Cambodia 1 : NGOs 0 ?

In late September Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen called for the revival of a controversial law which would require the country's more than 2,000 associations and NGOs to complete a complex registration process and submit to stringent financial reporting requirements. By enacting the law, Hun Sen could recalibrate the government's terms of engagement with the Western-led aid community, on which his government has heavily relied for decades to finance its budget. The move comes as private-led foreign investment has fueled the country's economic rise, led in the main by China and South Korea. Many fear the discretionary powers the law will give the government in monitoring and sanctioning NGOs - rather than vice versa.
