Phnom Penh: Dr. Chhay Sinarith, Senior Minister in Charge of Special Missions and Head of the Secretariat of the Commission for Combating Cybercrime (CCC), has emphasized that Cambodia pays high attention to protecting the safety and well-being of Cambodian and foreign citizens.
The remarks of Dr. Chhai Sinarith, Senior Minister in Charge of Special Missions and Head of the Secretariat of the Commission on Combating Cybercrime (CCCR), were made on the occasion of allowing Mr. Thomas Andrews, the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Cambodia, to pay a courtesy call and discuss work on July 29, 2026.
During this meeting, Dr. Chhai Sinarith provided information on the background of cybercrime operations and highlighted that this problem is a global crisis that is spreading throughout the world. The Royal Government of Cambodia is highly committed to solving, suppressing and cleaning up fraud crimes using this technology system. Along with the cleaning up operation, Cambodia also pays great attention to protecting the safety and well-being of Cambodian and foreign citizens.
He stressed that the implementation of procedures is very important in ensuring the success of the crackdown, but this must go hand in hand with humanitarian considerations in order to prevent citizens from suffering both physical and psychological harm. In this regard, Cambodia adheres to humanitarian principles by providing necessary support and humanitarian assistance to foreign citizens who have been lured by brokers or trafficked into Cambodia for fraudulent activities, and has worked closely with embassies to repatriate those foreign citizens to their home countries. Cambodia welcomes cooperation with partner countries and international organizations to jointly prevent citizens around the world from falling into the traps and tricks of this technology-based fraud network.
In response, Thomas Andrews emphasized that he was well aware of the establishment and tasks of the mechanism. The NCC, which highlighted the importance of cracking down on cybercrime for the Royal Government of Cambodia, expressed its interest in the status and results of cracking down on cybercrime. He hoped that the two sides would continue to discuss and exchange views on this issue in the future.
