PHNOM PENH (22 August 2014) –The latest report of the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the human rights situation in Cambodia, Professor Surya P. Subedi, has been publicly released by the United Nations Secretariat in Geneva*. The report covers the period from 1 July 2013 to 24 July 2014, during which, according to the Special Rapporteur, "Cambodia witnessed major political events". The report focuses on the possibility establishing an independent national human rights institution that reflects the UN Principles relating to the status of national institutions for the promotion and protection of human rights (the Paris Principles) and on the implementation of the recommendations contained in his previous four reports dealing with judicial, parliamentary, electoral and land reform in Cambodia. The Special Rapporteur focused his last two missions to the country in January and in June 2014 on those two objectives, while continuing to monitor the overall situation of human rights in Cambodia.
