If Cambodia passes a law to regulate NGO activity, what influence will it have on the work of land rights activists?
The Cambodian government is on its way to passing a law that critics say threatens the country's lively civil society groups and NGOs.
The third draft of the Law on Associations and Non-Governmental Organisations (LANGO) would more tightly control the eligibility of civil society organisations and how they are run.
Even before the law's passage, the government seems to be already be exercising what it aims to accomplish.
