The Hague, international city of justice, this weekend took one more step in the process of expanding the scope of international justice. The Unrepresented Nations and Peoples Organization (UNPO) joined forces with the Khmers Kampuchea–Krom Federation (KKF) and the Hawai’i Institute for Human Rights (HIHR), in an effort to construct and further a meaningful dialogue on the subject of self-determination. A concept, which though enshrined in many documents central to international law, remains largely poorly understood and executed in practice.

The past week has seen discussions at the UN General Assembly in New York and UN Human Rights Council in Geneva on the integral link between the prevailing security climate and questions relating to human rights, intra-state stability, and self-determination.

Symposium

The prevalence of this inter-relationship, and the magnitude of its related issues, emphasises the importance of building on these discussions by continuing them also beyond the halls and corridors of the General Assembly and Human Rights Council. From 29 September until 01 October 2006, the Unrepresented Nations and Peoples Organization (UNPO), in collaboration with the Khmers-Kampuchea-Krom Federation (KKF) and the Hawai’i Institute for Human Rights (HIHR), will hold an international Symposium on “The Right to Self-Determination and International Law,” in The Hague, the Netherlands.

Thank you Mr. Chairman.

The Khmer Kampuchea-Krom Federation(KKF) wishes to announce that the newly formed organization so called "Khmer Kampuchea-Krom Government" has no connection whatsoever with the KKF.

KKF is the sole legitimate organization representing the over eight millions Khmer Krom currently living under the oppression of the Vietnamese communist government.

On December 4th, 2005, The Khmer Kampuchea -Krom Federation (KKF) has wrapped up its last campaign for 2005 in Montreal, Quebec Canada. Over 100 Khmer and Khmer Krom families opened their warm welcomes to the representatives of the Khmer Kampuchea-Krom Federation (KKF).
