FOREWORD

The fundamental principle of legality, the rule of law, is attenuated, when administrative

authorities are empowered to act in vast and important areas with a considerable degree of

discretion. And the lack of legal remedies may leave the individual in a state of frustration

when confronted by administrative decisions which he considers to be unfair, unjust, or

unreasonable.

One legal remedy, the Ombudsman, was introduced in the Scandinavian countries from the

beginning of the 19th

century. Numerous types of Ombudsman institutions were created all

over the world during the following decades.

In general, any kind of Ombudsman is created with the purpose to enhancing the protection

of the individual against abuse of administrative powers and other forms of

maladministration.

So far, there is no generally accepted definition of an Ombudsman. But, practically, an

Ombudsman is a person or an institution who receives complaints from aggrieved persons

against government agencies, officials and employees, or who acts on his own motion, and

who has the power to investigate, recommend corrective action, and issue reports.

Acknowledging the importance of the Ombudsman, the Royal Government of Cambodia has

proven its commitment through the priority action 1.6.1 of the Action Plan to implement the

Legal and Judicial Reform Strategy, adopted in 2005 by the Council of Ministers.

A project has been developed by the General Secretariat of the Council for legal and Judicial

Reform, with the support of German Technical Cooperation “Administration Reform and

Development Program” implemented by GTZ, aiming to raise the understanding of the

concept and ideas of the Ombudsman system among Cambodian government officials and

other stakeholders, including Development Partners and relevant NGOs working in

Cambodia. A concrete policy and strategy on the establishment of an Ombudsman institution

in Cambodia will be drafted and submitted to the Royal Government of Cambodia for

consideration.

The report of the study is very crucial for the Council for Legal and Judicial Reform and the

development partner to identify key measures to be taken to improve the complaint

mechanism in the public sector for better public service delivery of the government agency in

order to in order to insure personal rights and freedom of the people.

1 I. Introduction | Proposal for Implementation an Ombudsman System in Cambodia

I. Introduction

The efforts of the Royal Government of Cambodia to make the administration more transparent, citizen-friendly and democratic are manifold. Some of them, such as the decentralization policies, enjoy a high level of public attention, while others are less well known, but no less important. These lesser known efforts include the initiative undertaken by the Council of Ministers (CoM) to develop a system in Cambodia offering citizens the possibility to defend against administrative injustice and maladministration.

The significant increase in legislative power and administrative tasks due to the increasingly pronounced complexity of economic and social life has made the relation between citizens and their administration more difficult in Cambodia. Citizens are confronted with confusing bureaucratic administrative structures and a lack of transparency. The possibility of monitoring administrative decisions remains underdeveloped.

Starting in 2003, the CoM therefore considered establishing a so-called ombudsman system. A complaint office of this type was first created in Sweden in 1809 and has been implemented and proven effective in many of the world’s countries throughout the second half of the 20th century. The ombudsman systems vary in structure, but there is consensus that an independent complaint office is indispensable in its role of protecting citizens from administrative justice and maladministration as well as supporting democratic development. (see Chapter 2).

In 2005 the Council for Legal and Judicial Reform (CLJR) put this goal in the priority action 1.6.1 of the Plan of Action for Implementing the Legal and Judicial Reform Strategy. In June 2008, CLJR and the “Administrative Reform and Decentralization Program” (ARDP), implemented by GTZ, agreed on a project to design a conceptual framework for an ombudsman system in Cambodia. CLJR and ARDP also agreed on the following course of action:

1. Assessment of the existing complaint offices in Cambodia

2. Consultative meetings with representatives of various ministries, NGOs, and development partners

3. Study tour to an Asian country in order to learn about various ombudsman models

4. Finalizing of the framework for the Cambodian ombudsman

This final report is the result of this common project. It covers the following chapters:

1. General background information about the ombudsman

2. Examples from other countries

3. Survey results of existing public complaint offices

4. Options for Cambodia

II. The Concept of Ombudsman

2.1 Definition of an Ombudsman

“The ombudsman is an independent and non-partisan officer…often provided for in the Constitution, who supervises the administration. He deals with specific complaints from the public against administrative injustice and maladministration. He has the power to investigate, report upon and make recommendations about individual cases and administrative procedures. He is not a judge or tribunal, and he has no power to make orders or to reverse administrative action. His seeks solutions to problem by a process of investigation and conciliation. His authority and influence derive from the fact that he is appointed by and reports to one of the principle organs of the state, usually either the parliament or the chief executive.”1

In summary, an Ombudsman is seen as serving several functions:

To provide an accessible complaint point for people to the increasingly complex functions exercised by government;

To protect people against wrong-doing by government2;

To supervise and make transparent the work of government3;

To improve the efficiency and quality of government; and

To protect some human rights.

2.2 Variety of Ombudsman Systems

In the beginning most countries had only one ombudsman, appointed by the national government or the national parliament. But in more recent decades it became apparent that one ombudsman office is not able to handle all complaints– not only because of the increasing number of complaints but also because of the wide range of subject areas.

Today many countries have a mixed system with national, sub-national and sector ombudsmen offices (e.g. Ombudsman for children, for equal opportunities, for handicapped people etc.) Many countries also have private sector bodies which call themselves Ombudsman – although they are not Ombudsman in the classic sense because they do not deal with complaints about government.

An Ombudsman needs to be distinguished from internal complaints bodies of government agencies. Every government body should have its own complaints process because complaints are an important part of improving procedures. However, these internal complaints bodies are not Ombudsmen. Ombudsmen are, by definition, separate from the legislature and separate from any Ministry. They are a place for people to go if a Ministry complaints procedure is unsatisfactory.

3 II. The Concept of Ombudsman | Proposal for Implementation an Ombudsman System in

Cambodia

This ‘externality’ gives an Ombudsman a greater degree of independence in investigating complaints. ‘Externality’ means that the Ombudsman has the same perspective as the public, rather than internal complaints bodies, which can be driven from the perspective of the Ministry4.

Ayeni writes that it has increasingly become common to add extra functions to an Ombudsman office, such as “anti-corruption and/or human rights commission”5. An Ombudsman does not always have this role. To combine these two functions increases the range of matters an Ombudsman can look at as well as its possible remedies. However, adding a human rights focus removes the focus on government administration. A different skill set is required to deal with human rights and administrative breaches.

2.3 Various Titles used for Ombudsman

A variety of names have been used to represent the ombudsman office in different countries. The titles adopted by various countries connote a diversity of focus of ombudsman office.

Ombudsman and other names6

The word "ombudsman" is of Swedish origin, and means "representative". Many other names are used to represent the ombudsman office in different countries that have adopted the office.

As discussed previously, some of these bodies are Ombudsman, some of them are internal government or legislative complaints mechanisms, and some of them are hybrid Ombudsman-human rights bodies.

For example:

Defensor del Pueblois the title of the ombudsman office in a number of Spanish-speaking countries (such as in Spain, Argentina, Peru and Colombia).

Parliamentary Commissioner for Administration (Sri Lanka, United Kingdom),

Médiateur de la République (e.g. France, Gabon, Mauritania, Senegal)

Public Protector (South Africa),

Protecteur du Citoyen (Québec),

Volksanwaltschaft (Austria),

Public Complaints Commission (Nigeria),

III. Ombudsmen Models in other Countries

An Ombudsman’s office needs to be established so that its’ independence and effectiveness can be assured. The essential features of an Ombudsman are7:

Jurisdiction –the jurisdiction of the Ombudsman must be clearly defined,

Independence – an Ombudsman’s office should be free from interference with guaranteed resources to operate. The Ombudsman should be appointed for a fixed term,

Powers – to carry out its work, the Ombudsman should have clear powers, including the powers to investigate, question people, see documents, prepare a report and publish that report to the public,

Accountability – an Ombudsman should publish openly, on an annual basis, the number of complaints received and the outcome of complaints. It should be protected from defamation laws,

Accessibility – an Ombudsman investigates on the basis of complaints from the public. Its complaints procedure should be free, accessible and sufficiently private, and

Procedural fairness –The Ombudsman’s own procedures should be fair. At a minimum, the Ombudsman should listen to both sides and give its reasons for its recommendation. The Ombudsman should operate without bias or favouritism.

3.1 South Korea

Based on the information and lesson leanred from the study tour on ombudsm,an system to the republic of Korea of Cambodian delegation on 26-31 July 2009, the ombudsman system of South Korea has a multi-agency body known as the Anti-corruption and Civil Rights Commission – ACRC (see more in annex 2 on the report of study tour on ombudsman system in Korean Republic). The ACRC was established in 2008 and is underpinned by the Act on Anti-Corruption and the Foundation of the Anti-Corruption & Civil Rights

Commission, Act No. 94028. As well as an ombudsman division, the ACRC includes anti-corruption and administrative appeals divisions. The ACRC replaces the stand-alone Ombudsman of Korea, which was established in 19949. The merger has been criticized for weakening horizontal accountability between the integrity institutions10. The legislation also provides for the establishment of local ombudsmen in each local government area to ‘deal with complaints against each local government and institutions belonging thereto’11.

3.1.1. Jurisdiction

The Ombudsman Division of the ACRC has jurisdiction to investigate complaints relating to ‘any illegal, unjustifiable or passive action of an administrative agency etc. (including an actual act and omission) or unreasonable administrative system which violates a citizen’s right or causes inconvenience or burden to a citizen’12. The ACRC may transfer complaints to other bodies if they relate to high political decisions, state secrets, court matters, national assembly matters, the Election Commission, the Board of Audit and Inspection, a local council, the Constitutional Court, ongoing mediation/arbitration, matters between private individuals, and matters related to administration of personnel13.

