The Cambodian League for the Promotion and Defense of Human Rights (Khmer: សម្ព័ន្ធខ្មែរជំរឿន និងការពារសិទ្ធិមនុស្ស, romanized: sampnth khmer chomruen ning karpar setthimnous; French: Ligue cambodgienne de défense des droits de l'homme), commonly known by its French acronym LICADHO (/liːˈkɑːdoʊ/; Khmer: លីកាដូ[liːkaːɗoː]; French:[likado]), is a national Cambodian human rights non-governmental organization (NGO) established in 1992. It is based in Phnom Penh and also operates 12 provincial offices.[1] LICADHO's activities focus on monitoring human rights violations, providing legal representation to victims of human rights abuses and providing humanitarian assistance to victims of human rights abuses. The organization also monitors 18 Cambodian prisons and has specialized programs for the protection of women's rights and children's rights.[1] LICADHO is regularly cited in the Cambodian media for stories on local human rights issues.[2][3][4] The organization has also received international coverage for its work to combat human trafficking[5][6] and prisons,[7] and has been particularly vocal in highlighting Cambodia's land-grabbing crisis since 2003.[8][9] Current LICADHO director Naly Pilorge has authored a number of op-eds in major international media outlets publicizing the human rights situation in Cambodia.[10][11][12][13][14] LICADHO was the sole Cambodian rights organization invited to testify at a 2013 US House of Representatives subcommittee hearing on Cambodia's "looming political and social crisis".[15]
