CCHR is a leading non-aligned, independent, non-governmental organization that works to promote and protect democracy and respect for human rights – primarily civil and political rights - in Cambodia. We empower civil society to claim its rights and drive change; and through detailed research and analysis we develop innovative policy, and advocate for its implementation.

Vision


Our vision is of a non-violent Cambodia in which people enjoy their fundamental human rights, are treated equally, empowered to participate in democracy, and share the benefits of Cambodia’s development. We desire rule of law rather than impunity; strong institutions rather than strong men; and a society in which diversity is harnessed rather than punished. 

Mission


CCHR is an advocacy organization facilitating grassroots participation by empowering local communities through education of their civil and political rights. It facilitates constructive interaction between Cambodian civil society and the international community in order to advocate the progressive realization of Cambodian human rights.

We expect our staff to share certain values that reflect of vision and purpose, these include:


  • Equality – we value diversity and cross cultural understanding
  • Integrity – we value honesty, diligence and hard work
  • Transparency – we value openness and accountability
  • Creativity – we value new ideas and innovative solutions

Support Indigenous forest protection in Borneo

General

The upper Baram River Basin is the largest area of unprotected primary forest in Sarawak, containing dozens of species threatened with extinction. To protect the area from logging and palm oil, indigenous communities have launched campaigns to stop logging, formally protect the area, and strengthen Indigenous land rights. They envision a safe, vibrant rainforest that will remain standing for many generations to come.
