Cambodia-Australia Refugees Deal

It
is not difficult to divine the motivation for Cambodia to accept this
refugee deal from Australia: free, easy money in the whopping sum of
USD35 million. It is an open secret that the Cambodian officials will
personally pocket the bulk of these millions earmarked for the refugees,
leaving the refugees to fend for themselves in the killing fields of
Cambodia. If these Cambodian officials abuse their own citizens of
their own blood and heritage, strip away land from their own citizens,
plunder the national coffers and resources that could lift the Cambodian
citizens from extreme poverty, one would be a complete naif or worse to
think that genuine assistance and proper funding will be given to these
impoverished, vulnerable foreigners.
The
issue here is not the motivation of the Cambodian officials which is
transparently obvious to anyone with an ounce of integrity but that of
the Australian government.
I
am greatly appalled by the blatant violations and heartless disregard
by Australia of international law, binding covenants and conventions
relating to rights and protection of refugees, particularly relating to
those most vulnerable, e.g. children and women.
I
am also deeply ashamed on behalf of decent Australians whose image is
marred by their government's gross violations and heartless disregard
for law and human rights.
Cambodia
ranks at the very bottom tier of indices for human development,
corruption, education, social welfare, security, inter alia. These
refugees will be dumped into a sea of human rights abuses.
Last year Hun Sen said the motivation was strictly humanitarian.
Hun Sen has a long history of 30 years for violating and pooh-poohing
humanitarian law against his own citizens. It will take more than his
say-so to reverse his anti-humanitarian tendency.
Perhaps all of these heartless Australian officials are the direct descendents of the hard core, insolent criminals who got dumped there by the British Empire just before the WWII ended.
