Takeo, Kampong Chhnang, Kampong Cham, Kampot and Svay Rieng are expected to become mine-free provinces not later than March 2023.
According to H.E. Ly Thuch, Senior Minister and First Vice President of the Cambodian Mine Action and Victim Assistance Authority (CMAA), in the first two months (Aug. and Sept.), the mine clearance operations under Samdech Techo Project for Mine Action (STP-MA) themed “Providing Safe Ground, Creating Smiles” in the five provinces is more than 31 percent complete.
Some 8,703,082 of almost 28 million square metres of landmine-contaminated land have been cleared, detecting and destroying 638 anti-personnel mines and 603 explosive remnants of war, he pointed out.
Cambodian Mine Action Centre (CMAC) has deployed a total of 37 teams of more than 360 demining specialists, as well as operational support equipment and demining equipment to carry out the mine clearance operations in the five provinces, the CMAA first vice president said.
Therefore, he continued, Kampong Chhnang and Takeo provinces will obtain the mine-free status at the end of October, while Kampong Cham province in late 2022, and Kampot and Svay Rieng provinces in March 2023.
Prime Minister Samdech Akka Moha Sena Padei Techo Hun Sen has appealed for a national movement to contribute to achieving the Kingdom’s goal of becoming a mine-free nation by 2025.

ASEAN, Ukraine May Sign TAC in November

Spokesperson of the Cambodian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation H.E. Chum Sounry said ASEAN is in the internal process to allow Ukraine to sign the Instrument of Accession to the Treaty of Amity and Cooperation in Southeast Asia (TAC).
“ASEAN is in the internal process to allow Ukraine to sign the TAC. If it is arranged in time, there will be a signing ceremony during the upcoming ASEAN Summits and Related Summits and Ukraine FM has to participate,” he said in a text message to AKP.
When asked if any perspective of the Ukraine’s participation in the upcoming ASEAN Summits and Related Summits from Nov. 8 to 13, 2022, H.E. Chum Sounry said as the host country, Cambodia will provide the venue for any bilateral meetings to be held on the sidelines of the Summits, but we will not engage in arranging them.

TAC was established in 1976 and embodies universal principles of peaceful coexistence and friendly cooperation among States in Southeast Asia. It is a legally-binding code for inter-state relations in the region and beyond. The Treaty has been amended three times, in 1987, 1998, and 2010, respectively, to allow for accession by states outside Southeast Asia as well as for regional organisations whose members are sovereign states, among others. As of August 2022, there are 49 High Contracting Parties to the TAC.
Ukraine has requested to be a party to TAC since August when Cambodia hosted the ASEAN Foreign Ministers’ Meeting (AMM) along with the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Qatar, Greece, the Netherlands, and Denmark, but Ukraine submitted the request late, therefore Cambodia as the Chair of ASEAN and the ASEAN Secretariat could not handle this on time.

Quantexa Has Been Positioned by Chartis as a Category Leader in the KYC Solutions 2022 Market Quadrant Update and Vendor Landscape

Quantexa’s KYC Solution, part of its industry leading Decision Intelligence Platform, recognized for completeness of offering, risk scoring, customer profile enrichment, and customer onboarding

LONDON, Oct. 19, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Today Quantexa, a global data and analytics software company pioneering Contextual Decision Intelligence (CDI) and helping the world’s leading organizations and government agencies solve some of their toughest data challenges, announced that they have been recognized as a category leader in the just released 2022 Chartis KYC Solutions Market Update and Vendor Landscape report. Quantexa is being recognized as a category leader for completeness of their enterprise solution as well as market potential. The Quantexa KYC Solution was rated “best in class” for KYC risk scoring and customer profile enrichment with additional data and received an advanced ranking for customer onboarding and reporting, and dashboarding.

The Chartis KYC report is focused on the macro themes of cost saving and efficiency. Currently, KYC processes can be manual, error-prone and result in a poor experience throughout the customer lifecycle. Quantexa’s Decision Intelligence Platform transforms the approach to KYC by adding context and clarity from onboarding to exit, dynamically monitoring, and assessing customer risk and opportunity, and shifting away from manual periodic reviews to an automated, proactive process.

