Vox Populi: What do Khmers think about taking Preah Vihear case to International Court of Justice?

I hope we don't lose everything. It's not a gamble. However, after seeing the action of the UN last week, it could happen. This is why I am so apprehensive.

It [Preah Vihear temple] is already declared to belong to Cambodia. The evidence is still there. If the ICJ turned around and said it was wrong in the ruling, then ICJ will need to be dissolved. Hun Sen just need the court to reinterpret the term "vicinity around Preah Vihear". This should do...

The government should not ask the ICJ to re-interpret, but rather to enforce the verdict. Re-interpret could give a new meaning to the verdict.

Have you guys read that a tank company from Vietnam are on their way to Preah Vihear? If this were true, it would complicate the matter even further.

I am a bit worried also after our failures at the UNSC. I think the ICJ has no power to enforce its verdict like the courts of a country because it has no police and military force to do so. However, its re-interpretation would embarrass and force Thailand or the losing party to abide by the verdict. I agree with 12:31 PM that the verdict are pretty clear, but a re-interpretation, if it is in Cambodia's favor, will force the Thais to withdraw from the Preah Vihear surrounding areas and gives up its claims forever. if Thailand refused to abide by the new re-interpretation, the UNSC can pass a resolution to condemn Thailand in the strongest term.

I'm worried too since the UN is unfair. I do not believe in the UN anymore. It's like the UN is under the US and also its lackey too (Thailand).

Before I don't believe this could happen. I always believe justice also comes to the right person. But, since the UN acted as if nothing had happened like that, I feel nervous about sending the complaint to ICJ. ICJ might be under pressure from Thailand and will change mind, or may be it is unfair this time.
Like UNESCO at this time, UNESCO don't send any officials to observe the Preah Vihear's damage.
I apprehensively think that When in danger, only the real owner always worried about the damage of Preah Vihear.
You can see? UNESCO don't even care about Preah Vihear.
So, what they consider world heritage is just on the lip of their mouth. Nothing important for them.
