Publication : Press Release

The Cambodian Center for Human Rights (“CCHR”) understands that a small number of non-governmental organization (“NGO”) representatives have been invited by the Ministry of Interior (the “MOI”) to a consultation meeting on 29 March 2011 to discuss the second draft of the Law on Associations and NGOs (the “NGO Law”) with the MOI and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation (the “MOFAIC”). CCHR has decided, out of principle, not to engage with other NGOs and provide any input into the consultation, so as to distant itself from this token effort by the Royal Government of Cambodia (the “RGC”) to create the semblance of consensus regarding the NGO Law.
