No new laws are ever perfect. Ask any academic or lawyer and they will tell you, no legislative body anywhere in the world can produce new laws that are crystal clear and that meet everyone's needs.
Every new law needs clarification and refinement.
They need to be tried and tested. Cambodia's new legislation for our first elected commune councils is a case in point. Everyone involved tried hard - officials, advisors, legal draftsmen, ministers and the members of the National Assembly and Senate. Despite their attention to the details, we know all of us will have to revisit the provisions again at some time in the future. We will need to do this soon, in fact in the next few weeks, as the sub-decrees and regulations implementing the new laws are promulgated with the National Election Committee, the National Committee for Supporting the Communes, various ministries, and all the other participants in the local elections.