3.1.2. Independence

The ACRC is headed by a Commission, which is composed of a chair, three vice-chair, three standing commissioners, and eight non-standing commissioners, who each serve a three-year term14. One person, a Vice-Chair, is in control of Ombudsman investigations. However, the Commission decides upon the recommendations to be issued by the Ombudsman Division. The ACRC’s commission structure is unique among the four Ombudsmen structures examined in this section. Multiple members may mean that it is less likely to reach consensus on the outcomes of investigations, with the result that fewer recommendations are issued.

System in Cambodia

The President appoints the Chair, the Vice-Chairs, and the three standing commissioners, following the recommendation of the Prime Minister. The President appoints two of the non-standing commissioners following the recommendation of the National Assembly, and two following the recommendation of the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. The remaining four non-standing commissioners are appointed directly by the President15. Membership of the commission is drawn from the following professions16:

senior academics for eight years,

judges or lawyers for ten years,

senior public officials,

a local Ombudsman for four years, or

people of high social reputation with knowledge of administration who are recommended by the non-government organization sector.

Each member of the commission must resign from any position as member of the National Assembly, member of a local council, employee or officer of an organization having a ‘special interest … in any administrative agency’17. A member of the ACRC can be disqualified from being a member by the President or Prime Minister if: he or she is a member of a political party, stands for election, breaches Art 33 of the State Public Officials Act, is unable to perform his/her duties due to mental or physical difficulties, or violates the prohibition on holding more than one office18.

3.1.3. Powers

The Ombudsman Division of the ACRC has the power to19:

request an agency to give an explanation or submit materials,

to request an employee of the administrative agency, or any person of interest to present him/herself and express his/her opinion, and

to inspect any place or facility that is relevant to the complaint.

While the legislation states that administrative agencies should comply with ACRC requests, there are no sanctions if they do not comply20. The Ombudsman Division of the ACRC has the power to make recommendations for compromise, conciliate a complaint, submit opinions on a complaint, and make recommendations for rectification to the head of the administrative agency. If the ACRC makes recommendations for improvement

of the administrative system, the head of the administrative agency has to report on its progress in implementing those recommendations and the ACRC can monitor its progress21. The ACRC has the power to publish its recommendations, opinions, and the agency’s handling of its recommendations ‘provided that publication is not restricted under any other Act or will not violate an individual’s privacy’22. The ACRC is not allowed to divulge official secrets, at risk of a penalty including up to five years in prison and or up to 30 million won fine ($25,930 USD)23.

3.1.4. Accountability

The ACRC is required to provide annual status updates to the President and the National Assembly and publish such updates24.

3.1.5. Accessibility

People have the right to complain to the ACRC25.

3.1.6. Procedural fairness

The ACRC is required to notify the complainant of the result of the complaint26. The ACRC is also required not to disclose information about the complaint27.

3.2 Australia

The Australian Commonwealth Ombudsman (CO) was established in 1976 by the Ombudsman Act 1976 (No. 181). The legislation provides for one Commonwealth Ombudsman and up to three Deputy Ombudsmen28.

3.2.1. Jurisdiction

The CO has jurisdiction over “matters of administration” relating to Commonwealth Departments29. It also has power to determine if a government official has unreasonably delayed making a decision or act30. When making an investigation, the CO examines a case to see if31:

The act was contrary to law, unreasonable, unjust, oppressive or improperly discriminatory,

was in accordance with a rule of law or practice but the rule or practice was unreasonable, unjust, oppressive or improperly discriminatory,

was based on a mistake of fact or law,

was otherwise wrong,

was a discretionary power exercised for an improper purpose or irrelevant grounds,

was a discretionary power but irrelevant considerations were taken into account or there was a failure to consider relevant considerations, or

the decision-maker was required to give reasons but did not.

Its jurisdiction is limited so that the CO can’t investigate Ministerial action, proceedings in Parliament, actions by judges, matters relating to the employment of government officials32. If there is a question over the exercise of a government power or function, either the CO or the Head of the Government Department can apply to the Federal Court for a determination of the question33.

3.2.2. Independence

The Ombudsman is appointed by the Head of State and holds office for up to seven years34. Ministers directly appoint Deputy Ombudsmen. An independent renumeration tribunal determines the pay of the Ombudsmen35. There are several methods for suspending or removing an Ombudsman on the basis of misbehaviour or physical or mental incapacity36:

The Head of State can remove the Ombudsman by presenting a statement to both Houses of Parliament in the same session,

The Head of State can suspend the Ombudsman and the Minister must give Parliament a statement of the grounds for suspension within a prescribed time. Either House of Parliament can then vote to remove the Ombudsman.

The Head of State can directly remove the Ombudsmen if he/she becomes bankrupt, or is absent, except on a leave of absence, for 14 consecutive days or 28 days in 12 months37.

3.2.3. Powers

The CO has the power to38:

give a notice to a person requiring him/her to produce information or documents relevant to an investigation,

require a person to attend and answer questions, including under oath,

enter a place that is occupied by a government agency or its contractor and inspect documents.

On some occasions, however, the Attorney-General can issue a certificate that disclosure of a matter is not allowed because it would prejudice the security, defence or international relations of the country, it would disclose communications between Ministers, or it would disclose confidential Cabinet or Executive Council discussions, among other reasons. It can also issue a letter that entering a place is forbidden because it may ‘prejudice the security or defence of the Commonwealth’39. Officers and people who comply with a request for information are given certain protections against prosecution and civil actions40. If a person does not comply with a CO request to provide information, then the CO can apply to the Federal Court for an order compelling him/her to do so.41 A person who fails to provide information to the Ombudsman without a reasonable excuse can be given a penalty of $1 000 ($915 USD) or up to 3 months imprisonment42. If the CO forms the view that a government officer has breached his/her duty, then it must notify the head of the government agency or the relevant Minister43. A CO can make a report that recommends action. It can also ask a government agency to report to it on action taken within a particular time frame44. If the government agency does not take adequate action, the CO can report directly to the Prime Minister45. However, the CO should not issue or publish a report that is critical of the government unless it has first given the government a chance to comment on the matter46.

System in Cambodia

Once the CO reports to a Minister, the Minister is required to table the report in both Houses of Parliament within a prescribed period47. Once the report is given to Parliament, it becomes available to the public . The CO is allowed to disclose information to ‘any person or the public’ about the performance of government or a CO investigation, if its in the public interest to disclose the information48. However, there are certain restrictions on its ability to disclose information49, especially if the Australian Crime Commission or the Integrity Commissioner holds the information and disclosure would affect a person’s safety or a fair trial. The CO is protected from litigation for any acts or omissions ‘done in good faith’ in exercise of a power under the legislation50.

3.2.4. Accountability

The CO is required to submit annual reports to Parliament on its operations during the year51. Once the report is given to Parliament, it becomes available to the public through Hansard. In 2008-2009, its annual report included information on:

the number of complaints, investigations, and inspections, and the outcome

the number of complaints that were finalized and the length of time it took to finalise them,

the number of recommendations that were accepted by government agencies,

the number of complaints about the CO, and the outcome,

analysis of the complaints for each government agency

3.2.5. Accessibility

CO investigations shall be conducted in private and there are special provisions to allow people in detention to make confidential complaints to the CO52. A complainant is protected from civil proceedings that might arise from his/her complaint, for example defamation53. There are offices of the Ombudsman in each State and Territory of Australia.

3.2.6. Procedural fairness

The CO is to notify the government department and the complainant of ‘particulars of the investigation’ and to give them an opportunity to comment54. Generally, the CO is not to divulge information about a complainant or a complaint, except as required for Ombudsman duties55. In particular, confidential details about a complainant are not to be revealed unless it is ‘fair and reasonable in all the circumstances to do so’56.

3.3 Thailand

The Thai Ombudsman (TO) was established in 2000 after the passing of legislation in 199957. Its current legal basis is Chapter XI of the Constitution of Thailand 2007 and the Organic Act on Ombudsmen B.E. 2552 (2009).

3.3.1. Jurisdiction

The TO has jurisdiction to act on the basis of a complaint, or on its own motion, where there is an injury or its in the public interest58. It can59:

investigate government, local government, and State agencies; including officials’ failure to comply with the law, officials acting beyond powers and duties, performance of duties which causes injury, and omission to perform duties which causes injury,

monitor the duties of Constitutional agencies or organizations, including referring cases to the Constitutional Court or Administrative Court,

monitor the Constitution60,

investigate the ethics of officials and people in political positions (which is something that would not be possible in a system with separation of powers). If it finds a breach of ethics, it is to report to the National Assembly, the Council of Ministers and the National Counter Corruption Commission (NCCC). If it is a serious breach of ethics, it can be disclosed to the public. It also has a role in the creation of ethical standards61.

The TO is not to investigate matters filed at court, trial decisions and adjudications of judges, and it can only investigate the implementation of

policy of the Council of Ministers. In terms of personnel administration of public officials, it can only investigate matters of ethics62. The TO can refer serious corruption matters to the National Counter Corruption Commission (NCCC), and the NCCC must report to the Ombudsman every three months)63.

3.3.2. Independence

There can be up to three Ombudsmen. The Ombudsmen are appointed for six–year terms64. The Ombudsmen divide their duties among themselves ‘with a view to enable each Ombudsman to perform his duties independently’65. The TO is protected from civil and criminal prosecution as long as it exercises its duties ‘in good faith’66. The TO’s budget is reportedly insufficient to employ enough people to carry out its many functions. In 2007, the TO reportedly only considered 1 907 cases out of 14 762 67. The Selection Committee to choose the Ombudsman is composed of two people from the Supreme Court of Justice, one person from the President of the Constitutional Court, two people from the Supreme Administrative Court, the President of the House of Representatives, and the Leader of the Opposition from the House of Representatives. The Selection committee chooses a short-list of candidates. The Senate votes from this short-list, and the King makes the final appointment68. An Ombudsman must not be a government official, an employee of a State or local government agency, not carry out a business, not engage in an independent profession, not have been a member of a political party in the previous three years, not be a judge, not be a bankrupt, not have been sentenced to prison, except for crimes of negligence, defamation or a petty offence, not have been dismissed from the government for a serious violation, not be a drug addict, and other criteria69. A person selected as an Ombudsman must resign from his/her position before becoming Ombudsman70. An Ombudsman must be someone ‘recognised and respected by the public, with knowledge and experience in the administration of State affairs, enterprises or other activities of common interests of the public and 62

with apparent integrity’71. The qualifications for Ombudsman include having a bachelor’s degree, being older than 45, and not being a political member72. The Senate can remove the Ombudsman if he/she becomes disqualified, violates one of the prohibitions, if a Court orders that he/she has unusual wealth, or if he/she reaches 70 years of age73.

