PERSONS
SENSITIVE BUT UNCLASSIFIED
¶1. (SBU) Summary: During the second quarter of 2009, Cambodian
police arrested seven persons on human trafficking charges. Police
also arrested six persons on procurement of prostitution charges in
connection with two cases involving two victims who were minors.
Police reported arresting four foreign pedophiles and rescuing six
victims in connection with those cases. Police arrested one
Cambodian national on purchase of child prostitution charges and
rescued one male victim under age 18. During the same period, the
Phnom Penh Municipal Court convicted one foreign pedophile and one
Cambodian national. Police rescued 29 victims of trafficking and
reported that they were returned to their families or were referred
to NGO victim shelters.
¶2. (SBU) During the second quarter, the Royal Government of
Cambodia decided to issue a Sub-Decree to formalize the merger
between its National Task Force and High-Level Working Group on
Combating Trafficking in Persons. The Sub-Decree is currently being
drafted by Cabinet staff of Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of
Interior Sar Kheng. After DPM approval, it must be approved by the
Council of Ministers, and then by Prime Minister Hun Sen. Officials
expect to complete the process within the next two months. The
National Minimum Standards for Victim Assistance are being finalized
by a Technical Team at the Ministry of Social Affairs, and will be
issued as a regulation at the Ministry level (prakas). Minister of
Social Affairs Ith Sam Heng is expected to sign the Standards by the
end of August. Finally, a draft of the Explanatory Notes on the
2008 anti-TIP law is complete and under review by the Ministry of
Justice (MOJ). The MOJ wants to hold a stakeholder meeting to
discuss some points for clarification. Following the MOJ approval
process, the Notes will require approval by the Council of Ministers
and Prime Minister before being issued as an Annex to the 2008 Law.
End Summary.
Improving Implementation of the New Law
--------------------------------------------- ---
¶3. (SBU) In April, the Anti-Human Trafficking and Juvenile
Protection Department of the National Police(AHTJP) informed post of
a February 23 letter from the Ministry of Justice (MOJ) to all
provincial and municipal courts clarifying Article 42, "Sexual
Intercourse with a Minor under Fifteen Years." The letter explained
that "intercourse" includes any form of penetration, including oral
sex and sodomy. (COMMENT: The clarification is important because,
under Cambodian cultural definitions, oral sex and sodomy are not
considered intercourse. Perpetrators who committed those acts were
formerly charged under the lesser "Indecent Acts" of Article 43,
which is not consistent with international standards and not counted
for TIP statistical purposes. END COMMENT.)
¶4. (SBU) On April 2, the MOJ issued a letter to all provincial and
municipal courts requesting standardization of statistics reporting.
The letter included a sample statistical table used by the Phnom
Pehn Municipal Court and provided detailed instructions on
completing the table. The MOJ informed post that the primary
purpose of the letter was to draw high attention from the provincial
and municipal courts to the importance of compiling the statistics
and reporting them to the MOJ in a timely fashion.
¶5. (SBU) On May 18, the MOJ issued a letter to all provincial and
municipal courts instructing officials to increase prosecutions of
TIP cases. The letter ordered the courts to report the number of
TIP cases in process, instructed the courts to investigate and
prosecute more TIP cases, and requested courts to open the maximum
number of TIP cases they had the capacity to handle.

months of pre-trial detention; the court's suspension of 3 months of
the prison term meant Blanchard would have exited prison the

mother to send the victim to Phnom Penh for a better job. The
victim's mother subsequently learned that the perpetrator sold the
victim instead. The victim's mother filed a complaint against the
perpetrator to provincial police. ADHOC reported that the police
are searching for the perpetrator and the victim. Their whereabouts
are unknown.
