Amnesty International, The Centre for Public Policy Analysis, the United League for Democracy in Laos, Human Rights Watch, the Lao Human Rights Council and other non-governmental organizations (NGO)s have raised concerns about the ratification record of the Laos Government on human rights standards and its lack of cooperation with the UN human rights mechanisms and legislative measures which impact on human rights. They have raised concerns in relation to disappeared civic activist Sombath Somphone, and jailed and tortured political and religious dissidents, military attacks on unarmed civilians, and the lack of freedom of expression, torture, poor prison conditions, restrictions on freedom of religions, protection of refugees and asylum-seekers, extrajudicial killing and rape by the Lao People's Army and security forces and the improper use of the death penalty.[1] Some officials and police have facilitated and profited from sex trafficking in Laos.[2][3]
The purported policy objectives of both the Government of Laos and international donors remain focused toward achieving sustainable economic growth and poverty reduction,[4] and restrictions on freedom of expression and association are a source of concern.[5] The barring of independent human rights monitors makes an exact appraisal of the situation impossible. In particular, the situation for groups of ethnic Hmong hiding in the jungle leads to a steady stream of people taking refuge in neighboring Thailand. No executions have been reported since 1989.[6]
