UN Human Rights is advocating for the simplification of the collective land titling process in Cambodia by suggesting amendments to the current legal provisions governing the collective land titling registration, which enable the productive participation of indigenous peoples in the process. The suggested reforms ensure cost effectiveness and propose reasonable and less cumbersome steps for indigenous communities to obtain a collective land title.
