"Information received concerning the forced eviction and resettlement of at least 40,000 people, including Indigenous Peoples, from their homes and lands in Angkor. Such evictions and resettlement have allegedly been carried out without the Indigenous Peoples’ free, prior and informed consent, meaningful consultation, due process, redress including compensation, and without the provision of adequate housing of their choice and of equal quality at the resettlement site. The resettlement plans have been allegedly made to protect Angkor’s UNESCO World Heritage Status, following a 1992 UNESCO report which indicated that living around the restricted area of Angkor was inappropriate to preserve the archaeological site."
