A case was decided on June 2, 2010, by the Cambodian Supreme Court regarding the legality of the applicant’s criminal conviction by lower courts. The Court upheld the conviction of the defendant by the lower court. The defendant was convicted of defamation of Prime Minister Hun Sen. There is not yet a readily available interpretation or documentation of the case in English. If such material arises (as it probably will sometime, as it is a much-discussed case in Cambodia), it will be good to watch if the Court cites international human rights norms, such as UDHR, vis-à-vis the burden of proof, etc.
