    The applicable international instruments and mechanisms for the protection of human rights defenders in Cambodia
    (Riga Graduate School of Law, 2018) Lim, Borin; Ulrich, George; Riga Graduate School of Law
    The human rights defenders' situation in Cambodia is still extremely concerning; human rights defenders (HRDs) frequently face physical attacks, legal harassment, intimidation, arbitrary arrests, torture, and security threats due to their legitimate activities to promote and protect human rights and fundamental freedoms in Cambodia. Mostly, the perpetrators of human rights violations are powerful people, rich companies or government bodies, etc. The national judicial system has proven to be not independent or impartial when addressing human rights defenders' cases. Therefore, human rights defenders need further protections from other international instruments and mechanisms, which are applicable to the Cambodian context. The purpose of this thesis is to analyze the applicable international instruments and mechanisms for the protection of human rights defenders in Cambodia.

    The problem of statelessness in Cambodia
    (Riga Graduate School of Law, 2018) Phom, Ravy; Ziemele, Ineta; Riga Graduate School of Law
    Statelessness has become an issue of concern to the international community since after the World War I. An estimated 15 million people are refused citizenship around the world. Statelessness occurs due to many reasons, such as gaps in nationality laws, the moving of people from their own birth country, a child born in a foreign country, the emergence of new states and changes in borders or statelessness because a person’s nationality is lost or removed. Stateless people are unable to enjoy several of their fundamental rights including access to education, access to healthcare services, to acquire a job, the freedom of movement (traveling) and other civil and political rights such as a right to vote or right to political participation. Statelessness is a primary factor in human rights violations, civil conflict, and the national security of the state in parts of the world. Statelessness occurs in many regions around the world, including Africa, Europe, Latin America & the Caribbean, and the Middle East. Statelessness appears in the Southeast Asia region, including Cambodia. This paper will cover the problem of statelessness in Cambodia.
