conducted under often repressive        
conditions1 and the opposition is       
hampered by serious legal and physical  
harassment42 ,whereas the ,department of
 ,state's ,country ,reports on ,human   
,rights ,practices for #bjaa notes that 
a leading human rights problem in       
,cambodia is a weak judiciary '''       
subject to corruption and political     
influence2 ,whereas ,human ,rights

corruption1 and the tacit support of    
foreign powers2 ,whereas the ,july #af1 
#bjab1 ,report of the ,united ,nations  
,special ,rapporteur on the situation of

 human rights in ,cambodia              
7,a_/,,hrc_/#ba_/fc7 notes that there   
are major flaws in the administration of
 elections in ,cambodia and urgent and  
long-term reforms are needed to give    
,cambodians confidence in the electoral 
process and in the workings of the      
,national ,election ,committee2 ,whereas
 the ,july #af1 #bjab1 report includes  
#ah specific recommendations for        
improving the election framework and    
environment in ,cambodia to ensure      
greater transparency1 accountability1   
and political association and           
expression1 including the full          
participation of opposition leader ,sam 
,rainsy in upcoming parliamentary       
elections2 and ,whereas ,sam ,rainsy and
 other opposition members and activists 
continue to be the target of official   
harassment through politically motivated
 accusations and charges1 denied due    
process of law1 and excluded from       
participating in upcoming national      
elections in ,cambodia3 ,now1 therefore1

 be it  ,that--  7#a7 in order to be    
considered credible and competitive1 the
 ,july #bjac parliamentary elections in 
,cambodia must implement the            
recommendations contained in the ,july  
#af1 #bjab1 ,report of the ,united      
,nations ,special ,rapporteur on the    
situation of human rights in ,cambodia  
7,a_/,,hrc_/#ba_/fc71 and must include  
the full and unfettered participation of
 all political parties' leaders1        
specifically ,sam ,rainsy2  7#b7 the    
,united ,states ,department of ,state   
and the ,united ,states ,agency for     
,international ,development should      
refrain from supporting national or     
local elections in ,cambodia1 or        
deploying election monitors to the ,july
 #bjac parliamentary elections1 if such 
,united ,nations recommendations are    
ignored1 and if political parties and   
opposition leaders are excluded or      
otherwise hampered from fully and freely
 participating in electoral processes1  
including during the campaign period and

 on election day2  7#c7 any election in 
,cambodia that the ,secretary of ,state 
determines is not credible and          
competitive should be deemed as an      
illegitimate expression of the          
,cambodian peoples' will1 and an        
impediment to the democratic development
 of ,cambodia2 and  7#d7 a ,cambodian   
government formed as a result of such   
illegitimate elections should not be    
eligible for direct ,united ,states     
,government assistance1 including for   
the military and police1 and the        
,department of ,state and ,united       
,states ,agency for ,international      
,development should jointly reassess and
 reduce assistance for ,cambodia in     
subsequent fiscal years1 and urge       
international financial institutions to 
do the same4
