I've just come across an excerpt from the actual handbook that the consular officers use to determine how to go about handling situations when documents are unavailable (as quoted from someone else in this forum on visajourney from 2011):

So it seems to suggest that is I can satisfy the officer with information showing that the required documentation as needed to acquire the Police certificate does not exist. It does suggest attaching "proof of attempts made", which I'd like to think could include my notarized documents and supplementary evidence describing the process of getting the Cambodia certificate, and that it would not be available to me even if I flew there to try to find it. It sounds like it's on me to show valid proof and convincing evidence that the Police Certificate is unobtainable -- and from where I'm standing with the info I have, that does certainly seem to be the case.

Any second opinions?

This has given me a lot of hope. I have the same issue after living in Venezuela. It was during the crisis. However I have emails from the embassy saying I needed a SSN (which vzla never did) and also various emails I have sent to their department.
