Cambodia acceded to the CAT on 15 October 1992, together with four other UN human rights treaties, while being governed by UNTAC.
At the time, Cambodia did not make a declaration under either article 21, recognising the competence of the Committee to receive inter-state complaints, or article 22, which would permit the Committee to receive individual complaints.
Cambodia did not make any reservations to the CAT.
Cambodia submitted its initial report to the Committee on 29 August 2002, for consideration at session number 30. It has not yet submitted its second and third periodic reports, due on 13 November 1997 and 2001 respectively.
Apart from the CAT, Cambodia has acceded to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women, the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, and the Convention on the Rights of the Child. It has ratified the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination and the Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the Child on the sale of children, child prostitution and child pornography. It has signed the Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women, and the Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the Child on the involvement of children in armed conflict.
