The UN Human Rights Special Envoy for Cambodia is making his third visit to the country.
Surya Subedi plans to look at the country's judicial system, which has long faced allegations of corruption and political interference.
A pressure group says that defendants are often denied their basic rights.
Last year, Professor Subedi said that bringing criminal charges against critics of the government was "disproportionate and unjustifiable".
The visit comes a week after the Supreme Court found a prominent opposition figure guilty of defaming Prime Minister Hun Sen.
