F M

The Asian Forum for Human Rights and Development (FORUM-ASIA), together with its member organizations, the Cambodian Human Rights and Development Association (ADHOC) and the Cambodian League for the Promotion and Defense of Human Rights (LICADHO), wish to draw the Human Rights Council's attention to the Cambodian government's severe lack of commitment to and fulfillment of its human rights obligations.

This paper covers warning signs of abuses prior to upcoming elections, repressive new laws and lack of meaningful legal and judicial reforms, forced evictions, and lack of transparency, independence and competence in the judicial system.
