Book Description
This report, prepared by the Lawyers Committee for Human Rights, examines the status of human rights in Kampuchea after the Vietnamese invasion of the country, and the threats to the safety of over a quarter of a million of Kampucheans who fled to Thailand. The report contains a detailed description of the causes of this refugee flow, namely the consequences of the Khmer Rouge invasion and of the subsequent Vietnamese invasion. Both invasions resulted in policies falling far short of any human rights standards. The report describes the threat posed to displaced Kampucheans due to the proximity of their camps to the Thai border, aggravated by abuses committed by the Thai security forces themselves. Moreover, those Kampuchean refugees, who number over 24,000, currently enjoying protection under the UNHCR's mandate, are likely to be removed to sites close to the border. Towards this end, the authors of the report recommend that the UNHCR not allow such removal, that it extend its protection mandate to cover all displaced Kampucheans in Thailand, that the stationing of international personnel in border camps could alleviate security rights, and that finally, the US, as an ally of Thailand, could exercise its influence in a more constructive manner in order to promote the protection of displaced Kampucheans.

Book Description
For over ten years hundreds of thousands of Kampucheans have fled their country, seeking refuge in neighbouring Thailand. The first section of this paper discusses the history of the Kampuchean flight to Thailand and the evolution of Thailand's response to the influx of refugees. It identifies three phases of conflict: 1) 1975-1979: Kampucheans flee the communist regime of Pol Pot; 2) 1979-1980: Kampucheans flee Vietnamese invaders; 3) 1980-1985: Kampucheans continue to move into Thailand to escape the escalating conflict in the border area between Kampuchean resistance armies and the Vietnamese. The second section of the paper describes the current situation of approximately 70,000 official and undocumented Kampuchean refugees living in camps in Thailand. It also describes the current plight of more than 230,000 displaced Kampucheans living in border camps. The author concludes that after ten years of crisis, the Kampucheans still need and must be given international assistance.
