The independent and efficient functioning of the judiciary is central to the protection and enforcement of human rights. The Constitution of the Kingdom of Cambodia (the “Constitution”) provides for recognition and respect for human rights, as stipulated in all relevant international instruments. This includes the right to a fair trial, more specifically defined in the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (the “ICCPR”) as “the right of every person accused of a crime to receive a fair and public hearing by a competent, independent and impartial tribunal established by law”.
