Dear Governor/Minister,
I would like to draw your attention to the plight of the former inhabitants of Borei Keila in Phnom Penh who have been evicted from their homes.
I condemn the eviction of 20 families living with HIV and AIDS 18 June to a grossly inadequat resettlement with no clean water, no sanitation, no electricity, no health services and inadequate housing.
I am also concerned that 11 other families were evicted on 21 June without guaranteed adequate alternative housing of tenure at Borei Keila.
I urgently call on the authorities to immediately provide humanitarian assistance to the families and improve basic services at Tuol Sambo, such as clean water, an adequate sanitation and sewage system, and access to local health care.
Forced evictions were recognized by the UN Commission on Human Rights to be a gross violation of a range of human rights including the right to adequate housing, which is protected in Article 11 of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR). As a state party to the ICESCR and other international treaties, Cambodia has an obligation to stop forced evictions and to protect people from forced evictions.
Respectfully and sincerely,
Namn, adress
