| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Douglas Gillison and the investigative journalism group 100Reporters have revealed that the United States provided security training to members of Cambodia’s Royal Gendarmerie involved in violent forced evictions and to alleged murderers and kidnappers in Cambodia’s National Police Commissariat. These vetting oversights appear to violate the Leahy law, which prohibits U.S. funding of foreign military units that commit human rights abuses. |