3.3.3. Powers

The TO’s powers in conducting an investigation are to be carried out with regard to the ‘impact on the security of the State, public safety and international relations’74. The TO has the power:

to request oral and written information or proof from government, local government, and State agencies,

to request information or proof from the Courts,

to go into any place related to the complaint, informing people in advance ‘as necessary’.

If a person refuses to comply with a TO request, and the ‘Ombudsmen is unable to inquire into any fact’, then the investigation stops75. However, any person who fails to respond to a TO request to give a statement of fact in writing or orally, or submit any related proof can be imprisoned for up to six months or fined up to 10,000 baht ($299 USD) and any person who fails to allow the TO access to a place related to the complaint can be imprisoned for up to one year or fined up to 20,000 baht ($598 USD)76. People who comply with a TO request to provide information are protected from civil and criminal prosecution, as long as they act ‘in good faith’77. The TO sends its report to the relevant government, local government, or State agency. The government body is required to implement the recommendation and, if it does not, the Ombudsman is to urgently report that matter to the head of that government agency, the Council of Ministers and Parliament. The TO’s reports can also be disclosed to the public78.

3.3.4. Accountability The TO is required to submit annual reports to the Council of Ministers and Parliament, containing:

results of all inquiries (with confidential details of the complainant removed),

failures to comply with TO investigations, breaches of ethics, and

other matters.

The legislation provides that this report shall also be disclosed to the public, however in practice this information has not regularly occurred79.

3.3.5. Accessibility

Any person has the right to make a complaint to the TO. Committees of Parliament also have the right to ask the TO to investigate a matter80.

3.3.6. Procedural fairness

The TO is to act without delay and is required to tell the complainant the results of its investigation in some detail81. Information given to the TO by a complainant is generally confidential. A person who improperly discloses confidential information can be imprisoned for up to six months or fined up to 10,000 baht ($299 USD)82.

3.4 Indonesia

Presidential Decree 44/2000 established the Indonesian National Ombudsman (INO) in 2000. Recently, the Law on Ombudsman of the Republic of Indonesia 37/2008 substantially strengthened the legal basis for the institution. The Indonesian government is decentralized; with central, provincial, district/municipality, sub-district, and village levels of government. The majority of responsibility and budget for administering social services is concentrated at the district level of government83. As well as the INO, district governments can set up their own local ombudsman. Yogyakarta was the first to establish a Local Ombudsman’s Office and will be followed by others84. Local Ombudsmen can only investigate complaints about government officials in the local area.

System in Cambodia

3.4.1. Jurisdiction

The INO is given the broad jurisdiction to supervise the administration of public services of the central and ‘regional’ government85. It can act on the basis of complaints and conduct own-motion investigations86. For the INO, maladministration is defined as ‘the behaviour of act against the law, exceeding the authority, using power for purposes other than those which become the objective of such power, including ignorance or negligence of legal obligation in administering public services ... which affect damage to the community and/or individual, both materially and immaterially’87. The INO’s jurisdiction is limited so that it cannot ‘interfere with the independence of judiciary in delivering judgments’ and it cannot investigate where to do so would be a conflict of interest88.

3.4.2. Independence

The legislation states that the INO is independent of other State agencies and should be free from intervention89 from other authorities. The INO is protected against arrest, detention, interrogation, prosecution and civil actions90. The INO consists of one Chief Ombudsman, one Deputy Chief, seven Members, and assistants. The legislation also provides for the INO to be assisted by a Secretary-General, although the role of the Secretary-General is not defined, nor is it clear whether the Secretary-General can interfere with the independence of the INO91. The House of Representatives elects the Ombudsman, Deputy Ombudsmen, and Members based on the nomination of the President. The President nominates candidates based on the recommendation of a selection committee, which is composed of government, lawyers, academics, and community representatives. The selection committee operates on the basis of a prescribed process, which includes community involvement92. The qualifications for Ombudsman includes being religious, having a bachelors degree, 15 years of working experience, being aged between 40 and 60, having a high moral standard and good reputation, not being a member of a

political party and not having a criminal history. Once appointed, Ombudsmen cannot be concurrently employed in the government, business, political party or any profession93. The President can remove the Ombudsman on the basis of abuse of power, holding another job, getting a criminal record, or a permanent impediment94. In the past, some commentators have argued that the INO is not funded at a level to employ enough staff to meet the demand for investigations95.

3.4.3. Powers

The INO’s powers in conducting an investigation are defined and a person can be compelled by the police to cooperate96. Parties who obstruct an INO investigation can be imprisoned for up to two years and/or given a fine of up 1,000,000,000 ($108,000 USD)97:

o to request oral and written information from “parties related to the complaint” under oath,

o to examine and copy documents of the complainant and the party complained,

o to conduct on-the-spot inspections without notice, o to summon “parties related to the complaint”.

Once it has investigated, the INO can:

o make recommendations, including for compensation, o conduct mediation or conciliation o make findings and recommendations, o if the findings or recommendations are not complied with, to

give a copy the President, Parliament, and the public.

3.4.4. Accountability

The INO is required to submit quarterly and annual reports to the Parliament and President. The annual report is to be published. The annual report is to include the numbers of grievances, which government officials have not complied with requests/recommendations, which government agencies have failed to take action against a guilty official, the government official’s defence/explanation for their conduct, and a financial report98.

4.1. Methods

The assessment of the various complaint offices in the public administration of Cambodia was made with the help of interviews. Interview partners were generally the heads or their deputies of the respective institutions.

In addition, the team interviewed representatives of non-governmental organizations, which assist Cambodians in conflicts with the administration.

The interviews took place in the time period from August to February 2009 and lasted on average between 1 and 1 ½ hours each.

Ombudsman System in Cambodia

4.3 Summary

Most of the complaint offices for citizens, whether on the national or on the sub-national level, are still very new institutions. They were created in the past two to four years. This confirms the efforts of the Cambodian government to make the administration more transparent and to give citizens the possibility to check decisions made by the administration.

In fact these efforts are absolutely essential. Independent Organizations such as ADHOC and OHCHR report that the number of complaints about the administration is increasing and the relation between the citizens and state offices is strained. Many citizens have little trust in the administration or the judicial system. They have to pay “unofficial” fees, wait for long periods and, if the opposing party is rich, have hardly a chance of winning the case.

The relatively recent experiences with the complaint office on a national level and in the two municipalities do not allow for any final conclusions to be drawn about the level of acceptance of these institutions by the citizens. Still, the survey has led to a series of important findings, which should be incorporated into the discussion on a national complaint system. A summary of these findings follows.

The complaint offices on the national level

a) The complaint offices on the national level are not independent institutions. They are departments of the ministries and thus bound to the instructions of the ministers. Their possibility for actually making decisions as well as their financial and human resources are limited. This is true, for example, or the General Inspection Department of Ministry of Industry, Mines and Energy or the Dispute Settlement Office in the Ministry of Commerce.

A visible sign of the lack of independence is the fact that these complaint offices are located in the respective ministries. This is in addition to the fact that the offices are often difficult to find, since there are no signs posted. Citizens who are looking for these offices must ask their way through the ministries to find them.

The national bodies such as the Anti-Corruption Unit, the Human Rights Commission and the National Authority for Land Conflict Solutions have their own buildings, but their competencies are also limited. For example, the Anti-Corruption unit can investigate complaints from citizens only after getting the permission of the CoM. The Committee of Human Rights accepts complaints from citizens regarding human rights abuses, investigates them, and then forwards the cases with recommendations to the relevant offices. The Committee does not, however, have the authority to solve such cases itself.

b) The process of how complaints from the citizens are addressed is largely uniform. The complaints are registered and the officials verify the incident or request a statement from the respective department. If the complaint is deemed justified, a suggested compromise is drafted. If the affected parties are in agreement then the case is closed, but if they are not in agreement,

Page 30: Proposal Options for Implementing Ombudsman System in Cambodia

25 IV. Assessment of existing complaint offices in Cambodia | Proposal for Implementation an

Ombudsman System in Cambodia

the case is presented to the minister or CoM with a recommendation from the complaint office.

c) Most of the complaint offices in the ministries are responsible for internal and external complaints. This double responsibility weakens the profile of the complaint office. A clear profile is necessary in order to increase acceptance levels among citizens.

d) The responsibilities are not always clearly defined. Accordingly, there are three offices, which address land conflicts: the National Authority for Land Conflict Solution, the Ministry of National Assembly and Senate Relation and Inspection (MONARSI) and the General Department of General Inspectorate in the Ministry of Interior.

e) There are only a few usable statistics about the work of complaint offices. Statistics such as the number of complaints registered each year, their content, or how they were resolved either do not exist or are not publicized. So far, surveys of customer satisfaction have not been conducted.

f) The number of citizens who resort to non-governmental organizations in this case of conflict is increasing and is markedly higher than the number of complaints that are registered by official complaint offices. This can be seen based on the available statistics.

g) Only a few complaint offices do publicity work. One must therefore assume that the existence of these offices is unknown to many citizens.

h) A completely new path was opened up with the complaint hotline of the MIME, which improves the service for businesses, particularly small and mid-size businesses. They can use the hotline to verify licensing decisions quickly and in an uncomplicated manner. This hotline was established more than a year ago, but the number of registered complaints can be counted on one hand. There is no certain evidence for why this option is not used. The responsible parties suspect that there is just not enough public knowledge of the institution.

