Publication : Press Release

Dear Samdach Vibol Sena Pheakdey Say Chhum, I am writing to you regarding the proposed Law on Association and Non-Governmental​ Organizations (“LANGO”) that will be discussed and voted by the Senate later this week. I wish to reiterate my grave concern and urge you to recommend substantive amendments to the law or to vote for its rejection. If approved and then promulgated, this LANGO will lead to serious restrictions of the rights to the freedoms of association, expression and assembly and to the right to participate in public life, in clear contravention of the Cambodian Constitution, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and other relevant international instruments.
