(VOVWORLD) - An amended law on political parties was approved by Cambodia’s Senate at a meeting on Tuesday. The Cambodian People’s Party (CPP) was the only political party that attended the meeting.
The new law on political parties reinforces the rule of law and promotes citizens and political parties’ rights and duties. It also bans political parties from using images, sayings, letters or activities of people with criminal records for the party interest.
