Cambodian legal system
The Cambodian legal system is a civil law system influenced by French legal traditions. It is based on a hierarchy of laws, with the Constitution at the top, followed by laws passed by the National Assembly, and regulations issued by the government. Courts interpret and apply these laws to resolve disputes, with the Supreme Court serving as the highest appellate authority. Cambodia also has specialized courts for specific issues like criminal, civil, and administrative cases. The system aims to uphold justice and legal rights, guided by principles rooted in both national law and international commitments.
