Cambodia’s Permanent Mission to the United Nations in Geneva released a document titled “Cambodia Human Rights Situation II” to provide “factual and legal clarifications” for its actions “to shield law-abiding citizens” against dissidents.
Sar Kheng said the idea had merit and was in accord with the safe village-commune policy.
Berger raised the idea while meeting with Sar Kheng on February 3 to discuss decentralisation and deconcentration in Cambodia as a follow-up to the minister’s 2019 tour in Germany to observe German practices in these areas.
Berger told Sar Kheng that Germany was willing to support Cambodia in enacting a commune police-community relations project, according to a statement by the ministry.
He said the project would strengthen the commune police’s ability to perform their duties and improve the communication dynamic between police and citizens as well as encourage civic participation.
Rhona Smith, the departing UN Special Rapporteur for Human Rights in Cambodia, has revealed three potential candidates to fill her position, while government officials expect Smith’s successor to follow her path and work professionally.
Phnom Penh municipal governor Khuong Sreng held the first meeting of the year with heads of armed forces in the capital to review and repair the deficiencies related to gun control, drug crimes, social order disruptions due to alcohol consumption and traffic law enforcement.
