The international community saw the PPA as an opportunity to disentangle itself from Cambodia, but domestic opposition figures saw it as an obligation for the international community to continue to engage in the country's democratic transition. Brad Adams, the current director of Human Rights Watch's Asia division, was in Cambodia in the immediate aftermath of the Paris Peace Agreements (PPA), from 1993-1998.
