		The upcoming elections in Cambodia are likely to represent a major turning point, not only for the country's political system, but also for the international community, which has made a sizable investment in the country's economic and political development.
		The outcome of the elections scheduled for July 26--and the international community's response to them--will have a major bearing on the near- and medium-term prospects for peace and democracy in Cambodia.
		But for the elections to be considered free and fair, the campaign period must be reasonably free of manipulation and intimidation, the polls must be conducted in a competent and neutral manner, and the parties must honor the outcome.

		Cambodia already has a number of respected, neutral human rights organizations, but CCHR operates in “partnership” with IRI and provides reporting of rights abuses that are of particular political utility.
		Cambodia’s lackadaisical and corrupt judicial system never arrested any suspects, but IRI and Abney say they are “confident” that Hun Sen was himself responsible.
		Several weeks later, IRI issued its final election assessment, citing “pre-election intimidation and an inequitable political playing field in Cambodia’s failure to meet international standards.” The IRI blamed the entire post-election impasse on the CPP for not acceding to the demand that Hun Sen be removed as prime minister.

		Beyond the fight with Ranariddh, Cambodia's strong man seems prepared for a long, nasty contest with the rest of the world, which spent years and billions of dollars trying to pull Cambodia out of its decades-long turmoil.
		The elections were a bright moment-4 million Cambodians voted-but when Ranariddh's party won, Hun Sen didn't accept the verdict.
		Sihanouk, restored as constitutional monarch in 1991, brokered a compromise in which the two men ruled as "co-premiers." It was a clumsy solution-there were two armies and twin heads of every ministry-and last July it became unsustainable.
