Phnom Penh (FN), Dec. 9 – An individual named Jared Genser, who has tacitly acquiesced to his cadre calling him an "international lawyer", has acted in an abusive way in the Cambodian jurisdiction and made statements of political nature, blatantly disregarding a country's sovereignty, intending to threaten the independence of the Cambodian judiciary; his actions also violated the provisions of Article 522 of the Cambodian Criminal Code for publication of commentaries intended to unlawfully coerce judicial authorities, according to the communiqué of Cambodian government attorney group seen by Fresh News on Thursday.

Recently, a foreign-based Khmer language news service, which is widely known for its constant deceitful and mischievous way of behaving against the truth in Cambodia, has written an article titled "An international lawyer warns that Hun Sen's government will face consequences if Seng Theary is convicted."

"While Jared Genser is trying to declare himself as a legal expert and even an international lawyer, this person has, surprisingly, actually acted against the laws of Cambodia," according to the communiqué.

"As with the other State members of the United Nations, the Kingdom of Cambodia is a sovereign country, operating under its Constitution and national laws enforceable within the boundaries of its territorial integrity and sovereignty. Nobody may declare himself/herself an international jurist qualified to perform acts within the Cambodian jurisdiction unless he/she has satisfied the requirements specified under the laws of Cambodia."

“The Constitution of the Kingdom of Cambodia separates three powers from each other, of which the judiciary is an independent power. Every judiciary-made decision is not involved with the executive branch or the legislative one.”
