The Cambodian Human Rights Action Committee (CHRAC, also referred to as Action Committee), in Khmer

, was created on August 02, 1994 by

a group of local non-governmental organizations and associations for the purpose of joint cooperation in the promotion of human rights, liberal democracy, and development in the Kingdom of Cambodia. The establishment of the Action Committee took place one year after the first general election in Cambodia under the auspices of the United Nations Transitional Authority in Cambodia (UNTAC), and after many years of civil war. Since its establishment, new members have successively joined CHRAC.
 

Currently, the coalition has 21 member NGOs and Associations, all of them being independent, impartial, non-political and non-profit organizations operating in the Kingdom of Cambodia.
