The opposition Sam Rainsy Party (SRP) has announced that it will rescind the 2005 Supplemental Treaty with Vietnam ratified in 2005, saying that the treaty has caused Cambodia to lose a lot of territory to Vietnam, reports Cambodian Express News.
The 2005 Supplemental Treaty was effectively an additional treaty ratified to legitimise the 1985 Treaty signed between Vietnam and the People's Republic of Kampuchean government propped up by Vietnam in 1979.
Speaking to about 200 supporters in Phnom Penh on Saturday 10th July, Mr. Kong Korm (pictured), Vice-President of the SRP, said Cambodia has lost of a lot of territory to Vietnam under these two treaties and due to the present border demarcation works between the two countries and to Thailand due to lax border protection measures. He told supporters that the 1991 Paris Peace Accords guarantees the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Cambodia, which Vietnam and Thailand are signatories.
Mr. Yim Sovan, spokesman for the SRP, said the SRP has maintained its stance not to recognise the 2005 Supplemental treaty since its ratification. He added that the present demarcation works, which use the 2005 Supplemental Treaty as a base, has encroached and violated farmers' lands as well as Cambodian territory. He said that when his party won the election, it will rescind and reverse the 2005 Supplemental treaty with Vietnam.
Mr. Tith Sothea, spokesman for the Council of Ministers, said the SRP is trying to capitalise on border issues for political gains. He said the 2005 Supplemental Treaty was ratified by the parliament in accordance with Cambodian maps deposited at the UN.
