In December, he focused on access to justice and land rights, and visited Ratanakiri Province. In Phnom Penh, Mr. Ghai held discussions with the President of the Cambodian Bar Association as well as senior court staff at the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia. He also visited eviction sites and participated in the celebrations of Human Rights Day in central Phnom Penh. Regrettably, no government officials were available to see the Special Representative during his fourth mission, in spite of the advance notice of his mission. During both visits, Mr. Ghai’s programme included discussions with representatives of NGOs, trade unions, political parties and the diplomatic corps, as well as the United Nations Country Team. III.