The Ombudsmen in Battambang and Siem Reap

The Ombudsmen in Battambang and Siem Reap have also been an attempt to open new possibilities to the citizens to contest decisions by the administration and protect against incorrect decisions. However, the implementation of the ombudsman system in municipalities is still facing quite big problems.

The reasons for this could be complex.

a) Many citizens don’t yet know about the ombudsman’s existence. Although leaflets were handed out, several talk-back radio programs were financed, samples of citizens questioned have shown that the level of awareness is pretty low. Less than 5 percent of the citizens know about the ombudsman office. 103

b) The citizens don’t have the courage to complain about the administration, because the ombudsman’s office is in the municipality hall and it is not possible to visit him unobserved. The possibility that this keeps the people from asking the ombudsman for help cannot be excluded.

c) The people don’t believe the ombudsman can help them with a conflict with the administration.

d) The word Ombudsman does not exist in Khmer and therefore the offices in the Battambang was named Citizen's Office. Many believe that the name has a negative impact on the public awareness of the Citizen's Office. To more clearly explain the role of the office other titles such as "complaints receiving office", "citizen's relation office" or "Office for serving citizens" have been proposed by these people.104

An internal evaluation conducted by the Ministry of Interior came to the conclusion that the ombudsman remains a worthwhile innovation. The ombudsmen have created a mechanism to strengthen transparency, to curb corruption, and to build up trust of citizens in the district administration. Further, his presence has indirectly played a big factor in ensuring the efficient and transparent running of the OWSO itself.105

The Ministry of Interior recommends:

The location of the ombudsmen offices should be stationed at independent places easily causing the citizens to come for communications

A letter box should be put in public areas where people easily see and insert letters;

The citizens should be inform deeply about the role and the tasks of the ombudsman office

4.4 Conclusion

The tendency for Cambodian citizens to seek the help of non-governmental organizations in the case of conflict is a clear indication that the current services are insufficient. It is therefore necessary that the existing complaint offices be improved and supplemented by additional structures, e.g. a national complaint office of national ombudsman.

The independence of complaint offices should be strengthened and their authority expanded. Only when citizens believe that complaint offices are independently working in their interest will the offices win their trust.

An independent national complaint office should be established that all citizens can turn to regardless of which ministry their complaint effects. This office will be led by one person who is recognized by large segments of society. The office must have sufficient financial and human resources in order to carry out its responsibilities.

When the national complaint office is named, it should be taken into account the term “Ombudsman” is not familiar and the Khmer translation “Citizen Office” can be misunderstood. A name should be found, which summarizes the role of the office, e.g. "Citizen's Advocate" or "Public Complaints Commission".

The responsibilities of the different complaint offices should be clearly outlined and harmonized with one another in order to avoid overlap. This is true for the different institutions on the national level as well as those at the sub-national levels.

The complaint offices should be easily accessible and, if possible, located at “neutral” locations. This should be considered at least for the ombudsmen in the municipalities as well as for a possible national complaint office.

The complaint offices should increase their publicity work. They should inform the citizens at least once a year about their work and publicize themselves using targeted advertising. The citizens' trust can only be gained through information and transparency.

New forms such as the MIME complaint hotline should continue to be tested. Experiences from other countries show that such service hotlines are well received by citizens, since the hurdle of making a telephone call is more easily surmounted than personally making a statement in a complaint office – even for those who live in remote rural areas.

5.1. Features of an Ombudsman’s Office

An Ombudsman’s office needs to be established so that its’ independence and effectiveness can be assured. The essential features of an Ombudsman are107:

5.1.1. Jurisdiction –the jurisdiction of the Ombudsman must be clearly defined and comply with separation of powers,

5.1.2. Independence – an Ombudsman’s office should be free from interference with guaranteed resources to operate. The Ombudsman should be appointed for a fixed term,

5.1.3. Powers – to carry out its work, the Ombudsman should have clear powers, including the powers to investigate, question people, see documents, prepare a report and publish that report to the public,

5.1.4. Accountability – an Ombudsman should publish openly, on an annual basis, the number of complaints received and the outcome of complaints. It should be protected from defamation laws,

5.1.5. Accessibility – an Ombudsman investigates on the basis of complaints from the public. Its complaints procedure should be free, accessible and sufficiently private, and

5.1.6. Procedural fairness –The Ombudsman’s own procedures should be fair. At a minimum, the Ombudsman should listen to both sides and give its reasons for its recommendation. The Ombudsman should operate without bias or favouritism.

5.1.1. Jurisdiction of an Ombudsman

It is important that the Ombudsman has a clearly defined jurisdiction to receive complaints and investigate matters on its own initiative.

Relationship with Municipal Ombudsmen

In Cambodia, some municipalities already have Municipal Ombudsman. It is suggested that these bodies continue as independent institutions, so their complaint handling and decision-making processes are able to independently mature.

People are likely to want to be able to go to a Municipal Ombudsman about a government decision made within the municipality regardless of whether the decision has been made by a commune/sangkat council, a municipal council, or the district office of a line Ministry. Given that the Municipal Ombudsmen are relatively new institutions, its important not to handicap their independence by too narrowly circumscribing the matters they can deal with. For this reason it is proposed that the Municipal Ombudsmens’ jurisdiction be expanded so that they are able to receive complaints about any government matter relating to that municipality, regardless of

107 John McMillan, 2008 Whats in a Name? Use of the Term ‘Ombudsman’, viewed at http://ombudsman.gov.au/commonwealth/publish.nsf/Content/speeches_2008_04 on 30/5/09.

Page 35: Proposal Options for Implementing Ombudsman System in Cambodia

30 V. Options for an Ombudsman in Cambodia | Proposal for Implementation an Ombudsman

System in Cambodia

which level of government is involved.

This would mean that the Municipal Ombudsmen would overlap to some extent with a National Ombudsman, as a National Ombudsman would have jurisdiction over decisions of national Ministries, including their provincial and district offices. Therefore, it is possible that a person in a municipality with a complaint could have a choice of either going to the Municipal Ombudsman or the National Ombudsman.

Clear Government Powers

The National Ombudsman must have jurisdiction to examine and make recommendations about whether a Ministry has behaved with ‘administrative deficiency’, which is:

A decision, recommendation, act or omission which is contrary to law, was unreasonable, unjust, oppressive or discriminatory, was based on a mistake of law or fact, was wrong, involves the exercise of a discretionary power for an irrelevant purpose or irrelevant grounds, involves the failure to consider a relevant consideration, or there has been an unreasonable delay in exercising a power108.

A decision about administrative deficiency starts with an analysis of whether or not a Ministry official has acted within his or her power. Some examples are provided in the yellow box below.

The Sub-decree on Economic Land Concession No. 146 ANK/BK

The sub-decree states that an economic land concessions (ELC) can only be granted by the Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF), or by the Provincial / Municipal Governor in the case of smaller concessions (Art 29).

It also states that ELCs can only be granted on land that has been registered and classified as state private land and where there has been an economic and social impact assessment carried out (Art 4). An ELC has to achieve one of a series of prescribed purposes (Art 3) and proposals have to be evaluated according to prescribed criteria (Art 5).

An Ombudsman could find administrative deficiency in the following circumstances:

If another Ministry granted an ELC. The Ombudsman could find that it was acting outside of power, as only the MAFF or a Provincial Governor has the power to grant an ELC.

If MAFF or a Provincial Governor granted an ELC over land that was state public land. The Ombudsman could find it was acting outside of power, because Art 4 says that the land needs to be registered as state private land before an ELC can be granted.

If a Provincial Governor gave an ELC because he was ordered to by a Minister. The Ombudsman could find that he was exercising his discretionary power for an irrelevant purpose, as Art 5 sets out the only relevant criteria for deciding whether to grant an ELC, and the wishes of a Minister is not a relevant criteria.

31 V. Options for an Ombudsman in Cambodia | Proposal for Implementation an Ombudsman

System in Cambodia

The above examples show that an Ombudsman needs a clear legal and policy framework in order to know if a Ministry official is administering his/her power properly. If there were unclear or overlapping law or policy, the Ombudsman would need the power to refer the matter to the Council of Ministers for speedy clarification.

Ministries need to be especially careful that they have properly delegated power to other bodies. For example, the Ministry of Public Works and Transport may delegate its power to license cars to the Municipal Council. However, if the delegation is not authorized by law, and clearly made, then the Municipal Council will be acting outside of its power. In such a case, licenses issued by the Municipal Council would not be valid.

It is also important that the power is of the sort that can properly be delegated. Policing powers, for example, can rarely be delegated to a non-policing body because of the potential for abuses of power.

The issue of delegated power also arises in relation to Municipal Ombudsmen and sub-national levels of government. Municipalities operate with powers delegated to it by Ministries109, although in the future, it is proposed that municipalities, and other sub-national levels of government, will be assigned comprehensive functions110. Given that the municipalities currently operate on the basis of delegated power, is important for those delegations to be clear and authorized by law.

Separation of Powers

Cambodia is formally a separation of powers system, where the Legislative, Executive and Judicial powers are separate111 and act as a check-and-balance upon each other. Within this system, an Ombudsman is usually part of the Executive, but operates independently from the Ministries112. It also operates separately from the Legislature, although it reports to Parliament on its activities and observations.

The separation of powers imposes limitations on the Ombudsman’s jurisdiction. In general, an Ombudsman will not examine Minister’s actions, proceedings in

System in Cambodia

Parliament, or the actions of a Judge or a magistrate113. The Ombudsman must act according to law. If it does not then its actions and decisions can be appealed to the courts. It may be difficult for courts to decide on the legality of Ombudsman’s decisions, given that they do not yet have an extensive administrative jurisprudence.

