Free and fair elections are a fundamental element of a healthy democracy. To be truly free and fair, however, elections require not only transparent and well-managed election day polling, but also a society that encourages full citizen participation, political parties to operate freely, independent media to flourish, and which builds a judiciary system capable of exercising independent and impartial authority. 2, record 2, English, - free%20and%20fair%20election

After the signing of the Paris Agreements on 23 October 1991, UNTAC was established and replaced United Nations Advanced Mission in Cambodia(UNAMIC). The mission consisted of 7 distinct components : human rights, electoral, military, civil administration, civilian police, repatriation and rehabilitation. Although each component had specific roles, UNTAC' s main task was to hold a free and fair election in Cambodia and to give its people the tools to build a stable and peaceful future. On 4 November 1993, the Security Council noted that the goal of the Paris Agreements had been reached with the conclusion of the UNTAC' s mission. 4, record 3, English, - United%20Nations%20Transitional%20Authority%20in%20Cambodia

À la suite de la signature des Accords de Paris, le 23 octobre 1991, l'APRONUC a été créée pour remplacer la Mission préparatoire des Nations Unies au Cambodge (MIPRENUC). La mission se composait de sept éléments distincts (droits de la personne, élections, aspect militaire, administration civile, police civile, rapatriement et réhabilitation). Chacun avait des rôles précis à remplir, mais l'APRONUC avait principalement pour tâche de veiller à ce qu'on procède à la tenue d'élections libres et honnêtes au Cambodge et de fournir à la population les outils nécessaires pour s'assurer un avenir de paix et de stabilité. Le 4 novembre 1993, le Conseil de sécurité a remarqué que, la mission de l'APRONUC terminée, le but des Accords de Paris avait été atteint. 4, record 3, French, - Autorit%C3%A9%20provisoire%20des%20Nations%20Unies%20au%20Cambodge
