The rights to assembly in Democratic Kampuchea compare to the rights to assembly in People’s Republic of Kampuchea

Abstract

Rights to assembly is the rights that individual would be able to form in group to create party, organization, or association in religion, business or politics for their own sakes. These rights most likely practiced in democratic system to form pluralism and multi-party system. However, in Cambodia during the Democratic Kampuchea I found nothing relates to the rights to assembly to participate in these areas. Anyway, after the defeat of Khmer Rough in 1979, the constitution was changed to serve the new political era, the People’s Republic of Kampuchea. So, I choose this topic, “The rights to assembly in Democratic Kampuchea compare to the rights to assembly in the People’s Republic of Kampuchea”, as my study because it leads me to have better understanding about the rights of people in religion, business and politics in those political histories. So, what are similarities and differences of rights to assembly between the two regimes? And which political period provided more human right to assembly? Furthermore, I would like to understand more about human rights in the article 18 of ICCPR, which we have discussed in class lecture by Prof. Stan. These reasons force and direct me to do research on this topic because it is very significant to my study in this term, Human Rights and World Politics.
