Cambodia is facing many crises that violate their rights as human beings. Having their land taken by corrupt politicians, or having their freedom to express their thoughts censored to being forced to partake in a demeaning industry where they are forced to due hard labor with little to no pay.

A corrupt government may feel like they cannot do anything to put an end to this, but they can. They can address these problems thoroughly and have more security in the country to stop trafficking. They can compensate the evicted farmers and take responsibility for the wrongdoings they are doing to their people. They can also be more lenient with their restrictions on speech and expression. Overall, they can be a better government and listen to their crying people. As a government, they should take care of their people in need, as they are the country. Needing to put a stop to the inhumane treatment going on in third-world countries such as Cambodia, human rights groups are documenting and protesting at the sides of many citizens in the country for they have no one else to depend on to get the job done. If these problems do not resolve, Cambodia’s effort to tear off the label of being a “third-world” country will slow to a stop. Cambodia must not worsen, for it is a country of great potential to become something much better than what it is
