A/HRC/42/31 reduced in comparison to the global goal. 9 The Government is currently drafting the national strategic development plan, which, together with the Rectangular Strategy Phase IV and the Cambodian Sustainable Development Goals, will form the Government’s overall development strategy. 42. On 7 February 2019, the Ministry of Land Management, Urban Planning and Construction published its annual report on land registration. According to the report, from its inception until December 2018, the Ministry issued 5,127,819 land titles, or 73.25 per cent of the approximately 7 million land parcels, exceeding by 3.25 per cent its 2014–2018 target. According to the same report, in 2018, the Cadastral Commission received 544 land dispute cases and resolved 292, involving 1,512 families and a land area of 243.96 hectares; 176 cases were dismissed when they were found to be outside the mandate of the Commission and 47 complaints were withdrawn. The Ministry established several land dispute resolution ad hoc working groups. According to its 2018 annual report, in 2018, the Ministry received 571 cases, of which 125 were addressed by the Ministry’s working groups; 52 were resolved by the end of the year and 73 received a written response or were referred to another responsible authority. 43. Through its economic and social rights programme, OHCHR continued to work on issues relating to the rights to adequate housing and to an adequate standard of living, the prevention of forced evictions and promotion of security of tenure, and a better understanding of the role of business in respecting human rights. 44. In October and November 2018, OHCHR, in partnership with provincial authorities and local non-governmental organizations, organized two workshops, in Kampot and Kratie, on land and housing rights, focusing on evictions and relocation procedures and on the responsibilities of business enterprises in this context. 45. As part of resettlement processes or in order to provide land to the landless poor and veterans, the Government has been issuing social land concessions to individuals and families. OHCHR used its study, published in May 2018, titled “Assessing the impact of social land concessions on rural livelihoods”, as a basis for its advocacy with relevant national and local authorities for the improvement of existing concessions and ahead of the establishment of new ones in Kampong Thom, Mondulkiri, Kampot, Tbong Khmum and Battambang Provinces. 46. As part of this advocacy work, OHCHR organized official site visits, in September and December 2018, to two of the concession sites included in the study, Memot in Tbong Khmum and Boeung Lvea in Kampong Thom. The visits allowed officials from the Government, provincial and local authorities, civil society organizations and development partners the opportunity to learn about good and bad practices at concession sites directly from the villagers concerned; the participants committed to improvements to the sites. 47. OHCHR continued to work with the Ministry of Land Management, Urban Planning and Construction, the Ministry of Rural Development, the Ministry of Interior, local authorities and civil society organizations to support efforts by indigenous peoples to secure collective land titles and to advocate for the simplification of the collective titling process. One indigenous community in Ratanakiri and three Koui indigenous communities in Kampong Thom completed the first of three steps in securing title by having their indigenous identity certified. In June 2018, with OHCHR support, a Bunong indigenous community in Koh Nheak District, Mondulkiri Province, completed the second step of the titling process by being registered as a legal entity. In addition, a Bunong indigenous community in Snoul District, Kratie Province, advanced in the second step of the titling process by officially adopting their community by-laws in April 2018. 48. With support from OHCHR, officials at the provincial, district and commune levels increased their capacity to process title applications. The understanding of this process was enhanced among the indigenous peoples’ communities.
