In August 2009, CCHR launched the Cambodian Business and Human Rights Project to advance understanding of human rights within the Cambodian business community, and to encourage Cambodian businesses to commit to respecting human rights. Since United Nations sponsored elections in 1993, Cambodia has embarked on an ambitious program of economic development, in which the private sector plays a prominent role. Cambodia remains one of the poorest countries in Asia and often Cambodians have been negatively affected by economic development projects. The economy rests primarily on four sectors: garments, tourism, construction and agriculture. In addition, there is an emergent extractive industry.