5.1.2 Independence of an Ombudsman

An Ombudsman’s office is established so that it is free from interference. It has guaranteed resources to operate, the Ombudsman is appointed for a fixed term, and the Ombudsman cannot be removed except “for misconduct or incapacity according to a clearly defined process”114. The Ombudsman always acts so that it is independent and appears independent. An Ombudsman is usually a single person, as with the Australian Commonwealth Ombudsman and the head of the Citizens Audit Ombudsman in South Korea115.

Appointing an Ombudsman

To ensure that an Ombudsman’s office is independent, it is important that the right person is chosen. An Ombudsman should be selected in a process that honours and symbolizes neutrality. Professor Hill enumerated the following characteristics that are desirable in a person who is selected as an Ombudsman116:

o A monitoring specialist,

o Administrative expert and professional,

o Non-partisan,

o Client-centered, but not anti-administration, and

o Popularly accessible and visible.

It is vital that the Ombudsman is independent of all other parts of government. It needs to have the trust of the Ministries and the trust of the people that it will carry out its investigations without any agenda other than the improving of public administration. For this reason, the Ombudsman should not be a member of a political party and should not hold any other position while he/she is an Ombudsman.

An Ombudsman needs to be someone who powerful and likely to have some influence over Ministries, but who is also someone who is non-partisan and has integrity. In the Cambodian context, it is difficult to find someone who is both

System in Cambodia

powerful and independent, as power is often developed through connection with a political party or Ministry117.

One option is to have the Ombudsman appointed by Parliament on the recommendation of a committee. The committee could include representatives from academia and civil society. There could be minimum qualifications for the position, as there are in the South Korean ACRC model (discussed in Section IV).

Removing an Ombudsman

It is important that the Ombudsman can carry out his/her job without fear of being removed or having his/her funding cut. For this reason, the office must have guaranteed funding that is sufficient to operate. This can be expressed as a percentage of the overall budget.

Generally, legislation prescribes that an Ombudsman cannot be removed except for118:

serious misconduct, or

physical or mental incapacity.

The Head of State or the Parliament could be the ones to remove the Ombudsman in these circumstances. The parliament could be required to publish its reasons in the media for removing the Ombudsman within 14 days.

5.1.3 Powers of an Ombudsman

To carry out its work, the Ombudsman must have clear powers. These powers generally include powers to investigate, question people, see documents, prepare a report and publish that report to the public.

The primary duty of the Ombudsman is to investigate cases of poor or improper government administration. For this reason, it needs to be able to know all relevant facts and considerations underlying a Ministry official’s decision. An investigation sometimes needs to be quite wide. An example is provided below.

The Sub-decree on Economic Land Concession No. 146 ANK/BK

A person complains that a Ministry Official improperly granted an Economic Land Concession (ELC). To investigate, an Ombudsman may need to undertake the following steps:

compel the MAFF to list its reasons for granting the ELC,

question the officials who made the decision,

question officials from the company that received the ELC, and

Rights Commission; or Sect 28, Ombudsman Act 1976 Australia.

Page 39: Proposal Options for Implementing Ombudsman System in Cambodia

34 V. Options for an Ombudsman in Cambodia | Proposal for Implementation an Ombudsman

System in Cambodia

Inspect bank records to see if there have been any improper payments.

Of course, Ministries can be reluctant to cooperate with an investigation. In many Ombudsman systems, where a party refuses to cooperate with an investigation, the Ombudsman asks the courts to enforce a subpoena. However, this is unlikely to be a practical solution in Cambodia because of the delays and lack of independence of the judiciary119.

Rief observes that some Ombudsmen exercise repressive powers to directly impose a fine or imprison a non-cooperate official, without going to court120. However, in a Cambodian context this would be inappropriate because of separation of powers.

It would also be difficult for an Ombudsman in practice to carry out its own repressive powers unless it has support at the very highest levels. Oosting describes this as a practical culture of independence121. Unless there is a culture and practice of complying with the Ombudsman, a reluctant Ministry may refuse to comply with the fine or the order of imprisonment, along with the original request to provide information.

The Ombudsman needs to be able to operate without relying on cooperation from government, as there will always be times when Ministries do not want to cooperate. In Cambodia, it is important to consider how, in practice, the Ombudsman will enforce compliance with an investigation.

5.1.4. Accountability of an Ombudsman

An Ombudsman publishes openly, on an annual basis, its number of complaints received and the outcome of complaints. An Ombudsman can publish its recommendations to Parliament and in the media.

Ombudsmen generally try to persuade Ministries to adopt their recommendations for change. They cannot force Ministries to accept their recommendations. In theory, public pressure from Ombudsman’s reports encourages Ministries to adopt Ombudsman’s recommendations. However, for this public pressure to have an impact, there needs to be ‘a political and administrative system that is and wants to be and to remain a democracy governed by the rule of law, with all the appropriate

System in Cambodia

mechanisms of external accountability this entails’ 122. In other words, Ministries need to be sensitive to public opinion, and want to improve public administration to better serve the people.

The difficulty in Cambodia is that there is not a high degree of responsiveness or sensitivity by Ministries to public opinion. Kimchouen et al., observes that in Cambodia, ‘in all three government branches, loyalty to political leaders and party networks and hierarchies overrides loyalty to constituencies’123. In other words, loyalty and responsiveness to party politics and Ministerial hierarchies is the highest priority. Power is vertical, imposed from the top down, rather than legitimacy being seen to arise from public acceptance. This is more the case with the central Ministries than it is with sub-national levels of government, which to a greater extent draw their legitimacy from public opinion124.

Given this lack of sensitivity to public opinion, it is possible that Ministries will ignore Ombudsman recommendations. They may even actively resist Ombudsman investigations, especially if they are perceived to disrupt or criticise internal hierarchies or the collection of resources125.

In the Cambodian context, an Ombudsman also needs protection from defamation and disinformation laws126.

5.1.5 Accessibility of an Ombudsman

An Ombudsman investigates on the basis of complaints from the public. Its complaints procedure is free, accessible and sufficiently private. To be accessible in Cambodia, an Ombudsman’s office may have to go to the countryside and prisons, among other places, to receive complaints.

The Municipal Ombudsmen in Battambang and Siem Reap used the name “Citizen’s Office”. An evaluation of the project found that this name was not an accurate reflection of the services offered. It suggested alternatives such as ‘Complaints Receiving Office’, ‘Citizens Relations Office’ or ‘Office for Serving Citizens’. Other options include Citizen's Aide, Citizen’s Consultant, Citizen’s Advocate, Public Complaints Commission, or the National Authority for Public Complaints.

5.1.6 Procedural Fairness by an Ombudsman

An Ombudsman encourages Ministries to develop better decision-making practices, so it is important that the Ombudsman’s own procedures are fair. At a minimum, the Ombudsman listens to both sides and gives its reasons for its recommendation. The Ombudsman operates without bias or favouritism.

5.2. Two Possible Models for an Ombudsman

5.2.1. National Ombudsman

One option is to have a National Ombudsman sitting alongside individual Municipal Ombudsmen. The National Ombudsman would be given jurisdiction over actions and omissions of Ministries in Phnom Penh and their provincial and district operations.

There is already a regime for Municipal Ombudsmen in Battambang and Siem Reap. Starting in 2009, these offices are being expanded to other municipalities. The Prakas127 already gives municipal ombudsmen jurisdiction over municipal officials. Their jurisdiction could be expanded so that they have jurisdiction over all government decisions within the municipality, regardless of whether the decision has been made by a commune council official, a municipal official, or a provincial official in a line ministry.

The National Ombudsman and the Municipal Ombudsmen would be independent of each other, although they would establish regular annual forums to compare their respective experiences and challenges, and would cooperate and assist each other where possible.

A National Ombudsman would be appointed for a fixed term of five years, on the recommendation of a committee. The committee would be composed on members of civil society and academia and would choose among candidates that met the following qualifications:

A senior academic for eight years,

a judge or lawyer for 10 years,

a local Ombudsman for four years, or

a person of high social reputation with a knowledge of administration who is recommended by a non-government organization.

The Parliament or Prime Minister would appoint the National Ombudsman and could remove the National Ombudsman for misconduct or incapacity, however, the

Page 42: Proposal Options for Implementing Ombudsman System in Cambodia

37 V. Options for an Ombudsman in Cambodia | Proposal for Implementation an Ombudsman

System in Cambodia

Ombudsman must be given a chance to respond to allegations and the reasons for decision must be published in the media. The Director would choose the staff working in the office. The office would be given minimum guaranteed resources, expressed as a percentage of the budget.

The National Ombudsman would have extensive powers, including the right to investigate and inspect records. If a Ministry or individual did not comply with a request, the National Ombudsman could apply to the court to impose a fine or penalty of imprisonment.

The National Ombudsman would make recommendations to the Ministries, give its report to the Parliament, and publish its reports in the media, with protection from defamation and disinformation laws. The National Ombudsman would give an account of its activities at least once a year to the Parliament, including a list of complaints received and the outcome (with names removed to protect confidentiality). The report would be public and made available to all media outlets.

The National Ombudsman could receive complaints directly or start its own investigation. It would not need any permission before beginning an investigation. Ministries would be encouraged to have their own individual complaints procedures, however, if they had not yet established one, then they would forward complaints they receive directly to the Ombudsman. People could complain to the Ombudsman if they are unhappy with the way the Ministry has handled their complaint. The National Ombudsman would regularly tour countryside areas and prisons in order to take complaints.

The National Ombudsman’s office, as well as the offices of the Municipal Ombudsmen, would be located in “neutral” offices, outside of a Ministry.

5.2.2 Hybrid National Ombudsman and Anti Corruption Unit

A second option would be to establish a combination Ombudsman and Anti Corruption Unit. This is similar to the hybrid institution, the ACRC in South Korea, although it is proposed that a single person would head the Cambodian body.

