Cambodia has shut down Pentagon programs in the southeast Asian country searching for the remains of US Vietnam War soldiers after Washington denied visas for senior Cambodian foreign ministry officials and their families - a response to Phnom Penh’s refusal to accept dual-Cambodian/US citizens who have been convicted of crimes in America.
Reacting to a new set of visa sanctions slapped on Phnom Penh by Washington on September 13 for the southeastern nation's refusal to accept people deported by the United States, Cambodia has announced that it will no longer support US missions in the country searching for remains of Vietnam War combatants claimed to be missing in action.

According to a Thursday statement by Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen, Phnom Penh has cancelled Pentagon MIA missions in the country, a move reported by Cambodia's Fresh News media outlet and later confirmed by government spokesman Phay Siphan, cited by APnews.com.

Washington previously claimed that Cambodia was refusing or delaying the acceptance of Cambodian nationals who also have US citizenship who had been convicted of crimes in the US from being deported, similar to recent measures taken by Washington against Eritrea, Sierra Leone and Guinea.

On Thursday, the Cambodian foreign ministry denied the accusations, stating that Phnom Penh was in the process of modifying a 2002 agreement to accept certain people with Cambodian citizenship, under strict guidelines.

Not exactly.

As the story clearly states: The Americans claim Cambodia refuses to accept criminals holding American citizenship who were deported because they were born in Cambodia. When was the last time a British or Canadian-born American citizen was deported? Heck, it took us a real a job of work to get a Canadian kid with no US ties outta your prison camp and 'deported' to do his time here. So now Washington's trying coercion. Seems a pretty arbitrary (not to say standard) bit of First vs. Third World bullying to me.

You gave them citizenship, and they committed their crimes in your country, you cannot force the country they left (during the Khmer Rouge?) to take them back in. Try being diplomatic about it. Which would start with allowing their diplomats to take up their positions.
