During its Universal Periodic Review (UPR) in 2009, the Government of Cambodia took the extraordinary step of accepting all 91 recommendations to improve the human rights situation in the country. However, over the past four years the government has largely failed to live up to its commitments and those in power have continued to commit human rights abuses. Most recently, the government has displayed disdain for the UPR process by sending of a low-level delegation to the UPR second cycle in January 2014 and entering its own submission late.
