8.
Judicial independence and reform (recommendations No. 110.119 and 110.121)
16.
The executive branch does not interfere in the works of judges and prosecutors. The
executive body has duties to take necessary measures to ensure effective law enforcement.
The three laws have determined and ensured independence of the Court especially of the
judges and prosecutors. In principle, promulgated laws require review and amendment once
there exist obstacles and difficulties in the implementation process and these three laws are
not exception.
17.
The judicial reform is not subject to perfection or immediate completion. It demands
constant improvements from shortcomings that may arise from the implementation process.
9.
Election in Cambodia (recommendation No. 110.137)
18.
The Constitution provides a multi-party liberal democratic political system. Since
1993, many political parties have contested in the elections organized by the National
Election Committee with the financial and technical supports from the EU and other
friendly nations, most especially Japan.
19.
With political maturity, Cambodian people understand very well about the
importance of the elections. The high turnout rate of 83.02% at the national election in 2018
with 20 contested parties reaffirmed such understanding.
10.
Children in armed conflict (recommendation No. 110.188)
20.
The Kingdom of Cambodia put a complete end to all armed conflicts and wars at the
end of 1998 through the Win-Win Policy of Samdech Akka Moha Sena Padei Techo
Hun Sen, Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Cambodia. Currently, Cambodia is free from
wars and has embraced full-fledged development in all fields under the umbrella of peace
and political stability. Therefore, the involvement of children in armed conflict is virtually
non-existent. Such act is also prohibited by Cambodian laws. Cambodian children is
receiving the rightful attention from the government in attaining their fundamental rights
including, among others, rights to life, rights to receive protection and rights to education.
