The support for the development of the legal system in Cambodia has been one of the main priorities of the work of Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung in Cambodia for many years. One of the essential elements of such a process is a flourishing discussion between different generations and experts on legal topics. Such discussion has been difficult in Cambodia for many years due to its historical legacy and the legal vacuum during and in the aftermath of the Khmer Rouge regime. Legal discourse is therefore still not well developed in Cambodia today. It seems particularly important to cultivate a culture of legal discussion in the spirit of academic freedom, and the Law Talks were designed as one element of such support.
The Law Talks started in 2008, initially in formal cooperation mainly with the Senate, now, also with various law faculties. To date, nine law talks have been held.

For the 10th Law Talk
event and the 20th anniversary of the Cambodian Constitution, KAS
selected the topic “20
years of Cambodian Constitution – Moving towards the implementation of
constitutional law?”

| Senior Minister Ieng Mouly in charge of special mission, Chairman of the National Aids Authority giving the keynote address, "The Making of the Cambodian Constitution" |
The present Constitution of the Kingdom of Cambodia is the sixth and latest version.
It was adopted by the Constituent Assembly of representatives of the Cambodian
People and promulgated by Norodom Sihanouk on 24 September 1993. It has since been
amended seven times up until 2010. The constitution reflects modern
constitutional characteristics – democracy, human rights and the rule of law;
embedded in a constitutional monarchy system of parliamentary government guided
by a strict separation of power.

| Prince NORODOM Sirivudh, member of Constitutional Council, posing a very pointed (in his gentle way) question on certain Constitutional provisions re the king which have not been enacted. |
The Law Talk does not aim to provide
a comprehensive analysis of the current status of the implementation of
Cambodian Constitutional Law but rather to discuss the status of certain constitutional
rights under the current system of the separation of powers and checks and
balances in Cambodia and to put the Constitution and its implementation in the
regional and international perspective.

| Senator Mardi Seng |
Objective of the Law Talk
- Promote increased understanding on the Cambodian Constitution and its implementation
- Promote a better understanding
on the current status of constitutional law reform in Cambodia

Sirivudh Norodom, is one of the 9 CoC, the so called Council of Constitution. These 9 are a bunch of idiots. They pride in talking about Constitutions but have zero education.
pathetic attention-seeking for Theary Seng's personal gain.
Talk, Talk, and Talk, but produce nothing. Waste money and time.
