Son Soubert (Khmer:សឺន ស៊ូប៊ែរ្តិ៍ ) is a Cambodian politician, adviser to King Norodom Sihamoni and former member of the Constitutional Council of Cambodia.
[4] As Cambodia fell under the terror regime of the Khmers Rouge before being invaded by Vietnamese troops, Son Joubert actively supported the effort to welcome the asylum seekers in 1979.
In September 1991, he became vice-president of the Khmer People's National Liberation Front and continued to coordinate the effort to provide aid to the Cambodian refugees and asylum seekers in partnership with the UNESCO and the UNICEF.
[1] In what Son Soubert himself referred to as the "newly restored Kingdom of Cambodia, and democracy",[7] he became an important representant of the Khmer people in the footsteps of his father.
[8] He was chosen as second vice president of the Assembly in October 1993 under the chairmanship of Chea Sim after Son Sann was ousted by Ieng Mouly working his way to power.
Son Soubert has devoted his life as his ancestors for the defense of Cambodia which he considered a nation in survival mode, because of historical and present-day factors.
[19] During his tenure at the National Assembly of Cambodia, Son Soubert was concerned about protecting the separation of powers and critical of nominations which jeopardized the independence of the judiciary.
[1] Through his father, he was also a descendant of national hero Son Kuy who gave his life for Cambodia and defend the rights of Kampuchea Krom, and he was very critical when attempts were made to compare Sam Rainsy to his ancestor.
