between the RGC and the UN agencies as well as CSOs on this subject. There is no clarity between the UNGP BHR and other UN human rights instruments that relate to obligations of the Cambodian government through its legal instruments including the Constitution, legislation, the judiciary, and executive regulation. The Government is pushing for a seven (7) percent economic growth, while land and natural resource rights holders do not have sufficient protection under the legal system. Thus, there is a need for clearly defined, common efforts between the CHRC and CSOs in order to move forward. The UNGP BHR call for the government to respect, protect, and ensure effective remedies for those affected by business activity. The question is how? And if there is no respect, no protection, and no satisfactory remedy, what is going to happen? The status of the UNGP BHR in Cambodia is quite vague. There are no new pronouncements coming from CSOs or from the Cambodian Human Rights Committee. Recommendations by CSOs r There is a need for awareness raising activities on BHR for government officials, NGO staff, and other actors who are working on protection and promotion of human rights in Cambodia. The awareness raising campaign was endorsed by a workshop last 20 November 2018 that included participants from the CHRC, NGOs, and communities. r There should be a comprehensive, independent study on Cambodia’s obligations under the UNGP BHR. The study should also develop an implementation framework on how the RGC should fulfill these obligations. The study may solicit more information from consultation processes among actors in the RGC and CSOs as well as UN agencies. r There should be a structure or body at the national level for coordinating the conversation and all work related to forming an independent NHRI in Cambodia. n ANGOC and KPA 41
