Rhona Smith

Rhona K. M. Smith is a British legal academic. She is professor of international human rights and head of Newcastle Law School at Newcastle University[1][2] and is the United Nations special rapporteur for Cambodia.[3][4][5]

Smith was criticised by the Cambodian government for behaving like a "teacher in a classroom". Smith had questioned the 2018 elections where Cambodian People’s Party had taken all 125 seats. She noted that 118 politicians had been arrested and the courts had dissolved an opposition party ignoring the constitution which expected a multi-party state.[6]
