After a considerable discussion, it was agreed that law-making process must be an open one. Public debate on laws is very essential so that more people will be able to contribute to the making of laws.
More opinions help to create better laws.
Laws are not made to protect a few people but to protect the whole society. This must always be kept in mind. Due to the devastation caused by the Khmer Rouge, Cambodia lost all its previously existing legal texts. Remaking of the laws on a liberal democratic basis began only after the United Nations-sponsored 1993 election. The legislative experience is thus short, and the process developed so far for law making needs to be improved.
