Capital punishment in Cambodia is prohibited by the Constitution of the country. Cambodia abolished the death penalty in 1989.[1]
Cambodia is one of only two ASEAN countries (the other being the Philippines) to have abolished capital punishment.[2] [3]
The Constitution of the Kingdom of Cambodia (1993) at Art. 32 states:[1]
In 1995, First Prime Minister Prince Norodom Ranariddh made calls for capital punishment by calling for murderers and drug traffickers to be killed by the State.[4]
In 2019, Prime Minister Hun Sen said that he was considering introducing capital punishment for people who rape children, but he said it would only happen after a nationwide referendum.[5][6][7] A couple days after this announcement, Hun Sen shifted his stance.[8][9]
