INCIDENT RELATED TO CAMBODIA AT INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE IN ROME

Because they could not ensure the exclusion of opposition leader Sam Rainsy from the meeting, the official Cambodian delegation led by parliamentarian Chheang Vun walked out from the Italian Parliament building and boycotted the 7th Assembly of Parliamentarians for the International Criminal Court (ICC). The Speaker of the Italian Chamber of Deputies and the other hosts did not try to retain the official Cambodian delegation from leaving. Cambodian opposition parliamentarians Sam Rainsy and Tioulong Saumura instead continued to attend the meeting and will do so until the end of the Conference.
