                       With EBA Status on the Line, Hun Sen Says Cambodia 
Will Ignore EU’s Recommendations
                              Cambodia's Prime Minister Hun Sen on Wednesday 
reiterated his stance that the country would not give in to the European 
Union’s recommendations on human rights and governance simply to preserve 
the country’s status under the trade bloc’s Everything But Arms (EBA) 
program.

                              The EU is currently considering withdrawing 
Cambodia from the EBA—which gives developing nations tariff-free access to 
the European markets for all products except arms.

                       Human Development Report 2019

                              Despite unprecedented progress against 
poverty, hunger and disease, many societies are not working as they should. 
The connecting thread, argues a new report from the United Nations 
Development Programme (UNDP), is inequality.

                              A new generation of inequalities is opening 
up, around education, and around technology and climate change - - two 
seismic shifts that, unchecked, could trigger a ‘new great divergence’ in 
society of the kind not seen since the Industrial Revolution, according to 
the report. “This Human Development Report sets out how systemic 
inequalities are deeply damaging our society and why,” said Achim Steiner, 
the UNDP Administrator.

                       Strong appeal from the UN High Commissioner for Human 
Rights to the Iranian Government

                              In light of information that begin to filter 
on the recent protests in Iran on November 15th, the High Commissioner for 
Human Rights, Michelle Bachelet, expresses concern about the continuing lack 
of transparency about the victims and physical treatments, the violations of 
a fair trial of the hundreds of detainees as well as the arrests taking 
place. At least 7.000 people have been arrested in 28 of Iran’s 31 
provinces. The UN Human Rights Office has information suggesting that at 
least 208 people were killed, including 13 women and 12 children. The same 
concern for intimidation against journalists who report the situation both 
inside and outside the country. The High Commissioner urges the authorities 
for an immediate release from detention all protestors who have been 
arbitrarily deprived of their liberty, and to ensure their rights to due 
process; urges the Iranian Government, in the event of further protests, to 
respect Iranians' rights to exercise freedom of expression, peaceful 
association and to investigate violations that have occurred.

                       The Afghanistan Papers show the corrosive 
consequences of letting corruption go unchecked

                              A toxic mix of U.S. government policies, under 
the administrations of George W. Bush and Barack Obama, directly contributed 
to Afghanistan’s descent into one of the world’s most corrupt countries.

                              U.S. leaders said publicly that they had no 
tolerance for corruption in Afghanistan, but that was one of several topics 
related to the war effort on which they systematically misled the public, 
according to a trove of confidential government interviews obtained by The 
Washington Post.
