  2. The work of the ILO in Cambodia

    Cambodia joined the ILO in 1969, the same year that the Organization was honoured with the Nobel Peace Prize. Sadly the country was embroiled in war in Southeast Asia at this time, and would soon experience the genocidal destruction of the Khmer Rouge regime. With the end of the Cold War in the early 1990s, the UN assisted Cambodia in its transition to a democratic society, and the ILO’s work in the country began during this period. This publication discusses some of the work accomplished by the Government and people of Cambodia over these past 17 years.

As the number of cases of infection in humans increases, it becomes easier for the virus to mutate, so it could spread efficiently amongst people, something which could lead to a human pandemic. In response, a pilot project “Avian and Pandemic Human Influenza and the Workplace” was initiated by the ILO CRISIS Department in Geneva and the Subregional Office for East Asia, in Bangkok
