STAR Kampuchea responds to the demand of the cooperating organizations and their target groups in the provinces.
Frequently, COs and PANs lack sufficient legal expertise and ask for advice to develop a coherent and well informed advocacy strategy to ensure the success and effectiveness of dispute resolution.
In Cambodia, currently effective interventions aim to solve a conflict without taking the case to the court. A decision out of court is more likely to be for the benefit of the people, often it is cheaper and solutions are realized more quickly.
In an early stage, STAR Kampuchea’s lawyer advices cooperating partners and affected communities on how to collect credible evidence and important documents, and assesses the legal situation. The lawyer draws attention to possible legal steps and statutory periods.
Furthermore, the lawyer provides advice to develop solutions that are in accordance with the Cambodian law and additionally conducts legal and paralegal information trainings.

STAR Kampuchea makes legal advice available on request. The cooperating organizations and their target groups are empowered to build up confidence in their own advocacy capacity.
