Geneva (FN), Sep. 16 - The Permanent Mission of the Kingdom of Cambodia in Geneva exercised the right of reply to the delegations of France and the US regarding what they considered as restriction of political rights in the Kingdom.

Human rights must not be weaponized with double standards, as stressed by the UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, if we are to uphold the highest integrity and credibility of this Council.”
