DNA analysis has long been key to criminal investigations in the west, but until now it has not been available to Cambodian police. Now, a lower price tag for DNA analysis equipment has made it possible for the government to invest in this technology, said Minister of Justice Ang Vang Vathana yesterday.

At a conference yesterday hosted by the Child Protection Unit (CPU), Mr. Vathana said DNA evidence could be the future of Cambodian criminal investigations. “DNA analysis is an important modern technology,” he said, “It provides hard evidence for the court to judge accurately in criminal cases. Without it, some court procedures in Cambodia cannot be resolved accurately.”

“If we fully respect children’s rights, we have to find definite evidence so that we can protect children,” Mr. Vathana said.
