The European Union and United Nations abruptly rescheduled the launch of an anti-human trafficking program this week after being confronted with questions on the choice of venue: a Phnom Penh hotel owned by a Cambodian tycoon who has another property that has been used by human traffickers.

After being questioned by The Associated Press about the choice of an L.Y.P. Group hotel for the program launch, local offices of both the EU and U.N. agencies involved replied that they had decided to reschedule the event to a later date. The U.N. added that the event's location was “under review.” “I believe the concerned agencies have investigated this further ... and are taking appropriate action," he said.

Such operations often lure people from around the region with the promise of legitimate jobs, then force them to work against their will in centers involved in online and telephone scam operations. Taiwanese authorities confirmed that several of its citizens have been rescued from scam operations at the O'Smach Resort, but have not specified when.

Ministry officials did not respond to requests for comment on the choice of venue for the launch of the project.
