    Juvenile Justice: Pre-trial Detention and Sentencing in the Cambodian Justice System

    "This International Children’s Day, the Cambodian Center for Human Rights (“CCHR”) would like to draw attention to the rights of juvenile accused to a fair trial.

I believe with a coopera approach with government, working in partnership with donors, NGOs and private organizations Cambodia can develop an effective juvenile justice process that ensures that young persons who break the law receive adequate support to become constructive members of society"
