    In 2001 a new Land Law was adopted in Cambodia. It was significant because - for the first time - it recognised a new legal category of people, Indigenous Peoples or chuncheat daoem pheak tech in Khmer, and it also introduced the legal concept of communal land rights to Cambodia. Indigenous Peoples are not mentioned in the 1993 constitution of Cambodia or any legislation pre-dating the 2001 Land Law. However, Cambodia's 2002 Forestry Law also followed the trend by recognising Indigenous Peoples.

    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: "This assessment of the rural Dry Zone reveals the
    nutrition situation to be a concern, with high
    rates of wasting and medium rates of stunting, high rates of low birth weight and high rates
    of undernutrition among mothers; particularly
    those who are pregnant and/or lactating. The
    pattern of indicators suggests that flood plains and irrigated areas are best off,
    and the
    highlands may be worst,
    but the situation is far from acceptable in the Dry Zone as a whole.
