German Foundation to launch “The Development of Cambodian Administrative Law”

1 May 2014

Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung (KAS) in Cambodia will launch a book on “The Development of Cambodian Administrative Law” on 7 May 2014 at 05:30pm at Raffles Hotel Le Royal.

Administrative law is important because it provides principles and rules for the interaction between government and individuals, which determines every aspect of life from the issuance of a birth certificate, a business license, or the provision of a pension. There are three more reasons, why the institutional and legal development of Administrative Law is important for Cambodia: First, the 1994 Constitution and successive polices call for the development and implementation of a comprehensive administrative law system, such as effective complaints against administrative measures, compensation, and independent judicial review of government actions. Second, the general public increasingly demands principles as a yardstick for government action such as proportionality and strict rules governing the use of force. Third, the public servants themselves, being under increased scrutiny, need and deserve clear regulations in order to be able to comply with their various obligations.

In Part 2 Cambodian legal experts provide some selected analysis on important topics in Cambodian administrative law. Part 3, finally, introduces an international comparative perspective with case studies from France, Japan, and Estonia as well as a general overview on East and Southeast Asia.