The platform connects internal and external data to create a single, enriched, holistic view of a customer and its control, and uncovers hidden connections between customers, counterparties and their behaviors which are often impossible to see in isolation. Along with automation and the use of AI to achieve efficiencies, the solution facilitates a continuous and informed understanding of customers for better, faster decision making throughout the customer acceptance, identification, activity monitoring, and risk management processes.

Quantexa’s positioning in the report is reflective of their customers’ proven results and is proof that adopting a contextual and perpetual approach to KYC reduces the time and costs involved for businesses. It also transforms what has become a tick-the-box exercise, back into the true purpose of understanding the risk and exposure brought on by customer activity. By increasing automation and using decision intelligence, businesses stay ahead of the volume and velocity of data related to KYC policies and processes and can free up their teams, so they have more time to concentrate on high-risk customers and value-add tasks.

Quote: Phillip Mackenzie, Senior Research Specialist, Chartis
The Chartis RiskTech Quadrant for KYC does not simply describe one technology solution as the best – rather, we use the most sophisticated ranking methodology to explain which solution would be most suitable for buyers, depending on their implementation strategies. Our research finds that Quantexa’s KYC Solution offers businesses the necessary controls to address the risks involved in using AI in their compliance programs.”

Quote: Dan Higgins, Chief Product Officer, Quantexa

“Quantexa is thrilled to be included in the Chartis KYC Market Quadrant Report, positioned very strongly amongst an esteemed list of enterprise solution providers. Traditional ongoing due diligence and periodic refreshes of KYC continue to drive cost and complexity for businesses. The increasing regulatory, budget and customer pressures demand a new way of thinking. Quantexa’s contextual approach reduces the time and cost of KYC by increasing automation, connecting non-obvious relationships, and leveraging decision intelligence for perpetual monitoring of risk. This translates into more accurate risk identification and management, lower costs, and improved customer experience. We are confident that this approach will continue to provide value to our clients and drive overall market growth for Quantexa.”

Cellebrite Enhances Guardian with Faster, First-to-Market Evidence Review Capabilities

The enhanced Cellebrite investigative evidence management solution further accelerates time to evidence, reduces backlogs, and empowers agencies to utilize resources more efficiently

PETAH TIKVA, Israel and TYSONS CORNER, Va., Oct. 19, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Cellebrite DI Ltd. (Nasdaq: CLBT), a global leader in Digital Intelligence (DI) solutions for the public and private sectors, today announced the release of the next generation of Cellebrite Guardian, which provides quicker time to evidence (TTE) as it loads evidence within just seconds of receipt and further simplifies workflows to accelerate time to justice.

The latest enhancements create increased flexibility for law enforcement and help them secure privacy as they are able to harness the power of the solution to simplify and streamline end-to-end processes and key pain points in the investigative workflow, including physical duplication, transportation of evidence, and time-consuming evidence review.

We expect Cellebrite Guardian will accelerate TTE by more than 5 times compared to traditional methods1, enabling agencies to go from collection to collaboration in 2 hours (total time spent on case) compared to the current average TTE of 11 hours. Cellebrite Guardian also allows agencies to use their resources more efficiently.

Without the restraints of limited duration of storage and access to extractions, Cellebrite Guardian puts the customer at the center, allowing them to better address numerous evidence management challenges no matter how big the case or how long it takes.

Upper Allen Township Police Department Lieutenant Brian Barnes stated, “One person solving the case just isn’t the reality anymore. Modern investigations require team members from multiple disciplines, effectively collaborating, to bring justice to a victim. Often these cases involve digital evidence. Cellebrite Guardian is not only managing the critical relationship between investigator and examiner, but also ensuring that digital intelligence is immediately actionable regardless of hardware or skillset. Investigators reviewing phone extractions in a web browser, and quickly providing access to prosecutors via the cloud for instant review, forever changes the inefficient paradigm of yesterday.”

“The faster review capabilities for Cellebrite Guardian are critical for accelerating the time to justice in any investigation,” said Todd Bailey, Vice President and Head of Investigation and Evidence Management Solutions at Cellebrite. “Previously, Guardian had transformed hours of manual review processes into minutes. With our latest release, we have sped up those minutes into mere seconds. This speed, in combination with Guardian’s inbuilt flexibility, enables any agency to resolve cases faster.”
