UNESCO’s World Heritage Committee was expected to begin considering Cambodia’s management plan for the Preah Vihear temple late yesterday during the 10-day Paris summit, an official said yesterday.
“Cambodia’s delegation will meet tonight with UNESCO’s WHC, and we are not surprised even if Thailand refuses to accept the Preah Vihear management plan,” Phay Siphan, a spokesman for the Council of Ministers, said.
Thailand has asked the WHC to delay consideration of the conservation plan until an adjacent border dispute has been settled. Cambodia has so far refused to defer consideration of the proposal.
Phay Siphan said the plan included a variety of conservation and infrastructure efforts, such as repairing and protecting stairs on the eastern side of the 11th-century temple.
Cambodia has said the Hindu temple was damaged by Thai artillery shells and bull-ets during four days of heavy fighting in February that left at least 10 people dead.
Thailand, meanwhile, has accused Cambodia of violating international agreements by stationing troops at the Preah Vihear temple.
The neighbouring kingdoms have also entered competing bids to host next year’s WHC summit meeting.

Thailand needs to give up the fight; noone will listen to your lying irrigant bastard any more. You think the world stop without Thailand? You dont want to listen to ICJ; you threaten UNESCO. What else you want from the world?
thank you, thailand king never smiled,
was to make our preah vihear high rated... f.u, asshole
Mr Vong Sokheng,
Please, stop calling our Preah Vihear a hindu temple. If you want to visit a hindu temple, then you have to go to India where the Hindus live.
You made an involuntary and harmful disservice to our cause.
Let ah thai pull out of the WHC, so no one against the management plan. Also, it's ah thai lost, not khmer. Without ah thai in the way, khmer will move forward.
Without ah thai, UNESCO's WHC is a better organization and it can move forward without a problem, more peaceful in the organization.
the murderous thai threaten to withdraw from UNISCO which mean they threaten to bomb Preah Vihear they think they're not belong to UNISCO so they free to bomb prasath khmer.
They just worry about prasath khmer they don't care about their king is mently and dying, king's wife get drunk every day,king's son hiv+ king's dauther is srey AR!!!
