The fifth bi-annual report on fair trial rights in the Cambodian Courts (the “Report”) follows six months of trial monitoring by the Cambodian Center for Human Rights (“CCHR”) Trial Monitoring Project (the “Project”) and contains data collected from the monitoring of 463 trials involving 915 defendants in cases before the Phnom Penh Capital City Court of First Instance, Banteay Meanchey Provincial Court of First Instance, Ratanakkiri Provincial Court of First Instance and Kandal Provincial Court of First Instance. The Report analyzes both the improvements in the courts’ adherence to fair trial standards and the continued shortfalls in the application of procedures and respect for fair trial rights.
