In practice, there are two types of labor contractors, one who provides labor domestically
and the other who exports labor overseas. The latter is governed by specific governmental
regulations such as Sub-decree No.57 ANK/PK Of July 20, 1995 on Exporting
Cambodian Workers Overseas and a complementary Sub-decree No.70 ANK/PK Of July
25, 1996 on creating a Manpower Training and Overseas Sending Board to act as a public
agency for recruiting, training, sending and managing Cambodian workers to work
overseas. Sub-decree No.57 ANK/PK Of July 20, 1995 is the most important law regulating
labor migration management from Cambodia, and gives the Ministry of Labour and
Vocational training (MOLVT) authority to license any company to send Cambodian workers
abroad. The sub-decree establishes a joint cooperation between the MOLVT and the
Ministry of Interior (MOI) for issuing passports and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA)
in monitoring workers at destination countries, and also provides processes and procedures
of cooperation between the MOLVT and private recruitment agencies, including
the obligation for the recruitment agencies to sign a written contract with the worker and
to organize pre-departure training as well as criteria for licensing such the deposit of a
guarantee fund within the MOLVT. However, Cambodia has not yet signed the 1990 UN
Convention on the Protection of the Rights of all Migrant Workers and Members of their
Families, Convention No. 97 on Migration for Employment (Revised), 1949, Convention
No. 143 on Migrant Workers (Supplementary Provisions), 1975 and Convention No. 181
on Private Employment Agencies, 1997.
