Today is the 24th International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples. In Cambodia, indigenous people are defined as a group “whose members manifest ethnic, social, cultural and economic unity and who practice a traditional lifestyle, and who cultivate the lands in their possession according to customary rules of collective use.” They benefit from specific protections under both Cambodian law and international law in order to safeguard their traditions, customs and beliefs, as well as the environment in which they live and rely on to survive. Learn what are the key rights of indigenous people through CCHR’s new infographic, which is available in both Khmer and Englishe.
