The CCHR is a non-political, independent, non-governmental organization which works to promote and protect democracy and respect for human rights throughout Cambodia. We focus primarily on civil and political rights, although we work on a variety of interlinked human rights issues.

Members of staff are grouped into four specialist Units that reflect the scope of our work: Freedom of Expression; Fair Trials; Land Rights; and Democracy. They work through our three Programs: Community Empowerment; Monitoring, Research, Documentation & Information; and Advocacy.
