A United Nations envoy investigating Cambodia's judicial system said Thursday that there are too many detainees and miscarriages of justice.
U.N. special rapporteur Surya Subedi called on the government to "introduce appropriate measures to enhance the independence and capacity of the judiciary ... to (provide) justice to all in Cambodia."
Subedi statement came at the end of a 10-day fact-finding mission. He is expected to submit a report with recommendations for judicial reform to the U.N. Human Rights Council in Geneva in September.
