Official United Nations’ Human Rights Council Broadcast

Wednesday, 8 May 2024, at 3:00 - 6:00 AM EST

On 8 May 2024, at the Palais de Nations in Geneva, Cambodia's Universal Periodic Review (UPR) session is taking place before the United Nations’ Human Rights Council, representing the highest-level and most comprehensive assessment of Cambodia’s human rights record within the international community.

The UPR process has provided a uniquely effective international forum for “speaking truth to power” and for bringing international attention to the extensive and long-lasting human rights abuses of the Hun Sen/Hun Manet government. Over the past two years, the UN has effectively identified the problems and deficiencies within the Cambodian government, particularly leading up to the 2023 national election, and outlined the necessary steps for remedying these issues.
