Since the last CG meeting the government has made notable progress, highlighted by the following achievements:
  • Article 51 of the Law on Civil Servants (1994) was amended in August 1999 so as to eliminate the need for prosecutors to seek prior authorization from the Council of Ministers or relevant Ministry before bringing charges against a civil servant. Whilst the wording of the article remains ambiguous, this amendment represents a significant step towards promoting account- ability.
  • The RGC ratified the Mine Ban Treaty on July 28, 1999 after passing national land mine legislation in May 1999.
  • There has been ongoing consultation between the government, NGOs and the private sector with regards to a revised land law. 
  • Cambodia was formally admitted into ASEAN in April 1999.
  • The RGC is currently in the process of drafting much needed legislation such as a forest law, anti-corruption legislation and commercial and civil codes.
  • NGOs commend the government's efforts to reform the forestry sector, and acknowledge the government initiated campaign to curtail illegal logging.
