The Council of Ministers passed a sub-decree Friday allowing for the
licensing of very limited arms and munitions by civilians.
Under the new sub-decree, civilians can apply for licenses of arms and
munitions for s****ts, art, fireworks, and engineering.
The licensing follows the passage of the Cambodian Arms Law in April
2005 and the subsequent closure of several weapons reduction
programs.
Article 4 of the Arms Law prohibits weapon possession, owner****p and
trans****t by civilians.