The Municipal Ombudsmen could be independent of the national ombudsman and Anti Corruption Unit or become branches of the national body.

This hybrid body would have jurisdiction over allegations of corruption and complaints against Ministries and their provincial and district operations. Allegations of corruption could be made against private individuals and companies where they

Page 43: Proposal Options for Implementing Ombudsman System in Cambodia

38 | Proposal for Implementation an Ombudsman System in Cambodia

involved a Ministry or Ministry official.

However, before a hybrid body could be formed, the Anti-Corruption Unit would need to be changed so that it does not need the permission of the Council of Ministers before starting an investigation.

The Anti Corruption Unit could be given expanded powers, including the right to investigate and inspect records. Like the proposal for a National Ombudsman, if a Ministry or individual did not comply with a request, the hybrid body could apply to a court to impose a fine or penalty of imprisonment.

The head of the hybrid body would be appointed for a fixed term of five years, on the recommendation of a committee. A selection process would be similar to that proposed for the National Ombudsman, as would the procedures governing removal of the head. The head would choose the staff working in the office. The office would be given minimum guaranteed resources.

At present, the Anti-Corruption Unit’s reports are made directly to the Prime Minister and the Deputy Prime Minister. This would need to be changed so that its reports are provided directly to the whole Parliament, and it is possible for it to publish its reports in the media, with protection from disinformation and defamation laws. Unlike now, the hybrid body would be required to give an account of its activities at least once a year to the Parliament, including a list of complaints received and the outcome (with names removed to protect confidentiality). The report would be public and available to all media outlets.

The Anti Corruption Unit can already receive complaints directly. Ministries should also be required to send complaints of corruption to the hybrid body. The Anti Corruption Unit could also regularly tour countryside areas and prisons in order to take complaints.

The Anti Corruption Unit is already located in a neutral area, but the hybrid body would need to be re-named.

5.3. Final Remark

A functioning complaint system could play an important role in increasing the trust of people in the administration and government of Cambodia. The requirements would be that this institution:

can operate free from political influence,

is really independent, and

does not treat any person better or worse than any other.

As discussed above, in creating an Ombudsman’s office in Cambodia, several things

Page 44: Proposal Options for Implementing Ombudsman System in Cambodia

39 | Proposal for Implementation an Ombudsman System in Cambodia

need to be considered. Firstly, it needs to be well thought-out if there is a person who is both independent enough and powerful enough to act as an Ombudsman. Generally powerful people in Cambodia are strongly aligned with the ruling party. The Ombudsman needs to be powerful enough to influence Ministries, and yet independent enough so that he or she is willing to criticise government action.

Secondly, Ministries have to be responsive to Ombudsmen recommendations. An Ombudsman is only useful to the extent that a Ministry is willing to act in the public interest and change its practices. At times, the recommendations of an Ombudsman may directly challenge the power and practices of powerful people within a Ministry. Ministries have to be willing to change, even if a change will mean that it becomes less powerful.

Thirdly, the office of the Ombudsman needs to be strong enough so that it cannot easily be disbanded or its funding cut. There will always be occasions when the government is unwilling to face the political cost of its own wrongdoing. The government needs to commit to setting up a strong institution that continues even when it is critical of government.

Finally and most importantly, the Ombudsman needs to be able to investigate, even in the face of Ministry opposition. But the courts in Cambodia may not be independent or efficient enough to support Ombudsman investigations.

It is important that these factors are considered before an Ombudsman’s office is created in Cambodia. While an Ombudsman can be a powerful tool for improving government administration, it also needs to be created at the right time and in the right way, otherwise it can further erode people’s trust in government.

Assessment on the current Situation of Complaint System against

Administration in Cambodia

1.1 National Level

Dispute Settlement Office in the Ministry of Commerce

The Dispute Settlement Office in the Department of Legal Affairs of the Ministry of Commerce was set up in 2008 and at the time of the interviews was still under construction. The goal of the ministry is to establish a complaint office for businesspeople who are not in agreement with decisions of the ministry.

The office is located in the Ministry of Commerce, but there are no signs to indicate where one can find the office.

The office has two personnel, the Office Chief and his deputy.

It is still unclear how complaints are handled, and corresponding regulations are being drafted.

Prior to the construction of the Dispute Settlement Office, complaints went directly to the Cabinet of the Ministry, which forwarded the complaints to the respective departments. The department would investigate the case and tried to find a solution in conversation with the register of the complaint. If this was not possible, the case would be presented with a report and suggestion to the Minister for a decision.

There are no exact statistics about the number of complaints, but the estimate is 10 large and 20 smaller cases since 2000. However most of the cases complaint has been received by the cabinet of the ministry.

General Department of General Inspectorate in the Ministry of Interior

The General Department of General Inspectorate in MoI often operates as an alternative dispute resolution bureau. It investigates disputes and tries to work with the parties to find an acceptable resolution through mediation and conciliation. Land dispute cases make up a significant and increasing percentage of the General Inspectorate's caseload. The Department gets support from USAID through East West Management Institute (EWMI) in order to improve the Inspectorate's ability to effectively investigate and mediate land dispute.

Besides this role, the inspectorate is in charge of solving internal problems in the ministry as well.

According to the sub-decree on organizing and functioning of the ministry of interior

General Inspection Department of Ministry of Industry, Mines and Energy

Page 50: Proposal Options for Implementing Ombudsman System in Cambodia

45 Annex 1: pre-assessment on ombudsman and other complaint system in Cambodia |

Proposal for Implementation an Ombudsman System in Cambodia

The General Inspection Department of the Ministry of Industry, Mines and Energy (MIME) has two main fields of responsibility: it is responsible for the annual internal auditing and is the receiving office for internal complaints.

The method of handling internal complaints is regulated in the MIME as it is in all the other ministries: the complaints are verified by the inspection department, and following a hearing with both parties, the department delivers a recommendation which the minister finally decides upon.

In difficult cases, a working group is assigned to investigate the case, and if necessary, the Disciplinary Council is convened.

There are neither numbers nor reports on the number of internal complaints each year or their content.

Complaints from Businesspeople

Businesspeople who want to complain about ministerial decisions like the distribution of licenses have two possibilities: They address their complaints to the respective department that is responsible for the licensing. The department must verify the complaints, issue a recommendation and present it to the minister for his decision. Should this process touch on multiple ministries then an inter-ministerial group is convened in order to verify the complaint.

In addition, a business licensing complaints hotline is available to businesspeople. This hotline has been unique in Cambodia for some time. Businesspeople can register their complaints through this hotline without long waiting times or administrative processes. They call the hotline and give the necessary information such as name of the business, contact person who is registering the complaint, and the reason for the complaint. If the hotline officer thinks that the complaint is justified, he forwards it to the relevant office.

Although the hotline is an initiative of the MIME, it receives complaints relating to any business licenses or inspections conducted by any ministry or government agency.

The hotline has been available for about one year. A report about the number of complaints registered on the hotline, how the cases were addressed, and the satisfaction of the customers, is not yet available.

Working Group for the Development of a Police Act for the Cambodian National Police

A new police act has been in development in the Department of National Police since June 2008, which would revise the structure and responsibilities of the National Police. In addition, a code of conduct and the definition of disciplinary offences are being developed.

In conjunction with this new police act, a process is also being developed that gives citizens the possibility to complain about the police in the cases of improper behavior. It should ensure “that the members of the public can have confidence in the honesty and integrity of the National Police128.”

The exact procedure and what offices will be responsible for which complaints will be discussed throughout 2009, but it is possible according to the statements of the international expert who is guiding this work that a police ombudsman would be established.

Ministry of National Assembly and Senate Relation and Inspection

The ministry played an important role to assist the government to conduct inspection on the performance of the other government ministries or institutions in order to ensure accountability and transparency for the government and people. According to the sub decree on the organizing and functioning of MONASRI, the government provides a full power to general department of inspection to conduct inspection and mediate the complaint against administration.

For solving complaint against administration, one department called department to receive and investigate complaints is responsible to receive compliant from all source on the issues against administration to take investigation and solve by reconciliation mechanism. Most of the case, the ministry has no power to decide but they form the file with recommendations to prime minister for decision. The procedure to solve the case is, generally, the same like other ministry or government institutions did. When the case comes, the department makes clarification and identify whether the case is in their mandate or not and then they will send to the relevant government institutions for solving and asking for report. Most of the case that the ministry received is land issue. So far there is no clear statistic of number of the compliant in the ministry.

Proposal for Implementation an Ombudsman System in Cambodia

Concerning to the inspection, one department is responsible to make annual plan and conduct the plan to conduct inspection to the government institutions. Actually, the inspection work, MONASRI has clear procedure and plan. The will go directly to the ministry or government institution for checking irregularity of government institution performance, in particular, expenditure.

Anti Corruption Unit

The Anti Corruption Unit (ACU) was founded in 2006. It is the successor to the Entity against the Corruption Activities, which was established in 1999 and according to statements by the ACU, was largely powerless.

The legal basis for the ACU is Sub Decree Nr. 84 ANK date 22/08/2006. In this Sub Decree, the roles and responsibilities of the ACU are preventing corruption issues, enforcing laws and regulations, and encouraging the citizens to participate in the fight against corruption.

The ACU office is located somewhat outside of the center of Phnom Penh in Khan Russei Keo; the building has clear signage and in the entrance there is a large, white postbox in which letters for the ACU can be deposited.

The work of the ACU has three main focuses: 1. The development of initiatives to avoid corruption, to clear up individual and collective cases of corruption, and to encourage the citizens to participate in the fight against corruption.

The most spectacular cases since their foundation: the so-called Water Festival Case and the Hennessy Case. The Water Festival Case dealt with the illegal importing of right-hand-drive cars from Thailand, which was only possible due to corresponding bribes being paid to the respective officials. The Hennessy Case was similar: a wine importer bought the favor of several officials with bribes, and as a way of saying thanks, the officials did not bother to follow the legal regulations for the import of wine. Both cases were brought before courts by the ACU.

