| Law on Freedom of Information |
| Released on 2012-05-04 |
| The Cambodian Center for Human Rights (“CCHR”) has classified the proposed Law on Freedom of Information (the “Proposed Law”) yellow, as it contains some positive provisions that promote freedom of information while also, importantly, providing for an independent institution with which ordinary people can file a complaint once their right to freedom of information has been violated. However, the Proposed Law still requires some revision: among other things, in many places it is still vague, meaning that it might be abused or misinterpreted, thereby negatively affecting the right to freedom of
information in the Kingdom of Cambodia (“Cambodia”). |
