A/HRC/41/17
107. Cambodia was emerging from war; after having directly suffered its devastating
effects, it was keen to support peace endeavours around the world, because without peace
there could be no human rights. Cambodia could indeed become the first post-conflict
country in the history of the United Nations to go from recipient State of peacekeeping
operation forces to a State dispatching them.
108. With regard to sociocultural rights, Cambodia had demonstrated commendable
achievements thanks to the ongoing support of the international community and partner
States.
109. Cambodia remained committed to strengthening cooperation and constructive
partnerships with all United Nations human rights mechanisms and stakeholders in order to
further consolidate the promotion and protection of human rights in the country.
