This handbook – “Pre-Trial and Trial Procedures: A Handbook for Criminal Procedure in Cambodian Courts” – is intended to be a user-friendly guide that concisely lays out the key pre-trial and trial procedures and the basic appeal process in Cambodian courts for easy access and understanding by those without formal legal training. Accordingly, the handbook is primarily aimed at members of the public, law students, and new lawyers, although it may also be useful to experienced lawyers, members of the judiciary and NGOs wishing to have a basic guide to Cambodian criminal procedure. This handbook was created under the auspices of CCHR’s Trial Monitoring Project, which monitors criminal trials in Cambodia to assess their adherence to standards of fairness as defined in international and Cambodian law.
