Phnom Penh (FN), Mar. 10 – Cambodian ambassador and permanent representative to the United Nations at Geneva An Sokkhoeurn expressed his sadness that the Untied States has for years encountered systematic human rights messes, including double standards and hypocrisies.

The ambassador addressed at the 49th Session of the Human Rights Council “Right of Reply at the General Debate on Item 2”, which was held on 8 March 2022.

“Human rights advocates must first start at home. Sadly, our preacher [US] has for years encountered systematic human rights messes, including double standards and hypocrisies. In 2021, more than 700 people who had a dissenting voice were arrested and charged with crimes after descending on the US capitol. In the same year, more than 50 journalists were arrested and detained across the US. Social media accounts of a former president with just an opposing view were banned. The list is not exhaustive,” according to the statement seen by Fresh News on Thursday.
