A/HRC/41/17/Add.1 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. 4
