The Cambodian Center for Human Rights (CCHR) today releases the first "fact sheet" in its "Institution" series for 2012. In the run up to the Senate elections due to be held on 29 January 2012, this fact sheet aims to provide an overview of the Senate, assess its effectiveness and suggest ways in which it could be improved. In particular, the fact sheet draws attention to the manner in which members of the Senate are elected and calls for reform in the senate selection process in the form of a system that allows candidates to stand independently, regardless of their political affiliations, and to be elected directly by the people. Please see the attached fact sheet in Khmer and English. The fact sheet will soon be available on CCHR's website at: CCHR Fact Sheets.
We hope that you find the fact sheet useful and interesting. Should you wish to discuss the fact sheet or any of the issues it raises further, please do not hesitate to contact Ou Virak (tel: +855 (0)1240 4051 or email: ouvirak@cchrcambodia.org) or Sana Ghouse (tel: +855 (0)8961 4334 or email sana.ghouse@cchrcambodia.org).
Kind regards,
CCHR
