US pushes Cambodia to clean up trafficking

Radio Australia

The United States says while Cambodia still needs to do more to fight human trafficking, the nation has made progress.

This follows an increase in law enforcement and the passing of new legislation to crack down on the crime.Cambodia has now been upgraded to Tier 2 in the annual US State Department report on human trafficking.

With a reputation as a haven for sex offenders, Cambodia ranked below the second tier since 2004, raising the risk that Washington could impose sanctions or other punitive measures.
