlement issues.
As part of our continuing dialogue with Government on these growing challenges, the World Bank undertook a review to find out whether LMAP was still achieving its intended outcomes given the rapidly changing land sector environment.
The review found that LMAP’s successes in land titling in rural areas have not been matched in urban areas where land disputes are on the rise. This was due in part to delays or lack of implementation of some project activities. While originally designed as a multi-pronged approach to addressing a range of land issues, LMAP focused on areas where it could be most successful: titling rural land and building the capacity of the land administration to register and title land and implement policy.
We have shared the findings of the review with the Government but could not come to agreement on whether LMAP’s social and environmental safeguards should apply in some of the disputed urban areas. For the World Bank, the implementation of these safeguard policies is critical. However, we are encouraged by the Government’s statement of its commitment to continuing reforms in the land sector and working towards an improved policy and legal framework for resettlement that reflects their commitment to international treaties.
We remain committed to working with Government and other development partners through the Technical Working Group on Land to support Cambodia’s efforts to secure land tenure, reduce poverty, and improve economic opportunity for all of its people.”

RIGHTS-CAMBODIA: Newest Evacuation ‘Biggest in Decades'
Written by Robert Carmichael
PHNOM PENH, Aug 28 (IPS) - Dozens of families this week started dismantling their homes and moving away from lakeside land in the centre of the capital after giving up on their lengthy struggle to remain. By the end of the eviction process at this site, around 30,000 people will have been moved off now-valuable land.
Human rights workers said it will be the biggest movement of Cambodians from their homes in decades.
Residents do not want to leave, but said they are being driven out by threats from the municipality. Some have not given up yet.
Sixty-seven-year-old Pol Vanna has lived at Village Four at the city centre site, called Boeung Kak, since the early 1980s. The former railwayman is adamantly opposed to moving to the relocation site û a field with no facilities some 30 kilometres away.
”We don't want to leave Boeung Kak,” he told IPS during a small demonstration outside City Hall earlier this month. ”The company should give us some land for us to live on instead of forcing us to move away. I don't understand why they can't give us the land.”
The company in question is Shukaku, which reportedly belongs to Senator Lau Meng Khin from the ruling Cambodian People's Party. His firm received a 99-year lease from the government last year in a typically opaque land deal. Since then, it has been pumping huge amounts of sand into the lake in order to fill it and create more land on which to build.
Evictions are nothing new in Cambodia. At least 100,000 people have been evicted from sites in this capital alone since 2001. The problem is widespread in rural areas, too. The rocketing price of land means there are huge profits to be made, says Naly Pilorge, the director of local human rights group LICADHO, or the Cambodian League for the Promotion and Defense of Human Rights. She said greed and impunity are driving the problem.
The number of people affected nationwide is not clear. Amnesty International said last year that 150,000 were at risk of eviction. LICADHO, which operates in 13 of the country's 24 provinces, says the numbers of land grabs, evictions and threatened evictions reported to its staff have climbed from around 2,600 cases in 2003 to more than 16,000 in 2008.
Pilorge said that equates to more than a quarter of a million Cambodians in just six years. The true number is certainly higher, she added. ”I bet you anything if we had twice as many (staff), we would have twice as many cases.”
Uprooting people and relocating them to distant sites where there is no work and few facilities is hardly conducive to poverty alleviation even if that is a stated key concern of government. Pilorge said many evictees at relocation sites outside the capital have been pushed below the poverty line.
One such group of residents was violently evicted in January from a city centre site called Dey Krahorm, which means ‘Red Earth'. There were two broad categories of people at Dey Krahorm: Those who could show they had a legal right to their land because they had lived there for an extended period, and those who were renting.
The evictees from Dey Krahorm were taken to a site called Damnak Trayeung, located outside Phnom Penh. Those who had an entitlement to land at Dey Krahorm received a simple one-room brick home, the size and design of a single garage. Families who were renting received nothing, and are still living under rough tarpaulin lean-tos on a muddy scrap of land next to a road.
There is very little work at Damnak Trayeung. And because the site is more than 20 kilometres from the centre and it would cost a day's wages to travel to and from work, many people no longer have jobs. According to Licadho, two-thirds of the evictees who used to earn an income now earn nothing.
Luy Sinath is a 41-year-old seamstress who used to earn eight US dollars a day at Dey Krahorm. Now she earns just 25 cents. That means her three children cannot afford to go to school, and her family is no longer self-sufficient. She relies on food handouts from charities to survive.
”We have no food to eat sometimes so people share what we have with each other,” she said. ”When I was in Dey Krahorm, I was hopeful that my children would get a good education, but now that we are here, I have lost hope.”
It is those experiences that worry Pol Vanna and his son, Touris, a 26-year-old construction worker. The latter has visited the proposed relocation site for the evictees from Boeung Kak, which he said lacks any facilities.
”It is very far from the schools for our children and from where we work. Most of us are construction workers,” he said. ”It is a long way to the nearest hospital. We can't afford to pay for transportation for our children.”
LICADHO's Naly Pilorge said conditions at some relocation sites outside Phnom Penh are dire, with practically no health care, no schools, no running water, no sanitation, and no jobs. At the Andong relocation site, for example, the human rights group's doctors go door-to-door because some residents are too ill or old to come to the medics.
”We are seeing malnutrition, beriberi, discolouration of the hair, extended bellies,” she said. ”They have sores (on their legs) at Andong û these huge infected wounds û because they are constantly walking in stagnant water that is mixed with sewerage.”
Back at Boeung Kak, the air is heavy with the sound of hammering as people dismantle homes they have lived in for up to 30 years. They are the first of an estimated 30,000 who will eventually be evicted from the surrounds of the lake.
It is still too early to say how their lives will be affected by the country's latest dubious land deal. But the experiences of Luy Sinath and others suggest the lives of the people from Boeung Kak will likely get a lot harder in the coming months.

WORLD BANK HOLDS DISCUSSIONS ON REFORMS
World Bank Vice President for the East Asia and Pacific Region, Mr. James W. Adams, was in Phnom Penh on Thursday, August 27 and Friday, August 28, 2009 for meetings with senior government officials, development partners, and representatives from NGOs, research institutes and the private sector.
This was part of a regional visit that takes in Cambodia, Timor-Leste and China. Mr. Adams visited Cambodia to discuss and review the status of the World Bank’s support program in Cambodia, particularly in the areas of land reform, decentralization and deconcentration, public financial management, and private sector development.
Mr. Adams discussed with senior government officials the impact of the global economic crisis on the region in general and on Cambodia in particular, and measures to mitigate the impact of the crisis, especially on Cambodia’s most vulnerable people.
A major focus of the visit was Cambodia’s urban land sector and the increasing numbers of disputes and evictions of poor people in urban settlements. This included discussion of the report from the enhanced review of the Land Management and Administration Project (LMAP), which was undertaken in response to questions raised about a possible link between the project and these disputes.
The discussions on land reform were constructive and it was agreed to continue these discussions over the coming week to agree next steps.
