10 October 2013- The Kingdom of Cambodia continues to be an example in the fight against death penalty and can be legitimately proud of the way it has drawn the lessons from the past and became a respected regional abolitionist, both by law and by conviction. At the occasion of the 11th World Day against the Death Penalty, the Delegation of the European Union in Cambodia and the Cambodia Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights commend the strong commitment of Cambodia to the abolition of the death penalty, and encourage the Kingdom to further lead the way on this issue, both domestically and at ASEAN level.

One thing I know for sure is I was born as a Buddhist, live as a Buddhist and will leave this earth as a Buddhist. I do not believe in superstition. I only believe in karma.
