v. Ensure full implementation of Article 7 CRC, by immediately registering the births of all children born in Cambodia – without exception – and ensuring that all such children who would otherwise be stateless, are granted Cambodian citizenship. Take all necessary steps to address barriers to accessing birth registration – including through ensuring that the new identification law is fully compliant with international standards. vi. Ensure that the births of all ethnic Vietnamese children born in Cambodia are registered immediately, through thee nondiscriminatory, comprehensive and consistent implementation of regulations relevant to birth registration, including by providing for free birth registration for those unable to pay the current costs and raising awareness about the importance of birth registration. Consider the strengthening of policies on birth registration in the drafting of the Law on Population Density, Identification and Population Density Statistics that would fulfill obligations under international law. vii. Provide detailed information on the deportation process and on the confiscation of documents and destruction of registries, and take all necessary steps to remedy rights violations in this regard, return confiscated documents and recognise the Cambodian citizenship of those whose documents were lost, confiscated, destroyed or viewed with suspicion, and provide an independent mechanism for the return of seized documents whenever possible. viii. Ensure that all necessary steps are taken to collect and publish data on Vietnamese community in Cambodia, including the long-term ethnic Vietnamese community in Cambodia. ix. Establish a fair and expeditious procedure, in line with UNHCR guidance, to assess the likelihood of Vietnamese nationality of any persons from the ethnic Vietnamese community whose Cambodian citizenship is under question, and to ensure that all such persons are not at risk of statelessness or left in limbo with inadequate rights protection, during the process or after a decision has been made. x. Take all necessary steps to accede to and fully implement the 1954 and 1961 Statelessness Conventions, including, but not limited to: a. Building the capacities of local authorities to understand the legal framework and to bring practices in line with Cambodia’s law, constitution and human rights obligations; and b. Implementing proactive awareness-raising programs among affected communities about importance of civil registration and the procedures available for access to legal identity, including civil registration and, where possible, Cambodian citizenship in accordance with Cambodian laws. xi. Address discrimination against the Khmer Krom and ethnic minorities, including the eradication of discriminatory legislation, in line with the supported recommendation made by Switzerland in the UPR 2nd cycle on creating conditions favourable to inter-ethnic tolerance. 11
