On November 9, at the Third Committee of the General Assembly, Ambassador Ouch Borith said the use of the term "extrajudicial killing" mentioned in the Special Representative's Memorandum (included in his Report) was a misunderstanding. There was no capital punishment within his Government's legal system. "Every killing and attempt on life is a crime which shall be punished by law," he said. There had been exaggerations regarding the "so called numerous instances of violations of human rights in the Special Representative's Report," he continued. There was no evidence of those violations. Also, prison conditions had improved.
