PHNOM PENH (The Phnom Penh Post/Asia News Network): Minister of Interior Sar Kheng told UN special rapporteur Vitit Muntarbhorn that authorities are working to crack down on criminal cartels that have capitalised on loopholes in the Kingdom’s laws and some law enforcement shortcomings to commit human trafficking crimes.

The UN Special Rapporteur on the Situation of Human Rights in Cambodia met Sar Kheng for talks on Aug 24 as part of his 11-day visit, scheduled to conclude on Aug 26, to collect information before submitting a report to the Human Rights Council in October.
