Cambodia, Russia sign extradition treaty
Ros Chanveasna Friday, 03 February 2017

Cambodia and Russia on Wednesday signed an extradition treaty in a bid to prevent cross-border crimes and human trafficking.

Justice Ministry spokesperson Kim Santepheap told Khmer Times yesterday that the deal was signed when Justice Minister Ang Vong Vathana visited Moscow earlier this week to meet his Russian counterpart Alexander Konovalov.

Both countries discussed criminal extradition, prisoner exchanges as well as mutual assistance on criminal matters.
“So far, both leaders have reached an agreement and signed the agreement on extradition, but the other two matters are still in the midst of negotiation,” Mr. Santepheap said.

“For example, if any Russian citizens have committed a crime in his or her country and they flee to Cambodia, Cambodia then has the obligation to extradite them following a request by Russian authorities,” he explained.

The treaty paves the way for several Russian nationals to be extradited from Cambodia after skirting similar extraditions in the past on the basis of there not being a formal extradition treaty...

Parliament approves extradition law
November 16, 2018
The National Assembly yesterday approved a law on the extradition of criminals between Cambodia and Russia.

Pen Panha, chairman of the commission on legislation and justice, said the law would facilitate the extradition of wanted criminals in both countries.

Mr Panha added the extradition treaty would combat transnational crimes such as human trafficking, terrorism and money laundering.

“Cybercrime is also an issue the world is currently facing,” he said. “It is a crime that can be committed beyond borders.”

National Police spokesman Lieutenant General Chhay Kim Khoeun said he supports the treaty.

“I think that an extradition treaty between Cambodia and Russia would be good,” Lt Gen Kim Khoeun said. “It would make it easier to extradite criminals between both countries.”

The law must now be approved by the Senate.
