Key points

  • The European Parliament calls for the immediate withdrawal of Cambodia's draft laws on NGOs and trade unions.
  • There are serious concerns that the NGO law allows the government to arbitrarily close organisations that are critical of the state.
  • The proposed trade union law sets a very high threshold for forming a union, requiring 20% of workers to join.
  • Certain groups, including domestic workers and those in the informal economy, are excluded from the right to form unions under the new draft.
