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.
