💨 Abstract

Cambodia's lawmakers approved a constitutional amendment allowing the government to revoke citizenship for those found guilty of conspiring with foreign nations to harm the national interest. The move, passed unanimously, is seen by critics as a tactic to suppress dissent and target political opponents. The amendment applies to all citizens, including those with dual citizenship. Justice Minister Koeut Rith stated that the bill aims to counter treason and collaboration with foreign entities.
