    Access to Collective Land Titles for Indigenous Communities in Cambodia

    The Cambodian Center for Human Rights (“CCHR”) is a leading, non-aligned, independent, nongovernmental organization (“NGO”) that works to promote and protect democracy and respect for human rights – primarily civil and political rights - throughout the Kingdom of Cambodia (“Cambodia”). CCHR’s vision is of a non-violent Cambodia in which people can enjoy their fundamental human rights, are empowered to participate in democracy, and share equally the benefits of Cambodia’s development. CCHR promotes the rule of law over impunity; strong institutions over strong men; and a pluralistic society in which variety is harnessed and celebrated rather than ignored or punished. CCHR’s logo – a dove flying in a circle of blue sky – represents the twin principles of peace and freedom.
