(Phnom Penh) – Today 15 Cambodian civil society organizations (CSOs) and major CSO networks, supported by Inclusive Development International and 26 other international CSO partners, wrote to the World Bank demanding that the Bank make good on its public commitment to condition new lending to Cambodia on the provision of redress for the thousands of families who were forcibly evicted from the Boeung Kak Lake area in violation of the government’s contractual obligations to apply the Bank’s resettlement policy.
