Released in August 2011

The newly-enacted Sub-Decree on "the Management of the Sending of Cambodian Workers Abroad through Private Recruitment Agencies" (hereinafter Sub-Decree 190) is a dismal failure from the perspective of migrant worker rights. It not only fails to expand legal protections for Cambodians who migrate overseas to work, it actually marks a regression. When compared to the law it superseded, Sub-Decree 57 of 1997, worker protections have been rolled back in many key areas.
