A/HRC/27/43 arbitrarily detained by the authorities, OHCHR sought the release of detainees or access to legal representation and medical care, as needed. 17. Third, OHCHR also continued to promote the right to freedom of peaceful assembly through a range of capacity-building activities. The main activity has been the training of civil society on the Law on Peaceful Demonstration, based on the “Implementation Guide to the Law on Peaceful Demonstration”,1 which the Ministry of Interior and OHCHR had jointly drafted in 2010. A variety of training sessions on the law were delivered to NGO staff, trade union activists, environmental activists, lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender rights activists, and journalists working on issues relating to freedom of expression and assembly. In addition, OHCHR organized a one-day training session entitled “Methodology for Monitoring the Right to Peaceful Assembly” in September 2013. 18. OHCHR published an information leaflet which sets out the basic procedural requirements for demonstration organizers and the obligations of the provincial/municipal authorities under the Law on Peaceful Demonstration. The leaflet is a single-page, folding document, designed to fit into a pocket, which demonstration organizers, monitors, and members of the authorities could carry on them. In March 2014, OHCHR began disseminating the leaflet, in English and Khmer, to civil society organizations nationwide. A total of 4,000 copies were circulated by the end of the reporting period. 19. Fourth, OHCHR fulfilled its protection mandate to human rights defenders by monitoring individual cases as they arose and advocating with the relevant authorities to respect the rights of those concerned. In this connection, OHCHR continued to monitor the use of the criminal justice system to penalize the exercise of fundamental freedoms and to punish human rights defenders for legitimate work undertaken for the promotion and protection of human rights. OHCHR observed the increased resort to criminal charges against human rights defenders — most notably union activists on the basis of incitement to violence — towards the end of the reporting period. The particularly high-profile cases against 25 individuals prosecuted in relation to protests in November and January were closely followed by OHCHR, along with many national and international observers, which eventually concluded with convictions with suspended sentences. 20. Fifth, OHCHR continued to monitor legislative developments that could impact on human rights. OHCHR consistently called on the relevant ministries and the Parliament to publicly release draft laws and to integrate consultations with stakeholders into the lawmaking process. A draft cybercrimes law with the potential to restrict freedom of expression on the Internet was reportedly revived for enactment; there is no official information as to the status of this draft law. Similar levels of uncertainty prevail as to the existence of a fifth version of the draft law on associations and NGOs. In May 2014, the Office observed a tripartite consultation hosted by the Minister of Labour on the draft trade union law with support from the International Labour Organization (ILO). While the most recent version of the draft law was shared at that consultation, the suggestions of independent external expertise, including from ILO, were reflected therein. 21. Finally, OHCHR continued to promote public awareness of fundamental freedoms. In 2013, it launched a radio show series designed to raise awareness and understanding of the rights to freedom of expression, association and assembly, in partnership with the Cambodian Center for Independent Media. 1 6 Available from http://cambodia.ohchr.org/EN/PagesFiles/The_right_peaceful_assembly.htm.
