Abstract

Empowerment and legitimization of both traditional and legal decentralized institutions are the greatest challenges ahead for Cambodia. Non-governmental Organizations (NGO), Community-Based Organizations (CBO) and researchers should facilitate the flow of information and create effective communication channels as a means to empower community as well as to legitimize local government’s actions. The Annex provides a transcript of current Land Law (2001) Articles: “Part 2: Immovable Property of Indigenous Communities, with translation note: The literal translation of the Khmer is “original ethnic minorities;” Customary User Rights (2002); and The Law on Khum/Sangkat Administrative Management (2001).
