A/HRC/42/60/Add.2 Response:  This is because indicators are restricted.  The reason for excluding Amphetamine-type Stimulants and choosing opium/heroines instead is because users of the latter are facing higher risks of bloodtransmitted diseases such as HIV, hepatitis, and so on.  The Ministry of Health has included opium/heroines and Amphetamine-type Stimulants in its Health Strategic Plan 2016-2020 with precise indicators.  The aforesaid remarks made by the Special Rapporteur seem to contradict her note in Paragraph 46 in which she welcomes the Royal Government’s efforts to improve the availability of methadone treatment for opiate users and the prioritisation of community-based treatment and also welcomes the Ministry of Health’s Clinical Guidelines on Minimum Packages of Activities for Health Centres, the training for community-based counsellors and the emphasis on reintegrating the person into their community. This means that the Royal Government, particularly the Ministry of Health focuses its attention on increasing treatment services for all types of drug users set forth in the Clinical Guidelines on Minimum Packages of Activities. Page 13, Paragraph 46 The Special Rapporteur visited the community-based treatment services offered at Meanchey District Referral Hospital and welcomes the Royal Government’s efforts to improve the availability of methadone treatment and the prioritisation of community-based treatment, although notes this is not fully reflected in the CSDGs. Response: The remarks made by the Special Rapporteur contradict her welcome to the Royal Government and the Ministry of Health in which she welcomes the Royal Government’s efforts to improve the availability of methadone treatment and the prioritisation of community-based treatment, which affirms that the Royal Government, particularly the Ministry of Health has fully implemented the Sustainable Development Goals with the aim of covering services globally and strengthening the prevention and treatment of drug-users as indicated in SDG3.5. Ministry of Planning A. General comment: The Ministry of Planning (MOP) has reviewed the report and noticed that the report, while acknowledging the effort of MOP, raised two issues related to MOP, the formulation of CSDGs that some SDG indicators related to the human rights are not included and the limitation of data that does not allow for full identification of those at risk of being left behind. As mandated, MOP wishes to clarify that MOP takes an inter-ministerial coordination role in the process of SDG localization and CSDG formulation. The selection of indicators are based on two criteria: data availability to support the indicator measurements and the discretion of line ministries. Nevertheless, CSDGs can be revised in the future when supporting data become available. B. Specific comments Paragraph 19, last sentence to be changed to: Cambodia has submitted the Voluntary National Review 2019 (VNR 2019) to the UN on time and presented it in the HLPF on 16 July 2019, during which the UN and others countries appreciated and congratulated the RGC for great achievements in CSDG implementation. 10
