Development

There is still a denial for human rights to about one-fifth of the population of Cambodia. This percentage has decreased over time, but is still an issue, and the actions trying to overcome this has been unsteady. Violence is still very common along the streets of Cambodia (fights, robberies, gangs etc.) This country has developed peace, and is now trying to keep that peace consistent.


Important events:

-1975-1979: A communist party called the "Khmer Rouge" was responsible for many war crimes, genocide, and other crimes against humanity that killed about 25% of the population.
-----
-1977: War breaks out with Vietnam.
-----

-1993: Equal rights for men and women. Government: multi-party liberal democracy under constitutional monarchy.

Backround

In the last 30 years the Cambodia has experienced one of the worst human right cases in modern history. Human rights is still denied to about 20% of the population that is not apart of the Khmer ethnic group by Cambodian law. A lot more people are getting to have their rights then in the past, but the issue is still affecting a good amount of the Cambodian population. Human rights trouble has left a big impact on how the country is like today.
