"I will be focusing my mission on the current situation of human rights, and following up on the developments since my previous mission last November," Smith said in the release.
"I also aim to continue my examination of human rights with respect to the Sustainable Development Goals, looking in particular at non-discrimination and equality, and participation and accountability," she added.
During her 11-day visit, the expert plans to meet senior members of the government, representatives of civil society and members of the diplomatic community, said the release, adding that Smith will also undertake field visits to gather first-hand information.
The UN Special Rapporteur undertakes regular official missions to Cambodia and reports annually to the Human Rights Council, which appointed her in March 2015, it said.
