    Four Years of Strikes at NagaWorld

    It has been four years, from 18 December 2021 to 18 December 2025, since workers at NagaWorld went on strike to demand justice, respect for labour rights and protect the freedom of the independent Labour Rights Supported Union of Khmer Employees of NagaWorld (LRSU) which the company has consistently sought to dismiss, expel and persecute in an attempt to dissolve, without proper basis, a union established by the agreement of workers since 2009.

    Briefing Note: Displacement during the Cambodia-Thailand border conflict and the right to housing and adequate shelter

    To mark World Habitat Day 2025, CCHR is reflecting on the enjoyment of the right to adequate shelter and housing as a result of the Cambodia-Thai border conflict and the displacement it caused. See CCHR’s Briefing Note to learn more about the displacement, the perspectives and concerns of those who have been displaced in the affected provinces, and the relevant human rights law and standards. CCHR calls on both parties to the border conflict, the RGC and the Royal Thai Government (RTG), to respect each country’s sovereignty by committing to peaceful conflict resolution and adherence to international law, thereby ensuring that further displacements do not occur in either country.

    Drop Amendments to Nationality Law, Don’t Strip Citizenship of Cambodians

    We are deeply worried that proposed amendments to the Nationality Law allowing the government to strip Cambodians of their citizenship are vaguely written, and will have a disastrously chilling effect on the freedom of speech of all Cambodian citizens.

    FORCED EVICTIONS IN CAMBODIA

    This month, in commemoration of World Habitat Day 2024, the Cambodian Center for Human Rights (CCHR) is releasing a fact sheet on forced evictions in Cambodia, covering the period from the lifting of COVID-19 restrictions in late 2021 to the present.

    ASEAN Rights Groups rally against UN Cybercrime Treaty’s Threat to Liberty and Privacy

    ASEAN (5 August 2024) - As the negotiations for the UN Cybercrime Treaty draw to a close on 9 August, we, members of the ASEAN Regional Coalition to #StopDigitalDictatorship and Southeast Asia Collaborative Policy Coalition (SEA CPN), voice our profound concerns regarding the numerous provisions within the treaty that significantly threaten civil liberties, privacy rights, and the protection of human rights activists globally. This treaty, proposed to foster international cooperation against cybercrime, appears to grant overly broad powers to States at the expense of individual freedoms and privacy. Proposed key elements of the treaty will allow States to abrogate their obligations under existing human rights treaties, and therefore undermine fundamental human rights norms.
