“Cambodia’s proposed law could too easily be used to refuse registration or close down organizations that serve the public interest.”
Eight prominent international organizations issued a statement Thursday urging the Cambodian government to drop a controversial law to regulate NGOs, claiming it would hurt development in the country.
“Cambodia’s proposed law could too easily be used to refuse registration or close down organizations that serve the public interest,” Brad Adams, Asia director at Human Rights Watch, said in the statement.
The statement was signed by Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, Forum Asia, Global Witness, the Southeast Asian Press Alliance, Frontline Defenders, Fidh and OMCT.
