Cambodia

Cambodia is a constitutional monarchy with a parliamentary government
  • however, having banned the main opposition party in 2017, the ruling Cambodian People’s Party won all 125 National Assembly seats in the 2018 national election, turning the country into a de facto one-party state with a government that regularly acts in an authoritarian manner. The prime minister remained in office since 1985. International observers, including foreign governments and international and domestic nongovernmental organizations, criticized the election as neither free nor fair and not representative of the will of the people. There were reports that members of the security forces committed abuses. The government did not take credible steps or action to identify and punish officials who may have committed human rights abuses.

The overall score indicates that there are severe risks of potential human rights violations in this country. This may also include the tourism sector. Relevant risks for the tourism sector are, e.g.:
  • Significant and systemic restrictions on workers' freedom of association
  • Extensive gender-based violence
  • Trafficking in persons
  • Existence of worst forms of child labor
  • Sexual exploitation of children

For better comparability, we have converted the original scores of the indices to a uniform scale of 1-100 (1 most negative, 100 most positive).

In the following table you find these recalculated values and the original score in brackets behind them.

The Overall Score is the geometric mean of all converted values for each country. It is subcategorized in five risk categories with colour gradations that can be seen in the map.
