U.N. special rapporteur to make second visit to Cambodia

PHNOM PENH, Jan. 16 (Xinhua) -- A special rapporteur of the United Nations is planned to make his second visit to Cambodia next week, according to the Office of the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) on Saturday.
In a statement released on Saturday, the OHCHR said Surya Prasad Subedi (picture), the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Cambodia, will visit Cambodia on Jan. 18-30.
This is his second mission to Cambodia. "He intends to use the visit to examine the functioning of the National Assembly and judiciary, including the Supreme Council of Magistracy and the Constitutional Council," the statement said.
His objective is to conduct an analysis of how these institutions work, and the extent to which they provide citizens recourse and remedy for breaches of their rights.
