The purpose was two-fold: i) Starting up a series of sensitizing seminars, produce newsletters and invite a senior police consultant from the region to engage in police reform debates, and ii) creating a planning base in order to prepare for a coming strategic planning project aiming at police reform. The pilot project ran over a period of two years. The formal partnership was entered with Asia Human Rights Commission, Hong Kong, while informal cooperation with the local NGO, Cambodia Defenders Project, intensified during the same period. In addition to the scheduled project activities, DCHR arranged a democracy visit to Denmark in 1999 for participants from the Ministry of Interior, the police and NGOs in Cambodia. The visit programme centred around police institutions in a democratic context. A Danish Human Rights Officer initially stationed at the Cambodia Defenders Project was after the democracy visit invited to stay a the police training department in the Ministry of Interior. Furthermore, a number of NGO activists have participated in the biannually human rights training courses at DCHR. The two reports composing this publication are the results of the pilot project. The Police in Cambodia is written by Kristine Yigen, the Human Rights Officer stationed for nine months in Cambodia. The report forms along with other written and collected documents the planning base prepared during the project period. The report is rich on data and information about the police related legislation and police organisations in Cambodia and adds an analytic perspective by holding up the Constitution of Cambodia, 1993, and relevant international human rights standards to the present situation. The second report is written by the external consultant, Susanne Ringgaard Pedersen. On the basis of the conclusions of the pilot project, a review was conducted to evaluate the relevance of the pilot phase. In addition to this review, a set of recommendations for the coming engagement in police reform is suggested by the consultant. Furthermore, the report reviews the relevance of a second project phase in relation to the acute human rights needs in Cambodia. While the review/assessment report compliments the pilot phase and all those involved at various levels, a number of improvements and recommendations are suggested.
