This charge – which carries a punishment of between six months and two years in jail – severly underestimates the gravity of the act and is symptomatic of the culture of impunity that exists in Cambodia.

    Civil Society Urges ASEAN to Promote Responsible Business Practices Across the Region

    As the dust settles on the Association of South-East Asian Nations (“ASEAN”) Summit and the ASEAN Civil Society Conference/ASEAN People’s Forum, both held in Phnom Penh over the last two weeks to discuss various pressing thematic issues at a regional level, it is an opportune moment to reflect upon the role that businesses play in the region – in terms of both economic and social development – and the impact that they have upon the lives of ASEAN’s people.
