A/HRC/33/62 for Rural Development (now Minister for Land Management, Urban Planning and Construction) and the Governor of Stung Treng. 43. There are a number of ongoing housing issues beyond those outlined on resettlement. The Government has benefited from the recommendations made by the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (see E/C.12/KHM//CO/1, paras. 2930) and the Special Rapporteur on adequate housing as a component of the right to an adequate standard of living (see E/CN.4/2006/41/Add.3, para. 82). These recommendations also build towards Sustainable Development Goal 11. The adequacy of housing remains problematic, particularly in the case of housing for persons with a lower income. 13 The Special Rapporteur is aware that the large-scale movement of workers to be near places of employment (for example, construction zones or garment factories) puts particular pressure on the availability of affordable, quality housing. For this reason, ensuring that existing laws and policies guaranteeing the availability of adequate housing and that workers have an adequate standard of living are implemented is especially important. VII. Administration of justice 44. During both missions, the Ministry of Justice outlined to the Special Rapporteur the reforms currently under way. The Special Rapporteur acknowledges the amount of work required to implement the changes needed to reform administration of justice to bring it into compliance with treaties, including the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (see A/HRC/15/46 and A/HRC/26/16, paras. 118.79-90). The Ministry of Justice has continued its efforts to implement the three fundamental laws on the judiciary adopted in 2014, focusing its attention on the law on the organization and functioning of the courts. While the Ministry of Justice is currently engaged in certain areas of reform, there is mounting pressure for more immediate and apparent results from the reform process. 45. The independence of the judiciary, both actual and apparent, remains a concern (see CCPR/C/KHM/CO/2, paras. 19-20 and CAT/C/KHM/CO/2, para. 13). At present, the judiciary is widely considered to be closely affiliated with the executive and legislature, despite the provisions of articles 51 and 128 of the Constitution. There have been a number of instances of senior government ministers commenting publicly on matters still under investigation or sub judice. Most recently, in April and May 2016, several government departments issued statements calling for the investigation and prosecution of specified civil society actors and United Nations officials. Such actions undermine public perception of the independence of the judiciary with regard to the executive. A strong and independent judiciary able to administer justice in a fair and transparent manner is imperative. Sustainable Development Goal 16.6 requires effective, accountable and transparent institutions. 46. The previous mandate holder made a number of recommendations for developing and strengthening the independence of the judiciary (see A/HRC/15/46), many of which have yet to be addressed. The Special Rapporteur commends those recommendations to the Government once more for detailed consideration and implementation as part of its reform agenda. 47. Challenges remain in determining statistical information on cases. For this reason, the Government should consider establishing a system for systematically recording and reporting cases, building on its evolving case registration and management system. 13 14 See general comment No. 4 (1991) of the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, para. 8.
