The Cambodian Center for Human Rights (“CCHR”) has classified the Instructional Plan on the Organization for the Implementation of the Village-‐Commune Safety Policy (the “VCSP”) as red under the CCHR Law Classification Series. Although there is evidence that the VCSP is having a positive effect in communities in terms of crime reduction and security, there are serious deficiencies in terms of (1) its legislative status and relationship with other laws and legal instruments, (2) the implications for the Cambodian people’s constitutional and civil rights, (3) grassroots political control, and (4) the increased opportunities for corruption.
