Publication : Press Release

As the second session of the fifth mandate of the Cambodian National Assembly (“NA”) opens today – 1 April 2014 – the Cambodian Center for Human Rights (“CCHR”) calls on the NA to withhold passing any new legislation until the ongoing political deadlock is resolved and until Members of Parliaments (“MPs”) of both political parties elected during the July 2013 NA elections have taken their seats in the NA. CCHR is concerned that with only Cambodian People’s Party (“CPP”) MPs sitting in the NA, draft laws will not be sufficiently scrutinized and will not represent the will of the people.
