Nimmith Men, a PhD candidate at Melbourne Law School, has been invited to join the Better Work Advisory Committee, a joint initiative of the International Labour Organisation and the International Finance Corporation aimed at helping raise labour standards in order to improve the lives of over a million workers in developing countries.
In response to the invitation, Nimmith has offered his assistance and will be participating in meetings of the Committee to be held in Geneva. The first meeting is in October this year.
Nimmith, whose thesis topic is The Development of Alternative Dispute Resolution in the Cambodian Civil Justice System, is being supervised by Professor Camille Cameron and Associate Professor Sean Cooney . He is studying here with the assistance of an AusAID 'Australian Leadership Award' (ALA) scholarship.

Prior to coming to the Law School, Nimmith was employed as the Executive Director and Arbitrator/Conciliator at the Arbitration Council Foundation in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.
