In Cambodia, positive global rankings for freedom of religion or belief (FoRB) often mask underlying structural challenges and growing state control over religious institutions. This affects a diverse range of communities, including rank-and-file monks, Muslims, Christians, and Indigenous Peoples (IPs). From political co-optation of the Buddhist Sangha to the bureaucratic restrictions of minority faiths, the destruction of Indigenous sacred sites, and the strategic use of religion during the Cambodian-Thai border conflict, these mechanisms contribute to profound structural inequality. Religious Freedom in Cambodia: Unpacking the Rankings explores how ambiguously drafted legal provisions and state-aligned administrative practices provide uneven protection across religious communities, ultimately unpacking the disconnect between formal FoRB protections and lived realities. The report offers concrete policy recommendations, urging the United Nations, government agencies, civil society, and faith-based organisations to move beyond superficial narratives of harmony and recognise how FoRB intersects with broader human rights. Ultimately, stakeholders must directly address these under-discussed challenges to foster a genuinely inclusive, just, and equitable environment for all religious communities in Cambodia.
