ANALYSIS Will the Maps Have Their Days In Court? (The Annex I map vs. the unilateral and secret map)

By Prof. Pen Ngoeun
Senior advisor to Puthisastra University

Phnom Penh, February 28, 2011 AKP –The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) special envoy Koichiro Matsuura, in Bangkok on 25 February 2011 listened to the very unusual assurance given by Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva that “Thailand would settle the conflict with Cambodia over the Hindu temple of Preah Vihear’s inscription before the World Heritage Committee’s next meeting in Bahrain in the middle of this year,” as reported by The Nation on 26 February under the title: Unesco told to delay consideration. Moreover, as reported by The Bangkok Post Online the same day, under the title: Unesco special envoy supports ‘Thai stance’, among other things the FM spokesman Thani Thongphakdee said “The minister also told Mr. Matsuura about the history of the Preah Vihear problem that stems from both countries using different maps. Thailand has stuck to an international principle of using a watershed as a border line but Cambodia has relied on a map made by France.”
