Thai-Cambodia Conflict a Hot Topic as ASEAN Delegates Arrive



New Tang Dynasty Television
6th May, 2011

Security is tight around the convention center in Jakarta on Friday as delegates from the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) gather for their annual meeting.

On the sidelines of the meeting, Indonesia's Foreign Minister met with his Cambodian counterpart to talk about security on the Thai-Cambodian border.

[Marty Natalegawa, Indonesian Foreign Minister]:
"On top of the ASEAN related subject matters, His Excellency was kind enough and I also took the initiative of sharing with him where we are in ASEAN chair's effort to facilitate the talks between Cambodia and Thailand on this border issues. Cambodia has formerly accepted the terms of reference of the Indonesian observer team.”

Fighting between the Thai and Cambodian armies seems to have eased after 12 days of artillery and gunfire – a conflict that's killed 18 people on both sides.

Cambodia's foreign minister says they want to see Indonesian observers at the Thai-Cambodia border as soon as possible.

[Hor Namhong, Cambodian Foreign Minister]:
"We also exchange view on how to deploy the Indonesian observers as soon as possible at the border and I hope that after now that minister Marty will meet with the Thailand foreign minister, there could be arranged the deployment as soon as possible of the Indonesian observers."

Cambodia-Thai relations are expected to be a hot topic at the two-day ASEAN leader's summit.

Indonesia is the 2011 chair for ASEAN. Members include Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Burma, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam.

"the reason cambodia went to ICJ for clarification because Cambodia exhausted all the options and no avail regarding territory surrounding Preah Vihear temple is not an unexpected one " said assistant professor wongthong prawatkarapanh from Julalongkorn university ,Cambodia want ICJ to explain ,Thai have to withdrawn all the troops from Preah Vihear temple surrounding area according to ANNEX I map or not ? to Cambodia understanding ICJ use annex I map(map of treaty franco- siamese) as the guideline for the boundary .
If the ICJ clarification in Cambodia favor Thai have to pull all the troops from the surrounding area(4.6km2) in the additional Cambodia urge ICJ urgently inforce:
(1) according to Cambodia, the Judgment [rendered by the Court in 1962] is based on the prior existence of an international boundary established and recognized by both States;
(2) according to Cambodia, that boundary is defined by the map to which the Court refers on page 21 of its Judgment …, a map which enables the Court to find that Cambodia’s sovereignty over the Temple is a direct and automatic consequence of its sovereignty over the territory on which the Temple is situated …;
(3) according to the Judgment, Thailand is under an obligation to withdraw any military or other personnel from the vicinity of the Temple on Cambodian territory. Cambodia believes that this is a general and continuing obligation deriving from the statements concerning Cambodia’s territorial sovereignty recognized by the Court in that region forbid thai from interfering Cambodia activity on the area or worsen situation in the area .
If Cambodia successfully convince ICJ Thai have to withdrawn it military from the area but the ICJ decision is unknown factor or may be ICJ not accept Cambodia application at all who know .
The reason Preah Vihear temple negotiation progress to present day is the fruitful effort of the former PM Samak have the good relationship with Cambodia But his effort gone in vain because PAD incited the violence and cause damage to people of both sides of the countries.
The conclusion of professor wongthong "what ever the outcome of the ICJ decision it will fuel the hate toward each others for generations to come".
