The Constitution of Cambodia states that the country has united for ‘the restoration of Cambodia into an "Island of Peace" based on a multi-party liberal democratic regime guaranteeing human rights, abiding by law, and having high responsibility for the nation's future destiny of moving toward perpetual progress, development, prosperity, and glory.

The CCHR works to uphold these fundamentals by bringing elected officials and political party representatives face to face with marginalised groups, with the twin objectives of holding these leaders accountable to their electorate and providing space for citizens to understand democracy, experience the democratic process, raise issues of concern relating to development, poverty and rights, and engage with political parties and polices to advocate for themselves and effect change. Our primary goal is for Cambodia to have a more inclusive democracy.
