Responsible Business Conduct in Cambodia – A Textbook

Mares, Radu LU and Young, Sokphea (2024)

The primary targets of the textbook are law schools and business schools though it might prove relevant also to political science, sociology, and media faculties.

The textbook was designed as an introduction to RBC at a basic to intermediary level given the novelty of the topic for most readers. Our overriding aim was to offer a concise, but thoughtful and informative presentation of RBC and human rights issues in the Cambodian context. A key consideration was the intended audience: teachers, researchers and students at university level in Cambodia. We also aimed to make the textbook accessible for practitioners and others seeking an authoritative introduction to RBC and human rights in the Cambodian context. The primary targets of the textbook are law schools and business schools though it might prove relevant also to political science, sociology, and media faculties.

The textbook is divided into five parts. Part One provides an introduction to RBC, which is still a new topic in Cambodia and many other countries. It explains the essential aspects of RBC and provide examples of how business impacts on human rights. Part Two explains the principles and standards for RBC and focuses on international and national frameworks that apply to businesses and states. Part Three focuses on actors – private and public ones – that work with and promote RBC. Part Four provides more in-depth applications of RBC in a few industries and for selected human rights. Lastly, Part Five offers insights into the broader context of RBC and some cross-cutting issues that will affect RBC in coming years.
