The Cambodian Human Rights and Development Association (ADHOC) was founded in December 1991 after the signing of the Paris Peace Agreements. ADHOC is an independent, non-partisan, non- profit and non-governmental organization. ADHOC’s vision is a society that respects human rights and law. For more than 30 years, ADHOC has worked to address the absence of basic rights, freedoms and liberties in Cambodia by providing people with knowledge and understanding of human rights, law and democracy, and how to defend their rights and freedoms. ADHOC is comprised of two sections - the Human Rights and Land Rights Section, and the Women’s and Children’s Rights Section. It operates across Cambodia, with a headquarters office in Phnom Penh and 21 provincial offices.
The Human Rights and Land Rights Section handles complaints of human rights abuses, such as extrajudicial killings, illegal arrest and detention, torture, impunity, or violations of fundamental freedoms of expression, assembly and association. In addition, the section handles cases of land and natural resource rights violations, including those concerning land grabbing, forced evictions, Economic Land Concessions (ELCs), Social Land Concessions (SLCs) and destruction of natural resources. The Women’s and Children’s Rights Section addresses violations concerning gender-based violence, including domestic violence, rape, trafficking in persons, and migrant abuse. Each section undertakes three key types of activities, including a) provision of direct legal and other support to survivors of human rights violations and their families; b) empowerment and capacity-building activities to enable people to defend their rights; and c) advocacy at the local, national and international levels.
