Land grabbing, illegal concessions and corruption


In the years of 2007-8 the Cambodian Government, was responsible for the sale of 45% of the total landmass in Cambodia to primarily foreign investors. Parts of these concessions are wildlife protections or national parks even (See Botum Sakor National Park for example), and the vast majority of the Economic Land Concessions (ELCs) have been issued in violation of Cambodia’s 2001 Land Law and its Subdecree on ELCs.
The landsales has been perceived by observers, to be the result of land grabbing and corruption within the judicial system, ministries and government bureaucracy of Cambodia. The landsales are potentially threatening more than 150,000 Cambodians directly with eviction and affecting more than 400,000. Already thousands of citizens had fallen victims of forced evictions, stirring serious unrest across the country.
