Cambodia formalizes death penalty ban
The Cambodian government has moved to permanently prohibit the revival of the death penalty through the ratification of a specific UN treaty. Justice Minister Koeut Rith confirmed the commitment to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, effectively closing the legal path for the state to reintroduce capital punishment. The move aligns the nation with international human rights standards.
