During the 24 years of Paris Peace Agreement commemoration organized by the Khmer Youth Association of Alberta, Mr. Sophan Seng was invited as a keynote speaker during the session. You can follow his talk and his advocacy for the CEROC following:
——-
Paris Peace Agreement Cambodia is an insurance for Cambodia country.
These 24 years anniversary is very crucial like every year else that Khmer Youth Association of Alberta organized it.
ផ្អែកលេីហេតុផលទាំងបីខាងលេី យេីងឃេីញថាប្រជាជនខ្មែរឯនាយសមុទ្រអាចចូលរួមបោះឆ្នោតបាន ប៉ុន្តែហេតុអ្វីពួកគេមិនអាចចូលរួមបានមកទល់ថ្ងៃនេះ?
I am very glade that prominent opposition leader has repeated to join the CEROC advocacy for the participation of Khmers overseas to vote in all Cambodia elections. We should be aware that there are approximate 3 millions population of Khmers overseas and they have hugely contributed to nation-building.
1. Each year, they has sent in remittance not less than 5 millions US dollars to develop the economy.
2. Basing on principle of multiparty democratic system, all Khmer people must be encouraged to actively participate in politics particularly to choose their representatives regardless of where they are living.
3. Cambodia constitution and the Universal Declaration on Human Rights of the United Nations have guaranteed the full participation to vote of Khmer people regardless of their living places.
Referring above three pillars, we are convinced that Khmers overseas are able to vote in Cambodia elections but until now why those are still unable?
The million-plus Canadians who have been living outside the country for more than five years have been denied the right to vote.
The Ontario Court of Appeal upheld federal voting restrictions in a 2-1 ruling Monday, saying non-residents do not live with the consequences of their votes on a daily basis, so it would therefore harm Canada’s democracy to let them cast a ballot.
It would “erode the social contract and undermine the legitimacy of the laws,” Chief Justice George Strathy said for the majority, joined by Justice David Brown.
The challenge to voting restrictions was brought by Gillian Frank, a former Canadian Forces member from Toronto who has lived in the United States for 13 years and is pursuing postdoctoral studies, and Jamie Duong, who left Montreal for high school in Vermont and now works at Cornell University. Both have family in Canada and say they would return if they could find suitable jobs in their fields.
In an interview, Prof. Frank, a visiting fellow at Princeton University’s Center for the Study of Religion, said he left Canada after his advisers at York University told him he would have better job opportunities in Canada with a U.S. degree.
