#Cambodia: World Heritage Committee must not ignore ‘mass forced evictions’ around Angkor Wat
> “The Cambodian government has claimed the evictions are of ‘illegal inhabitants’ only, as opposed to those who comprise ‘traditional villages’. [..] research shows that the state has provided no clarity as to who has a legally recognized right to stay. Many people who are being forced to leave [..] have lived at Angkor for generations
