Existing Mechanisms for Addressing Corruption
There are a number of conclusions that can be drawn from this report. The most obvious conclusion is that there is a great deal of corruption in Cambodia and that most of it is not reported, investigated or punished. There are numerous reasons for this conclusion. For example, many Cambodians do not report corruption because they do not believe the government will do anything about it and because they are afraid that they will be retaliated against for reporting it.

Human Rights and Freedom of Expression Events: Learning From Experience
The events that followed the arrests in late 2005 brought many positive developments within civil society. Cambodians worked in new ways with the international community, and traditional networks were expanded. Freedom of expression and assembly are still at risk in Cambodia. In 2005, the authorities began using a defamation law dating back to the United Nations Transitional Authority in Cambodia (UNTAC) period to arrest and imprison high profile figures for expressing their views and for allowing others to express their views. Even more importantly, many more un-named and powerless activists in the provinces have been charged with defamation. Despite government commitments to conduct a review of the law, defamation still remains a criminal offense. Under the current draft of a proposed new law on public assembly, all spontaneous protests and demonstrations must be held in government-designated parks, have no more than 200 people, and last no longer than four hours.

Human Rights in Cambodia the Facade of Stability Report 2006
LICADHO maintains that there can be no genuine stability without human rights and rule of law. When power is concentrated in the hands of a few, stability can easily tend towards authoritarian rule by a minority who abuse and exploit the majority. When the Government restricts freedom of expression and assembly, the result is not a stable political environment, but merely the absence of audible dissent. Real debate is critical to the development of good government policies, to better serve the people of Cambodia, and to promote real social, economic and political stability.
