SURYA Subedi, the UN’s special rapporteur for human rights in Cambodia, will arrive in the country Tuesday for a 10-day trip, during which he will assess the state of the country’s judicial system, UN officials said.
“I will focus my mission to Cambodia on the functioning of the judiciary as part of my ongoing assessment of institutions critical to the promotion and protection of human rights, with a view to assessing the extent to which it is accessible to ordinary Cambodians and delivers justice,”
Subedi said in a statement issued Friday by the local office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights.
