UN members [Cambodia: Den of Crime] People dying under torture... A silent regime, collapsed human rights
By UN Journal Kayla Lee There, people are still being tortured, sold, and dying. Their cries for help go unheard. The regime remains silent, and the authorities turn a blind eye. And that silence is the most brutal accomplice. Imprisoned people are beaten while chained, women are sold to human trafficking rings, and young people are used as slaves for cyber scams.

UN members [Special Column] Cambodia, a Buddhist nation: The land of compassion became a den of crime
By UN Journal Lee Jon-young Cambodia declares that over 95% of its people practice Theravada Buddhism, establishing compassion and the Middle Way as the nation's fundamental principles.

ArtsㅡCulture [Damwhachongsa Column] “The tiger of Byeoksachobok (辟邪招福)”
By UN Journal Lee Jon-young Tigers in Joseon Dynasty folk paintings always bore two faces.
