In a report to the UN Secretary-General release, the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights in Phnom Penh (OHCHR) expressed its concern over “shrinking civic space and continued political tension” in Cambodia over the last year, with the COVID-19 pandemic having played a large role.
