During the interactive dialogue at the Human Rights Council’s thirty-sixth session, many States requested the Special Rapporteur pay particular attention to the human rights impact of the political situation ahead of the national elections. As the annual report to the Council was submitted before the election held on 29 July 2018, this addendum seeks to analyse the human rights situation in Cambodia during the electoral period, as well as the impact of the elections thereon. This addendum includes information up to 15 August 2018, when the final results were announced. Many of the concerns related to legislation and individual cases have previously been raised with the Royal Government of Cambodia in communications. A draft of this addendum was shared with the Government on 20 August. This addendum includes information on specific cases and alleged violations of human rights received by the Special Rapporteur. Some names and other personal identifying details have been withheld where divulging them may place the source at risk: details have only been included with the explicit informed oral consent of the source. Only information considered reliable and credible has been included.

DOMON (Genetic Resources Center, NARO) Received May 15, 2016, Accepted June 28, 2016 Corresponding author: Y. TANAKA (e-mail : [email protected]) Summary The National Agriculture and Food Research Organization and Cambodian Agricultural Research and Development Institute have collaborated since 2014 under the Plant Genetic Resource in Asia project in order to survey the genetic resources of vegetables in Cambodia. As a part of the project, the second collaborative field survey for solanaceous crops was conducted in Cambodia, from November 10th to 18th, 2015, in eastern Cambodia. The main targets of the survey were chili peppers and eggplants. We conducted surveys in the provinces of Prey Veng, Tboung Khmum, Kratie, Mondolkiri, Ratanakiri, and Stung Treng and collected 87 solanaceous accessions, including 74 chili peppers (28 Capsicum annuum L. and 46 Capsicum frutescens L.) and 13 eggplants (Solanum spp.). The sample for one of C. frutescens accessions was accidentally lost, so it was deleted from the collection list. The collected seeds were divided equally, with half deposited in the Cambodian Agricultural Research and Development Institute gene bank and the other half transferred to the National Agriculture and Food Research Organization gene bank.

  • Decentralised Solid Waste Management in Kampot
    Decentralised Solid Waste Management in Kampot Towards a realistic, sustainable, feasible and implementable solid waste management system in Kampot Background Kampot Province is located on the south-west coast of Cambodia. It is almost 5,000km2 and comprises of 7 districts and 1 municipality (Kampot City). To- gether the 7 districts are made of 88 communes while Krong Kampot (the city) further constitutes of 5 sangkats (totalling 93). Source: http://www.opendevelopmentcambodia.net/maps/ The last population census in 2008 found that Kampot Province supported nearly 600,000 people, while Kampot Municipality had a population of approximately 40,000. 86% of the population in the Province are employed in the primary sec- tor, 3% in the secondary sector and 11% in the tertiary sector. In the Municipal- ity; 30% are employed in the primary sector, 14% in the secondary and 56% in 13-11-14_Kampot Workshop preparation draftGR2,DS.docx 1 / 15 the tertiary sector (Census, 2008). The main resources at the municipal level include tourism, coastal development and some industrial activity. Kampot City is well-known for its recent achievements in striving towards a sus- tainable and green city. It has been the chosen location for several ambitious pilot projects centring on recycling, composting, source waste management and awareness-raising of best environmental practice. However, there is an apparent lack of clear roles and responsibilities with regard to the management of solid waste between the provincial, municipal, district and sangkat/commune administrations. Furthermore, the coverage of waste collec- tion is lacking; informal roadside open dumpsites and illegal dumping into rivers are both a prevailing norm, as is ‘informal’ waste collection.
