    Off the Streets

    In Cambodia, those tasked with upholding the law are often those who inflict some of the worst abuse. Sex workers in particular know this to be true. Women and girls involved in sex work face beatings, rape, sexual harassment, extortion, arbitrary arrest and detention, forced labor, and other cruel and degrading treatment at the hands of police, public park security guards, government officials, and those working in the centers and offices run by the Ministry of Social Affairs, Veterans, and Youth Rehabilitation (MOSAVY).

  • Fair Trial Rights in Cambodia

    Fair Trial Rights in Cambodia

    The Constitution of the Kingdom of Cambodia entrusts the Judiciary with the responsibility of upholding impartiality and protecting the rights and freedoms of Khmer citizens. This includes a duty to ensure that every citizen who is accused of a crime receives a fair trial. A fair trial is essential, not only to protect the human rights of the accused and those of victims, but also to ensure the proper administration of justice, and to engender public trust and respect for the Judiciary as an independent and impartial guardian of the rights of Khmer citizens. This Report sets out Cambodian and international law relating to the right to a fair trial. It presents data collected from the monitoring of 199 trials at Phnom Penh Capital Court and Kandal Court of First Instance between August 10 and December 31, 2009. Finally, it provides analysis of this data and sets out a series of recommendations to improve adherence to fair trial rights at the Court monitored.
