Kampuchea Thmey Daily | At the AICHR meeting in Melaka, Malaysia from 10-14 November 2025, Cambodia condemned what it described as “unprovoked attacks”, citing international law and the Kuala Lumpur Joint Statement of 26 October 2025. Cambodia urged partners to press for an independent investigation and compensation.
Khmer Times | The Cambodian Human Rights Committee strongly condemned what it describes as two unprovoked attacks by Thai soldiers on Cambodian civilians on 12 November 2025. It urged an independent investigation and called for the immediate and unconditional release of 18 Cambodian soldiers who had been detained by Thailand.
AICHR | AICHR discussed next steps for the two recently adopted ASEAN declarations, in order to develop an inclusive and sustainable Regional Plan of Action and on follow-up actions to realise the declarations respectively. The Meeting concluded with the handover of the AICHR Chairship from Malaysia to the Philippines for 2026.
Cambodianess | The Cambodian Human Rights Committee (CHRC) urged regional and international communities to jointly conduct an independent and fair investigation into the recent incident during which Thai soldiers opened fire on Cambodian civilians in a disputed border area.

Greenpeace Malaysia | Greenpeace Southeast Asia emphasised that the focus must now move to ensuring the effective implementation of the ASEAN Declaration on the Right to a Safe, Clean, Healthy and Sustainable Environment. ASEAN Member States must take steps to translate its principles into enforceable national laws and regional mechanisms.

The Star | Environmental and human rights groups say the recent adoption of the environmental declaration is an important milestone for ASEAN.

Fokus Bernama | AICHR Chair Edmund Bon said that although the recently adopted ASEAN declaration on the environment is not law, it is “soft law” and can be used in judgements when dealing with trans-boundary environmental issues. Member states, civil societies and communities can also use the declaration as a framework for advocacy and implementation at the national level.
