Minister, UNAFEI to Foster Justice Cooperation

The Ministry of Justice and the United Nations Asia and Far East Institute for the Prevention of Crime and the Treatment of Offenders (UNAFEI) are committed to further promote the cooperation on justice sector.

The commitment was made in a meeting between H.E. Koeut Rith, Minister of Justice and Ms. Junko IRIE, Deputy Director of UNAFEI here in Phnom Penh early this week.

Ms. Junko IRIE underlined the legal cooperation and sought principal recommendations from the minister for the implementation of community service sentence in Cambodia.

H.E. Koeut Rith shared his insights including potential challenges for the implementation of the service sentence in Cambodia.

He also asked UNAFEI to consider helping Cambodia’s criminal justice capacity building including the forensic skill in criminal cases for law enforcement officers.
