Constitutional Reform – 1992

In a SNC meeting on September 10, “HRH Prince Norodom Sihanouk proposed the setting up of a committee to work out the principles for a new constitution and suggested that the committee should be composed of three members from the Phnom Penh administration and one member from each of the other three parties, and the representatives of UN Transitional Authority in Cambodia (UNTAC) . HRH Prince Norodom Sihanouk, in replying to the question raised by Mr Ieng Muli with regard to the mandate of the SNC and UNTAC, stated that the task of the committee was to facilitate the work of a Constituent Assembly. The proposal of HRH Prince Norodom Sihanouk was agreed on.”¹
