Cambodia’s Complaint to ICJ Is a Peaceful Solution

Mr. Sompong (L) met with Mr. Hor Namhong on Friday 10th June, 2011.

AKP Phnom Penh, June 11, 2011 –Cambodian Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation H.E. Hor Namhong has stressed on the necessity for Cambodia and Thailand to solve their border dispute peacefully.

H.E. Hor Namhong told newly-appointed Thai Ambassador to Cambodia H.E. Sompong Samguanbun in a meeting here yesterday, adding that Cambodia’s complaint to the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague is a peaceful solution.

H.E. Hor Namhong also reiterated Cambodia’s stance to minimize the conflict, but maximize the cooperation and not to let the border dispute between the two countries spread to other fields, according to H.E. Koy Koung, undersecretary of state and spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation.

He further explained to the Thai new diplomat of the “package solution” agreed by Cambodian, Thai and Indonesian foreign ministers on May 9, 2011, and called on the Thai side to accept this solution as Cambodia has already responded positively, and to respect the recommendations of the UN Security Council on Feb. 14, 2011.

The Cambodia-Thailand Joint Commission on Demarcation of Land Boundary (JBC) and the General Border Committee (GBC) meetings can be held only if the Thai side agrees or positively responds to the “package solution”, he underlined.

In reply, the newly-appointed Thai ambassador shared the same idea with H.E. Hor Namhong that both countries must solve their border conflict peacefully and expressed his government’s policy to make the two peoples live in prosperity, peace, stability and good cooperation.

He said he has noted the similarity between the two peoples in terms of language, culture, religion, custom and tradition, and he therefore wished that they live in harmony. He also pledged to do his best to reduce the tension and to ameliorate the cooperation and the ties of friendship, especially the mutual understanding between both countries.

Article 51 – The Right to Self-Defence

According to Charter VII, article 51 of the United Nations Charter, countries can engage into military action only in self-defence, including collective self-defence:

51. Nothing in the present Charter shall impair the inherent right of individual or collective self-defence if an armed attack occurs against a Member of the United Nations, until the Security Council has taken measures necessary to maintain international peace and security. Measures taken by Members in the exercise of this right of self-defence shall be immediately reported to the Security Council and shall not in any way affect the authority and responsibility of the Security Council under the present Charter to take at any time such action as it deems necessary in order to maintain or restore international peace and security.

Article 51 of the UN Charter clearly recognizes “the inherent right of Cambodia self-defence”. That is, the language of Article 51 does not identify or stipulate the kind of aggressor or aggressors against whom this right of self-defence can be exercised … and certainly does not limit the right to self-defence to attacks by States!

The language of Article 51 does anchor the right of self-defense to an attack by another state, and the Security Council has extensively interpreted the
right of self-defense without this requirement.

“Thailand should realized that ‘No territorial acquisition resulting from the threat or use of force shall be recognized as legal.The territory of a State shall not be the object of military occupation resulting from the use of force in contravention of the provisions of the Charter”.
The Charter forbidden use of force in any and all circumstances, ” The Resolution would have simply read: “The territory of a State shall not be the object of military occupation by another State.” Period.

“Recalling that the Security Council, in accordance with Article 39 of the Charter of the United Nations, shall determine the existence of any threat to the peace, breach of the peace or act of aggression and shall make recommendations, or decide what measures shall be taken in accordance with Articles 41 and 42, to maintain or restore international peace and security.”

recommendations, or decide what measures shall be taken in accordance with Articles 41 and 42, to maintain or restore international peace and security.”

The question is what is the 4.6 km2 come from? technically the 4.6 km2 is the Thai secret creation unilateral map for invading Cambodia territory (total Thai created 600,000 acres on land&sea inside Cambodia territory as Thai territory), first revealed in Christchurch in 2007, and not recognised by any other country. In an attempt to establish de facto control over the area around the Temple, on 15 July 2008 Thailand sent its armed forces into that area in defiance of the 1962 ICJ judgment, and in gross violation of the UN Charter and the international rule of law and no place for Thai fraudulent documentation of the intentional of invading and occupy Cambodia territory.

The world book of record will record Thailand side by side with Libya of using the ban cluster ammunitions against Cambodia in 2011 border war.

Thai come from Chinese Province of Guangxi (the ancient Tai people should be the part of Chinese Nanyue or "southern barbarians").as the bandits in the 13th century robbed most of the Khmer land and now become quite a country that still not satify or Thai never give up bandit habit uncivilized, nature-bound barbarians..
