Advisory services and technical cooperation in the field of human rights
During his first mission to Cambodia as Special Representative, from 28 November to 5 December 2005, Yash Ghai gave particular attention to the Constitution of Cambodia, the justice sector and the rule of law, and to freedoms of association, assembly and expression. He found a deteriorating environment for democratic participation and practice. The frequent use of lawsuits brought by the Government through the courts to counter dissent and opposition has made it increasingly difficult for opposition-party politicians, trade unions, journalists, civil society and human rights organizations to express their views or to function freely. At the time of finalizing this report, well known public figures and activists were either unable to return to Cambodia, or were in prison awaiting trial, charged variously with defamation, disinformation and incitement.
