The Cambodia National Rescue Party, commonly abbreviated as CNRP, (Khmer: គណបក្សសង្គ្រោះជាតិ, Khmer pronunciation: [kuə̯n paʔ sɑŋkruəh ciət], literally: "Party of Rescuing the Nation") is one of the two major political parties in Cambodia, with the other being the Cambodian People's Party. It was founded in 2012 as a merger between the Sam Rainsy Party and Human Rights Party.
The Cambodia Democratic Movement of National Rescue, the transitional body ahead of the merger, has established working groups to unite the two groups and is in the process of creating a joint national platform and common party policies. The logo for the CNRP is the rising sun.
The party believes in the strengthening of freedom and human rights, institution of free and fair elections, and defending Cambodia's "national integrity". It became the sole challenger to the Cambodian People's Party after the 2013 election. Its official motto is "rescue, serve, protect" (Khmer: សង្គ្រោះ បម្រើ ការពារ).
The 7-point policies of the CNRP:
The domestic policy of the CNRP promotes national reconciliation by banning discrimination, patronage and nepotism based on a set of principles:
The CNRP advocates a free market economy based on economic liberalism.
The CNRP calls for the raising of living standards for farmers through the provision of adequate farm land and utilization of farm technology, competitiveness, improvement of the quality of farm produce, search for markets for farm produce, and fixing the interest on farm loans to one percent per month.
The CNRP believes in empowering all women to strengthen the foundation of Cambodian society through equal participation in all spheres of public and private life by guaranteeing opportunities to achieve women's financial security, social welfare, land, education, health, justice, and politics.