In the case that they receive complaints from citizens, the ACU proceeds in the following fashion: first they check whether they are responsible for the case. If so, they verify the documentation and ascertain whether there is enough evidence of corruption. If the evidence is sufficient, the ACU obtains authorization from the Council of Ministers to investigate the case. As soon as they receive this authorization, the investigation begins. When the investigation has been completed, the resulting report is delivered either to the Prime Minister or the Deputy Prime Minister. The Prime Minister or Deputy Prime Minister then makes the final decision as to which measures should be taken.

Page 53: Proposal Options for Implementing Ombudsman System in Cambodia

48 Annex 1: pre-assessment on ombudsman and other complaint system in Cambodia |

Proposal for Implementation an Ombudsman System in Cambodia

The ACU employs a total of 15 lawyers, who are responsible for investigating cases of corruption. The ACU took at a number of ads on TV in order to inform citizens about the institution. The exact numbers are not available as to how many cases the ACU has investigated and how many cases resulted in corruption charges. There are also no publicly released figures in regards to the use of the White Box in the ACU office.

National Authority of Land Conflict Resolution

The National Authority of Land Conflict Resolution (NALCR) was established by Royal Decree No. NS/RD/0206/067, dated from February 26, 2006. Within just six months of its opening, the NALCR registered 116 complaints from citizens and institutions of which 79 were forwarded to the Secretariat of the National Cadastral Committee for examination. At the end of 2008, the number of registered complaints had reached 1500.

The job of the NALCR is to check the complaints of citizens or institutions make suggestions and forward these to the respective offices and ministries. According to article 3 and 5 of the sub-decree on the organization and functioning of the secretariat of national authority for land disputes resolution the role and function of the NALCR are to solve and coordinate all land disputes; the general secretary of NALCR has the power to conduct investigation and inspection after received complaints and to issue instruction to block the place where there has conflict after received complaints.

The sub-decree N. 65 A.N.K/BK mentioned as well on the process of the case registration and the case solution. The processes are:

1. Receive and register cases according to the place of the complaints

2. Prepare cases

3. Input in land conflict case database

4. Ask the two parties for clarification

5. Classify and prioritize case

6. Collect evidences

7. Cooperate with relevant government stakeholders to investigate in the place of conflict

8. First report to the General Secretary for decision

9. Make summary of explainary note of both matter of law and matter of fact with first recommendations to superior for decision

10. Send the decision of NALCR to MLMUPC for implementation

But the question of whether the suggestions of the NALCR are adopted and how the cases are solved individually cannot be determined from the reports. It is also not apparent in whose favor the cases were decided or how long the process took.

Proposal for Implementation an Ombudsman System in Cambodia

views and opinions including its proposed measures for the highest decision by Samdech the Prime Minister.

Cambodian Human Rights Committee

The committee has been established since 1998 by the government of Cambodia. It works in the area of promotion of human rights and assists the government in the area of human rights reviewing and clarification. The main function of the committee is to protect human rights, enforce human rights improvement, and to provide training on human rights. The committee is a government human rights body where it works is to assist government in the area of human rights.

The committee is responsible to as well to receive human rights violation cases from the public. But the committee is not a body to solve the human rights violation case. The committee just does their coordination and orientation work to assist the public complaint to line institutions who has the competence to deal the problem. The process of the dealing human rights cases is quiet similar to other government institution. After receiving the case, the committee will study and identify the competent authority who is responsible to deal that problem by sending them report with some recommendations on the how to deal the case.

Beside the receiving the cases from the public, the committee has the rights to study and review other human rights violation published in the newspaper or others mass media and make the report with recommendation to the competent authority to deal the case. The committee will make intervention directly to the responsible ministry or institution to take action for solution. So far there is no clear information on the human rights violation case that the committee has been received.

New Cambodian Human Rights Commission initiative

There is a new initiative from both government and civil society organization to establish a new National Cambodian Human Rights Commission which is an independent body for the national body to deal with the human rights aspect in the country. Actually this initiative has been influenced by the ASEAN human rights body who want to have an independent human rights institution in Cambodia working in protection human rights of the citizens.

The idea has been initiated since 2005 and the draft legal framework for the commission has been drafted and reviewed many time by both government and civil society organizations. So far the draft legal framework is in the hand of the civil society to review. There is no clear information on when the legal framework for establishment of the commission will be finalized since both government and civil society is compliant each other on the delay of the development of the legal framework.

The commission will be an independent human rights body for Cambodia in the future to deal with the human rights issues. The commission will work like other independent human rights commission of other country in the world in the

Page 56: Proposal Options for Implementing Ombudsman System in Cambodia

51 Annex 1: pre-assessment on ombudsman and other complaint system in Cambodia |

Proposal for Implementation an Ombudsman System in Cambodia

framework of promotion and improvement of human rights as required by the United Nation human rights committee.

1.2 Sub-National Level

Ombudsman in Battambang

The Ombudsman in Battambang was elected in summer 2005 for a period of three years, based on the Prakas 790 on the Structure and Management of the Ombudsman's Office in Srok Battambang, Battambang Province of the Ministry of Interior.

The ombudsman is part of the new administrative structure at district level in Battambang. He has the task to oversee the One Window Service Office (OWSO) and the other offices of the district administration. He has to be present in the OWSO for at least 12 hours each week.

The ombudsman is “a neutral representative of citizen” who must seek an acceptable resolution for citizens and enterprises. To achieve this goal the ombudsman has the following powers to conciliate: He has the right to insight all relevant documents of the related staff and; if the normal intend to conciliate between citizens and administrative staff is not successful, he is asked to send a dossier with recommendations to the District Governor. Complaints on the District Governors performance shall be sent to the Provincial Governor to settle.129

The citizen's Office in Battambang is located within the district administration in the first floor. It is neither easy accessible nor visible, a clear signposting is missing.

This monitoring from the ombudsman of the OWSO has proven successful by the local authorities but the number of citizens who have come to the ombudsman to complain about the administration is vanishing small. In the course of three years, exactly 2 cases were registered and solved. However there were a number of cases has been complained by the people as well but the complaints are out the competency of the office.

1.3 NGOs

Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) in Cambodia

According to the OHCHR, it is being flooded with inquiries and complaints. Cambodian citizens as well as NGOs turn to the OHCHR requesting legal guidance and assistance in matters of dispute. According to the OHCHR, the number is only increasing. The number one category for some time has been land conflicts. The OHCHR also receives complaints in regard to domestic violence, the situation in prisons, and from citizens who have had their basic human rights abused (freedom to demonstrate, freedom of opinion, etc.).

The OHCHR is not a complaint office, which advises or represents individual citizens. It does however give individuals information about which NGOs they could turn to 129

Prakas 790 of Ministry of Interior

Page 57: Proposal Options for Implementing Ombudsman System in Cambodia

52 Annex 1: pre-assessment on ombudsman and other complaint system in Cambodia |

Proposal for Implementation an Ombudsman System in Cambodia

with their concerns. Still, the actual mandate of the OHCHR is, in conjunction with the administration and government agencies, to improve the legal security of the citizens and to reduce abuses of human rights. The OHCHR aims to work truthfully with the administration, but it also supports NGOs, which address the previously mentioned issues. In interviews, representatives of the OHCHR stressed repeatedly that the citizens’ trust in official government complaint offices is very low. Based on their experience, the citizens therefore are more likely to turn to independent NGOs or institutes with their complaints.

Cambodian Human Rights and Development Association (Adhoc)

On average, 300 citizens from across Cambodia look for help from ADHOC each month. At the top of the list are domestic violence (about 100 per month), human rights abuses (40-50 each month) and land disputes (30-40 each month). According to ADHOC, the numbers are tending to increase.

ADHOC has no mandate as an NGO to deal with official offices in regard to the complaints they register. It can, however, advise the affected parties. In larger conflicts such as land conflicts with local authorities, the ADHOC supports citizens through offering legal advice, conducting targeted publicity work, and other measures.

The Republic of Korea government was established on August 15, 1948. The President is the head of state and represents the state in international affairs. The Prime Minister is the principal executive assistant to the President. The executive branch, headed by the President, consists of the Prime Minister, the Cabinet, 15 executive ministries, and 16 independent agencies including the Jeju Special Self-Governing Province. The President performs his executive functions through the Cabinet made up of 15 to 30 members. The Cabinet is presided over by the President, who is solely responsible for deciding all important government policies. In addition to the Cabinet, the President has several agencies under his direct control to formulate and carry out national policies: the Board of Audit and Inspection of Korea, the National Intelligence Service, and the Broadcasting and Communications Commission. The heads of these organizations are appointed by the President, but the presidential appointment of the Chairman of the Board of Audit and Inspection is subject to the approval of the National Assembly (see annex 2 on organization chart of Republic of Korea).

Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission (ACRC)

The Anti-Corruption & Civil Rights Commission was launched on February 29, 2008

corruption by a single organization in a speedier and more convenient manner. ACRC

will overhaul a legal and institutional framework to offer more convenient and

efficient public service to the people, resolve people's grievances and as swiftly as

possible, and spread a culture of integrity throughout the society to create a more

advanced country where civil rights are fully respected and rule of law is abided by

and 17.7% increase in complaints handled.

