Cambodia

Located on the Indochina peninsula in South East Asia, Cambodia’s terrain is dominated by the fertile lands around the Mekong river. The country has benefited from two decades of relative stability in the aftermath of the violent Khmer Rouge regime, under the rule of which an estimated 2 million people were killed. The State has been criticised for permitting impunity for perpetrators of human rights abuses as well as the ongoing practice of arbitrary detention and ill-treatment of vulnerable groups, including children, who use drugs or live and work on the streets.
