Human Rights Party (Cambodia)
The Human Rights Party ( km, គណបក្សសិទ្ធិមនុស្ស) was a Cambodian political party founded on 22 July 2007 by Kem Sokha.

At the time of its foundation, the party claimed to have between 200,000 and 500,000 members nationwide. Human Rights Party is the first party in Cambodia to adopt the check and balance system, changing the culture of one-man-ruling parties, which most parties in Cambodia adopt. It is also the first party in Cambodia to have its major leaders elected in its convention. Its popularity has been dramatically increasing in Cambodia, especially in the countryside.