Citizen’s Audit Ombudsman (CAO)

Citizen’s audit ombudsman has been introduced since 1997 and it has been integrated with Transparent-Contract Ombudsman in 2007 in order to make administration small and more effective in public services delivery. CAO has been set up to protect citizens against violation of rights, abuses of powers, negligence, unfair decision, malpractices and maladministration. It tries to improve public administrative procedure through audit. The institution is based in Seoul and other 16 metropolitan cities across Korea. CAO plays an very important role to protect rights and improve transparency through auditing and monitoring according to citizen’s perspective. CAO comprises of 5 ombudsmen which are selected from the appointment from the Mayer of Seoul after screening of candidates who freely applies from the public. The 5 ombudsmen will be supported by 10 advisors who are appointed from the academic and legal field. Eight assistants will assist the institution as a secretariat of the institution. The five ombudsmen will be selected based on professional ethics, experiences officer bearer with a minimum of two years services, and not permitted to hold additional appointment and office.

The jurisdiction of the institution is covered on local government and autonomous district within Seoul to protect citizens against violation of rights, abuses of powers, negligence, unfair decision, malpractices and maladministration. It tries to improve public administrative procedure. There are three main functions of the institution which are:

1. Citizen’s audit request system

The delegation in the Seoul Metropolitan

Page 67: Proposal Options for Implementing Ombudsman System in Cambodia

62 | Proposal for Implementation an Ombudsman System in Cambodia

The body allows citizen to request for auditing against discriminatory practices violation of rights, abuses of power negligence, unfair decisions, malpractices and maladministration of the public administration. There are two kinds of requests: (1) for residents’ audit, the request should be jointly singed by more than 200 people in the autonomous district; and (2) for Citizens’ audit, the request should be jointly signed by more than 100 people in the city or corporation. When the request has been accepted, then the deliberation process is starting by the Audit Advisory Committee which composes of 12 people who got appointed from the municipal government from academic and legal field. After deliberation process, the audit process will start by Ombudsman Operation Committee to investigate petition, invest for data and call for correction. The result the audit will then start to measure implementation by publicly dissemination through internet and report to Mayer and city assemblymen.

2. Monitoring contract implementation

It conducts monitoring contract implementation to all public agencies and relevant corporation who get the contract from the public administration to construct or provide services or supply materials. The monitoring will start from the beginning of the contract to the end of the implementation of the contract in order to make all contract implementation transparent, accountable and fair.

3. Civil Petition Jury System

It is a place where the petitioner/citizens can request to the system for solution. The case will then be studied and investigated by Petition Juries which composes of ombudsman and outsourced experts to draw a reasonable solution.

The implementation of the three functions has been noted high satisfaction from the citizens in Seoul Metropolitan. It is a good mechanism to monitor the implementation or performance of the public administration accountably and transparently and closed to the citizens.

Ministry of Public Administration and Security (MOPAS)

The delegation got a very warm welcome from vice minister of MOPAS and other

officers in the ministry. After the welcome remark from the vice minister, the

presentation on the public services and ethics in the Korean civil services has been

presented to our

delegation.

MOPAS has been

integrated with four

institutions together in

June 2008 in order to

make public sector small

and effective. MOPAS

endeavors to effectively

improve the government

organization and

personnel as part of the

total cost management

process. Within a

Page 68: Proposal Options for Implementing Ombudsman System in Cambodia

63 | Proposal for Implementation an Ombudsman System in Cambodia

framework of decentralization, we provide administrative and financial support to the

local government to achieve greater local autonomy. Furthermore, in preparation for

the future, MOPAS actively pursues the low-carbon green growth strategy focusing

efforts on bike riding campaigns and green informatization, creating a new

development paradigm to raise the quality of life. There are two important roles of

MOPAS which are National administration by improving government reform,

deregulation and public participation; and public personnel policy by improving fair

recruitment and human resource development.

One successful work of MOPAS is to provide efficient management of government

organization and human resource for the Korean civil servant by

Restructuring the organization from 22 national government bodies to 17 bodies and eliminating 25 bureaus, 219 divisions, 81 agencies, and 119 administrations units at local level

Reshuffling officer from 604,783 to 601,356 at national level and from 282,476 to 272,090 at local level, and

Abolishing advisory committee from 530 to 273 in both national and sub-national levels.

Besides that, MOPAS played a very important role to make a global impression on

the digital Korea where MOPAS provided extended support to the citizens without

online access. MOPAS provided greater local government autonomy through

communication and coordination by using high IT throughout the country.

The civil service system in Korea has been said clearly the Korean constitution and

civil servants serve the public and are accountable to the public. The Korean civil

servant divided into 7 categories according to the characteristic of job. Civil servant

is under a strict rule of civil servant act and code of conduct for civil servant where all

should respect all the rules of the government otherwise they will be punished by the

Central Disciplinary Committee.

The anti-corruption system has been said clearly in the Code of conduct of the Civil

Servant where all should be followed:

The Code of Conduct for Public Servants which is:

Reporting Corruption where anyone can report the case of corruption to the ACRC

and ACRC transfers the case to the relevant organization (BAI, Prosecutor’s Office)

when it needs further investigation

Performance of Duties with Impartiality Prohibition of Receiving Excessive Profits

Prohibition of Solicitation with reference to Personal Benefits

Prohibition of Preferential Treatment

Restriction on Conflict of Interest and etc.

Restriction on receiving money and articles

for congratulations and condolences

Prohibition of taking bribes for favor given

Prohibition of private utilization of the

objects for public use and etc.

b. Civil Society Organization

Korean Human Rights Organization People’s Solidarity for Participatory Democracy (PSPD)

PSPD was founded in 1994 by more than 200 members, the People‟s Solidarity for

Participatory Democracy (PSPD) is a civil organization dedicated to promoting

justice and human rights in Korean society through the participation of the people.

PSPD has been serving as a watchdog against the abuse of power. It has developed

various activities to bring justice and democracy to many areas in our society: the

PSPD evokes public awareness through campaigns, questioning social and political

activities, filing administrative and public litigations, and petitioning legislation. The

Civil Actions for 2000 General Election (the CAGE) and the Minority Shareholders‟

Campaign might be said to be the most successful activities. PSPD has developed and

coordinated a wide range of activities to bring about a systematic reform and to

suggest counterproposals to various government policies and agendas. In this

process, the PSPD has regarded independence and consistency as the most important

principles of being a watchdog of power.

PSPD is comprised of 11 departments/centers where each center is responsible

according to field of monitoring of the performance of government. Each department

is composed of executive committee members, of whom some are progressive

scholars, attorneys, accountants, etc. There are 11 centers who are responsible to

monitor the performance of government. Among them the main centers are:

Center for Judiciary Watch monitors power abuse in the judiciary and provides reform plans,

Center for National Assembly Watch contributes to participatory democracy through continuous watch of and civil participation in national politics,

Center for Tax Reform aims to promote fairness and equality in taxation,

Center for Government Administration Watch works on making the society and the government transparent and accountable while stamping out corruption and frauds,

performance of the public sector officers in many fields, especially in the legal and

judicial reform and performance. PSPD is independent NGOs where the financial

support is from their own member contribution.

Lesson learned

The organization of the study tour is a good opportunity for all relevant government stakeholders to have chance to discuss and share information, knowledge and challenges where their institutions has been done and faced. Information sharing is a key for all state reform where each actor in the reform sector should understand each other and try to go together for challenging the reform process. It is a best experience where the high level governmental officials met, talked, and shared information to each other. Such a good organization should be considered to prepare more in the future in order to provide more opportunities to all relevant reform actors sharing information since they are sometime very busy with their own agenda and they don’t have such a best time for sharing. From the study tour, many information and knowledge had been gained by the delegation as follow: Korean Human Rights Commission is an independent government body which

received direct financial support from the government to be responsible to request for the submission of relevant information and materials to concerned entities and professionals subject to investigation; visit to and investigation of detention or protective facilities, if necessary; filing of Commission’s opinions on human rights issues with the courts and the Constitutional Court; and submission of annual reports on Commission’s activities and human rights situations to the President of the Republic of Korea and the National Assembly. The body is lead by mixture commission from different institution which is comprised of 11 commissioners (a Chairperson, 3 Standing Commissioners and 7 Non-Standing Commissioners). Among the 11 commissioners, 4 shall be elected by the National Assembly, 4 shall be nominated by the President of Korea, and 3 shall be nominated by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and then approved by the President of Korea. The term of the Commissioners is for 3 years and can serve for up to 2 terms. The Commission compulsorily consists of at least 4 female commissioners.

The ombudsman system has been introduced quiet long time since 1994 in Korea. It took around five year to introduce the ombudsman system more understanding among citizens. For instant, in order to make easier to understand from citizens, the ombudsman system in Seoul metropolitan added “Audit” term in front of ombudsman system. Then it becomes to “Citizens’ Audit Ombudsman”. It would be good al well for the Cambodian context to consider.

Korean Ombudsman is an independent government institution who has full power to bring citizen’s voice for consideration even they get the financial support from the government.

Composition of the member of the ombudsman has been selected from different voice of citizen which is from government, civil society, and parliament in the majority selection.

The Citizens’ audit ombudsman in Seoul is a part of Citizen Satisfaction Bureau of Seoul metropolitan. However the office is independent from the both the bureau and Seoul metropolitan. The office plays a very important role to monitor and check the performance of public administration in order to make public services more transparency, accountability, and closed to citizens.

Page 71: Proposal Options for Implementing Ombudsman System in Cambodia

66 | Proposal for Implementation an Ombudsman System in Cambodia

The composition of the Citizens’ Audit Ombudsman is come from academic profession which is selected from all public with high qualified persons. The ombudsman will be then selected by the committee in the Seoul metropolitan and appointed by the Mayer of Seoul. 15 experts from high academic professions have been selected to assist the ombudsman.

The result of the ombudsman decision has been published wisely in the public through many channels of mass media, especially internet and even reporting to the Seoul assemblymen. All decision has been made to be heart by all high level of politician in order to make the decision more strong enough for enforcement.

Korean Ombudsman System is trying to integrated government institution that has similar functions together in order to have a single place for citizens to access their rights. Among them we can see that the institution working in fighting corruption, civil rights violation, and maladministration has been integrated together into one national institution from national level to sub-national level.
