The International Parliamentary Committee for Democratic Elections in
Cambodia (IPCDEC) was officially launched in historic Club Filipino in San
Juan City, east of
Manila. Witnessing the event were IPCDEC Chair and Philippine Senator
Franklin Drilon, Cambodian Opposition Leader Sam Rainsy, Philippine
Presidential Adviser Neric Acosta, Philippine Congressman Jerry Trenas, FNF
Country Director Jules Maaten, and Cambodian MPs Saumura Tioulong and Yim
Sovann.
IPCDEC is a group of like-minded parliamentarians expressing their
solidarity to promote full and inclusive democracy in Cambodia. In
particular, it calls that the upcoming parliamentary elections on 28 July
2013 be free, fair, and in accordance with international standards. Past
elections in Cambodia, as attested by reports and statements from the
European Parliament, Inter-Parliamentary Union and Liberal International,
have been plagued with violence and electoral fraud.
