The present report is submitted in accordance with decision 9/15 of the Human Rights Council. The present Special Rapporteur was appointed with effect from 1 May 2009 and he undertook his first mission to Cambodia a month later, from 16 to 26 June 2009. Given the lack of time to conduct an in-depth assessment of the situation of human rights in the country so as to be able to report about it in a credible manner, the Special Rapporteur decided that he would focus his first mission on familiarizing himself with the complex realities of the country, to re-establish conditions for a fruitful dialogue with the Government on human rights issues of concern, and to look for ways to strengthen cooperation between the Government, civil society representatives and the international community around these issues.
