Parties yet to agree on part of NEC draft law

The CEROC appreciates Kuoy Bunroeun who proposed the dual citizenship as well as 25 years of age be able to hold the position of Secretary and Deputy Secretary of the new NEC. According to Cambodian constitution (article 34 new) and the Universal Declaration on Human Rights, on article 25 of Civic Participation and Political Rights of the United Nations, all Cambodian citizens can exercise their rights to vote to influence the governmental decision-making and to safeguard their own rights. The CEROC is keen to write to the Japanese group who is wishing to help NEC reform in Cambodia by including Cambodians living abroad to exercise the rights to vote. The current NEC led by Tep Nitha, has been nonsensical during this voter registration. This same NEC has excluded Cambodians abroads since the second mandate of national election after the UNTAC. All voter registrations must be legally and inclusive to all Cambodian people.

The CEROC is very vital in supporting the mandating of premiership to two terms

The CEROC has been very vital on the agenda for reforms and bringing genuine democratization for Cambodia. The propose to mandate two terms for premiership is very productive to end chronic power abusing in Cambodia. The CEROC is committing to stay side by side with all those who are fighting against all political odds especially the policy that protects the powerful and politicians to continue their wrong behaviors. The calling for to engage in national elections by the Overseas Khmers voters as well as to limit the mandate of premiership is the constructive step to moving forwards for genuine democratization in Cambodia.

Mr. Sophoan Seng advocated The CEROC through IceBucketChallenge

Happy Labor Day!
Thank you Pheak Kdey Son for nominating me to face off #IceBucketChallenges of ALS and I would like to nominate KimLy Chea, Janet Seng and Chantha Hem for the next rolling. They have been allowed to 6 days in maximum for completion. In the meantime, I would like to donate $50 for the Ceroc or the Committee for Election Rights of Overseas Cambodians.


It is time for all Khmers Overseas to shoulder together

cambodia-flag

While he is riding on the Swing Gondola at the Calgary Stampede Festival, Mr. Seng Sophoan made an appealing to all Cambodians around the world to sign petition to demand for the Rights to Vote in Cambodia elections. His message is making clear that “no Cambodian citizen shall be marginalized from their full participation in social, economic and political activities in Cambodia”.

His team work is named “The CEROC” or “Commission for Election Rights of Overseas Cambodians” has been established since March 9th, 2014 and this volunteer-based organization has accomplished several things including nearly 3000 petition collections from around the world.

With this prospect, their right to vote is inclusive and NEC must not exclude them although they have lived or worked or studied in foreign countries.

At the end, he inquired the Cambodia NEC to prepare a National Election that is acceptable by international standard, be inclusive, free and fair, and receptive to universal suffrage.

Appealing from The CEROC Leader

Khmers people who are living around the globe must be able to vote during each national election of Cambodia. Their rights to vote and nation-building is guaranteed by the Cambodia National Constitution and the International Laws.

With this common ground, we have laid down concerted effort to achieve it.

Our nation shall hugely benefit from this.

Our future generation shall hugely benefit from this.

Together we accomplish!
