International Law and Cambodia's Global entrance

International Law only reaches its heyday after the Second World War. The calculate of International-Law existence is that it would reduce possible interstate wars, as well as promoting world peace and security and economic growth. Unfortunately, up until now, International Law is a relatively new word here in Cambodia, so what our expectation of stability and economic benefits is.

A past few decades, we have seen Cambodia's quite active regional and global participations; memberships to relationship of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean), World Trade Organization, World Intellectual property Organization, and other regional organizations and political/economic gatherings in the regional and global levels, as well as signatory to other international legal instruments. The purposes of these participations and other high-level conference are: "stability and economic growth."

Practically, looking into aspects of Cambodia's International Law, will this Cambodia's foreign participations be a formula to reach stability and economic growth? International Law is a relatively new word here in Cambodia. "Relatively new" means that: only indubitably few government officials and the collective have ever acquainted with what we merely call International Law.

As an Ll.M candidate with focus on International Law, I come to know that no more than two Cambodian universities offer this course, with quite an acceptable quality. Moreover, academic materials and professors are all the time inadequate. Most importantly, International Law is tremendously far from interests of young students.

With the aforementioned personal evidences, I do feel that one of the answers to why Cambodia is lacking behind other regional countries and other countries around the world, in single in term of economic benefits, is that we are in ultimate lack of International Law human resources. ultimate lack of International human resources means that we can not get what we deserve in the negotiation table, our national interests are distorted by international instruments with other countries, our diplomacy is stigmatized, and so the interests for the Cambodian publics.
