		Flagrant violations of human rights by state agents have been identified but prosecutions have been rare and impunity prevails.
		These institutions and local and international human rights groups have documented a wide range of human rights violations, with limited results, in terms of reform and redress.
		Other serious and persistent human rights problems include political murder and abuse of labor leaders and opposition politicians, land confiscations, arbitrary arrest and detention, torture, bonded and forced child labor, trafficking in women and children, discrimination and domestic violence against women, and abuse of children.

	Human rights - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		These rights commonly include the right to life, the right to an adequate standard of living, freedom from torture and other mistreatment, freedom of religion and of expression, freedom of movement, the right to self-determination, the right to education, and the right to participation in cultural and political life.
		Human rights are typically divided into two categories: negative human rights (rights to be free from) and positive human rights (rights to), although other categorizations exist.
		Rights may also be non-derogable (not limited in times of national emergency); these often include the right to life, the right to be prosecuted only according to the laws that are in existence at the time of the offense, the right to be free from slavery, and the right to be free from torture.

	Kingdom of Cambodia: Human rights at stake
		Human rights and security go hand in hand; many Cambodians no longer feel secure enough to exercise their rights to freedom of expression, association and assembly.
		Much of the human rights progress made in the country since the signing of United Nations-sponsored peace agreements of 1991 has been eroded over the last four and a half years, and there is institutionalized impunity for those suspected of involvement in human rights violations.
		Cambodia's judicial system is weak and corrupt, and in spite of constitutional guarantees of independence, has yet to prove that it operates independently of political priorities.

		The Centre for Human Rights should continue to work with the Khmer Journalists' Association and with the Cambodian Communication Institute and UNESCO and offer assistance to the League of Cambodian Journalists, concerning the improvement of standards and the safeguarding of the independence of the media and of journalists' organizations in Cambodia.

	Cambodia
		Human rights groups continued to report that the Government demonstrated its control of the courts by ordering the rearrest of suspects released by the courts or through extrajudicial processes.
		Human rights organizations reported that some local authorities warned members of certain political parties that if they continued to support those parties they would face a loss of residency rights, confiscation of property, and a ban on using local infrastructure.
		The Government generally cooperated with human rights workers in performing their investigations; however, during the year, there were several reports of poor cooperation or intimidation by local authorities throughout the country.

	LICADHO, A Cambodian Human Rights NGO - Cambodia
		Cambodia is a primarily agricultural country in which people depend on farming and fishing for their livelihood.
		However, the human rights environment in Cambodia remains precarious, with the issues of land grabbing and a clampdown of freedom of expression of particular concern.
		However, ongoing human rights abuses and the recent escalation of issues such as land grabbing and the persecution of opposition voices continue to undermine the hard-won advances.

	Kingdom of Cambodia: Human rights and the new constitution
		However, Amnesty International is concerned that the provisions made for the safeguarding of human rights under the Constitution, which was not subject to public scrutiny or debate prior to its promulgation, are inadequate for effectively protecting some fundamental rights and freedoms of significant sections of the population.
		If the judicial system in the Kingdom of Cambodia is to meet the standards required of it by the new Constitution, in accordance with the provisions of international human rights instruments, then a comprehensive education and training programme of personnel in the police, prison service and the judiciary is essential.
		However, it is unrealistic to expect that Cambodia's judicial and police structures will be able immediately to perform to the high standards required of them without substantial help from the international community, in the form of training and assistance with human rights monitoring and reporting procedures.

	Intro to Human Rights in Cambodia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Cambodian law still explicitly denies many rights to the twenty percent of the population that is not of the majority Khmer ethnic group.
		Torture is commonplace in police custody, prison conditions remain mostly substandard, and regular reports of extrajudicial execution by authorities and their cooperation with "mob justice" continue to accumulate; mob justice has been growing because the people believe the courts are corrupt, and the police seem to agree.
		Perhaps the most glaring and emblematic of human rights issues in Cambodia is the fact that after perpetrating one of the worst genocides in history, not a single leader of the Khmer Rouge movement has ever been brought before a court of law to answer for those crimes.

	Cambodia: Thomas Hammarberg Report on Human Rights
		Since the meeting of the Commission on Human Rights in April 1997, the General Assembly adopted resolution 52/135 on the situation of human rights in Cambodia in which it requested the Secretary-General, through his Special Representative, to assist the Government of Cambodia in ensuring the protection of the human rights of all people in Cambodia.
		The Assembly expressed grave concern about the serious violations of human rights during the armed violence of early July 1997 and its aftermath and urged the Government of Cambodia as a high priority to investigate thoroughly and impartially and to bring to justice those responsible for such serious crimes.
		The right to education, the right to health, particularly reproductive health, violence against women, and women's participation in political life were identified as areas of priority concern.
