"(...)I urge the Royal Government of Cambodia to follow the United Nation's example and release the names of the Cambodian candidates under consideration and the selection criteria far enough in advance of the final decision. This would allow civil society organizations and international community to comment on the Cambodian candidates. By doing so, the government will improve the credibility and transparency of the selection process. Even if civil society finds no new information about the candidates, the government will strengthen public confidence in the process by allowing civil society participation. Moreover, civil society might turn up new information - after all, when looking for something, many pairs of eyes are better than one pair of eyes. This too would strengthen the selection process.(...)"

Open letter by Dr. Kek Galabru, President of LICADHO
