Phnom Penh - The United States will donate 2 million dollars towards a public information board in all Cambodian courts to help both victims and accused criminals understand their legal rights, the US embassy said in a press release Tuesday.
The donation is provided through USAid and managed by East-West Management, will 'help the public gain greater information about the court', the release said.
Cambodia has recently overhauled its penal code, and one of the legacies left from 30 years of civil war and the 1975-79 Khmer Rouge regime is a general public fear and lack of understanding of authorities such as courts and the police.
The Cambodian government itself has also acknowledged that corruption is endemic in the post-war nation, making achieving justice for the millions of Cambodia's poor very difficult.

justice for cambodian people is priceless. thanks the USA for assistance in this area. god bless.
Another $2 mil go down the drain. This is YOUN and China set up to fool the world. But behind the curtains they are pulling the string.
i hope cynical people are not the leaders of cambodia, because if they are we are in deep kimchee. cambodia need optimistic leadership, not pessimistic ones. thank you. remember the world is bigger than your oyster, good habit to practice outside of the box most of the time.
Great, that should help to incarcerate Ah Spam Rainxy for accusing everyone of being Khmer Rouge killers.
This (ignominous)donated amount is a tiny drop into the ocean. Nevertheless, it's a good gesture, to say the least.
All Cambodian must not forget the American carpet bombing in Cambodia until 1975, razing entire villages, killing blindness without distinction men, women and children! They are the worst criminals!

and so on.
That is correct, and Ah Spam Rainxy is accountable for helping the US to kill Khmer.
