A controversial case has prompted a debate about whether it reflects what about the justice system in the country?
By turning to reports that assess the state of the justice system in the country, they have found that it is in lowest rating compared to countries in the region and the world.
A report issued by the World Justice Project in 2016 showed that the lowest rating Law states among the 113 countries studied by an international organization.
In the evaluation and scoring on the rule of law in each country index World Justice Project has studied the trend of factors 8, including the judiciary, civil and criminal justice, which is related to the judicial system as a whole.
In the index, the country ranked 112, better than Venezuela Venezuela alone, and compared with the in the region, we see that we have the lowest rating Myanmar as Burma, just leaving The military regime of the last few years. Based on the index, it reflects that the rule of law in Cambodia is not likely to find better but it could have a decreases.
The index rule is good or bad depends on several factors, 8 points, including the justice sector, but a report by Transparency International noted notice that the justice sector has suffered because of widespread corruption in the judiciary.
Based on a report by the Centre for Legal counseling and advocacy, executive director of Transparency International, Mr. Kol said in state judicial institutions are reported to have the highest corruption compared to other sectors. Then the police also has been reported that there is too much corruption.
Mr. Kol said: " In previous research we did in 2014. We have found that our justice system has weaknesses The system prevents corruption or weaken it, we can say that the justice system vulnerable to corruption. So among all the institutions, we found that there are corruption occurs justice system that is worse than if we compare to . "
In the report, TI urged the government to reform the judicial system and ensure the independence of the justice system to increase system of justice for all.
Mr. Kol added: " We have recommended to the government to reform the justice system to do to ensure the justice system independent of the independence of judges, the prosecution's lawyer in working to ensure that he makes professional work, not influenced by political, not a bribe and impartial trial because of the factor of corruption or political factors that one . "
Justice system in the country was also seen under political influence and the case involves political seen as not likely to get justice, even though the government has repeatedly denied that it had not reached clicks into judicial affairs.
Project Coordinator entitled to a fair trial, Human Rights Centre of Cambodia, Hun Seang Hak said the case involved and political influence is a complex story that the victim did not get justice.
Hun Seang Hak said: " what is concerned there are some things that involves powerful influence or call the story involves politics is a fairly complex was delayed and was waiting for the Vatican victims. A powerful influence or involves a number of political and which is difficult to get justice in the court system we do . "
The problem of political influence covers the justice system was seen also by polluting his Cambodian court officials in the ruling. A letter to the Cambodian People's Party vice chairman Chhum sent a working group to strengthen the party in the provinces and the capital last July 2014, so far has proven that the judges and prosecutors has been the ruling party incorporated into working group to various bases around the country. According to a letter to the Cambodian judicial officials to engage in political activities of the CPP in violation of the law on the statute the judge and prosecutor. But Chomsky introduced to the head of the Labour Party canceled all court officials, from members of the party's work.
The observations Mr. Kol has seen activists of political parties has become a political hostage when the case involves political one was brought to court.
Mr. Kol said: " The case that we rarely get justice from the court, 1 case involves politics. When the controversy we can see that there are politics involved are victims, it often becomes as victims of the hostage of politics . "
Mr. Kol warned that when people lose faith in the judicial system in this country, and they will choose a way other than to deal in court.
