Phnom penh: H.E. Keo Remy, President of the Cambodian Human Rights Committee (CHRC), has sent an urgent appeal to H.E. Volker Trk, United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights. The appeal concerns the use of disturbing sounds by Thai armed forces as a form of psychological intimidation and harassment along the Cambodia-Thailand border.

According to Agence Kampuchea Presse, the appeal was made in response to ongoing incidents reported along the border, where Thai armed forces have allegedly employed these sounds as a tactic against individuals in the region. The CHRC’s appeal seeks immediate intervention from the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) to address this issue.

The use of sound as a psychological tool has raised significant concern among human rights organizations, prompting the CHRC to take swift action. The appeal underscores the need for international oversight and intervention to ensure the protection of human rights along the border.

H.E. Keo Remy’s appeal highlights the potential impact of such tactics on the affected communities, urging the OHCHR to investigate and take necessary measures to prevent further incidents. The appeal reflects Cambodia’s commitment to safeguarding the rights and well-being of its citizens and calls for cooperation from international bodies to resolve the matter.
