The 5th ASEAN Chief Justices’ Roundtable on Environment will take place in the Cambodian cultural province of Siem Reap in November this year, said Mr. Chiv Keng, Vice President of the Supreme Court of Cambodia.
This regional event will reflect what the ASEAN judiciaries have achieved in environmental protection after the 4th ASEAN Chief Justices’ Roundtable on Environment in Vietnam last year, said Mr. Chiv Keng after the 2nd ASEAN Judicial Working Group on Environment Meeting held on June 26-27, 2015 in Phnom Penh.
This is part of the Asian Development Bank’s continuing efforts to enhance the ASEAN judiciaries’ knowledge of the legal, economic, and scientific aspects of the regions’ common environmental concerns and to empower them to better enforce environmental laws, increase access to environmental justice, and adjudicate environmental cases.
