A/HRC/15/47 46. In addition, the Office worked with selected companies to encourage them to apply human rights standards beyond merely obeying national law. For instance, it gave legal advice to a multinational rubber company. Prompted partly by this advice, the company conducted an extensive environmental and social impact assessment, including an analysis on how the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples applied to its rubber plantation. The Office contributed to this assessment. Since then the company has been taking measures to mitigate the impact of its plantation on people’s livelihood and land. Other companies have agreed to negotiate solutions with affected villagers, or to exclude the land used by villagers from their concessions. 47. At policy level, the Office continued to draw attention to the need to strengthen the protection of indigenous land. It participated in discussions on “joint monitoring indicators” between the Government and development partners in this regard. Since the adoption of the Sub-Decree on indigenous land registration in April 2009, the Government has taken important steps to legally register communities and facilitate the subsequent registration of their land. The pace of this land registration is however very slow. It is for this reason that the Office recommends that temporary measures be taken to protect those communities until they can effectively receive titles. 48. OHCHR also closely followed the work of NGOs and communities involved in land disputes and sought to defend their rights and seek remedies through cadastral administration and the courts. In most, if not all cases, these institutions failed to uphold their rights and deliver justice. Instead, criminal charges were brought against villagers and human rights defenders. For instance, in the 31 disputes mentioned above, 45 people were arrested and detained. The Office provided advice to the relevant authorities in several instances to ensure due process of law, which resulted in the release of several of the farmers. It supported the documentation of land disputes by communities themselves, which resulted in the submission of a third round of countrywide community complaints to national authorities in August 2009. These collective efforts in 2008 and 2009 have remained unanswered. 49. Together with the Cambodian Center for Human Rights (CCHR) the Office initiated a project to raise awareness among business enterprises and NGOs of their corporate social and human rights responsibilities. In November 2009, it conducted a two-day training course for 30 NGO representatives on human rights and business. It has been supporting the CCHR in conducting workshops with private businesses to raise their awareness about the human rights implications of their activities. This is the first time that such issues have been discussed in Cambodia V. Prison reform 50. The Office continued to implement its Prison Reform Support Programme (PRSP), a partnership with the Ministry of Interior aimed at supporting the transformation of prisons from a system of confinement to one of rehabilitation, complying with the international human rights norms. Support is provided in four areas: (a) legal reform, (b) training of prison personnel, (c) assessment of prison conditions and prisoners’ treatment, and (d) water and sanitation. 51. The programme looked at existing legislation. Prisons have been organized on the basis of a variety of secondary legislation, including a royal decree, governmental subdecrees, ministerial proclamations and circulars, but no law. To address this shortcoming, the Government decided to adopt a Law on Prisons. The Ministry of Interior initiated a draft, which was shared with the Office for legal analysis and comments, so as to build in protection safeguards. In consultation with relevant stakeholders including UNICEF and 12
