The draft statute of international laws enumerates four different categories of war crimes. The first two categories apply to international armed conflicts and are largely based on well-established principles of international law. Here is brief support for Category B:
B. Other serious violations of the laws and customs applicable in international armed conflicts , these provisions are derived largely from the Hague law.
- targeting civilians;(Thailand targeting Cambodian civilian in the Feb and april clashed )
- targeting buildings devoted to art or science; (Thailand targeted Preah Vihear Temple on 04/02/2011 clashed)
The use of particular weapons(Thailand used cluster bombs in the Feb and April 2011 clashed against Cambodia), such as poison or poisoned weapons, gas weapons, (Thailand used poison or poisoned weapons in the Feb and April 2011 clashed against Cambodia), chemical weapons and bacteriological weapons; also constituting a grave breach of the Geneva Conventions.
The long arms of the international laws will catch up with Thailand soon if Thailand still acting ruthlessly against Cambodia .

The Fact Of Thailand and Cluster Munitions
Thailand has not signed the Convention on Cluster Munitions. It is not party to the Convention on Conventional Weapons (CCW).
Thailand is believed to have used cluster munitions against Cambodia on Feb 2011 and April 2011 clashed. The United States supplied it with 500 Rockeye and 200 CBU-71 cluster bombs at some point between 1970 and 1995. The status and composition of its current stockpile is not known.
Thailand did not attend the initial meeting to launch the Oslo Process, but participated in the regional conference in Cambodia and all three of the international conferences to develop the convention text in Lima,Vienna, and Wellington. Thailand then chose to attend the formal negotiations in Dublin in May 2008 as an observer. It subsequently attended the regional conference in Lao PDR aimed at promoting signature to the convention, but attended the signing conference in Oslo in December 2008 again only as an observer.
At the Lima conference, Thailand said loudly it supported the development of an international instrument on cluster munitions, but noted the difficulties for affected countries and emphasized the importance of financial assistance to help such countries comply with any future agreement. At the Vienna conference, Thailand again stressed the importance of international assistance. It supported the rights-based approach to victim assistance and emphasized the importance of including provisions relating to data collection on cluster munitions victims. Although only attending the Dublin negotiations in May 2008 as an observer, Thailand described the text as well balanced and welcomed its adoption.
The ICRC hosted a Southeast Asia regional meeting on cluster munitions in Bangkok on 24–25 April 2008. This was not a formal part of the Oslo Process. Participants from the region included Brunei, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam. Representatives of Australia, Ireland, Japan, Norway, the UN, CMC, and other NGOs also attended. Conference participants discussed the global humanitarian impact of the weapon, as well as specific problems that it poses in Southeast Asian states.States discussed their national policy perspectives, efforts to address cluster munitions through the Oslo Process and the CCW, and key issues that would come up during the Dublin negotiations.

On 2 November 2008 as part of the Global Week of Action on cluster munitions, the Thailand “Ban Bus” was launched in central Bangkok, along with an exhibition and public activities, then traveled across the country raising awareness and promoting the convention.
At the Oslo signing conference in December 2008, Thailand made a statement affirming that it had no intention of using cluster munitions or acquiring more of them in the future. It said it recognized a moral
commitment to provide for the victims of the weapons. However, Thailand stated that as it maintained stocks of cluster munitions, it would require further time to evaluate the convention. Thailand said it was concerned about the high cost of stockpile destruction and was seeking ways to develop a comprehensive plan for destruction.
[Thailand added that it always wished to see all stakeholders, including the manufacturers of cluster munitions, join the convention. Furthermore, Thailand argued strongly that the prohibition in the convention was not sufficiently broad and that countries in a position to acquire munitions not prohibited by the convention would be able to use them “with impunity.”]
On 22 February 2009, Nonviolence International held a meeting with the Secretary General of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Secretariat and Thailand’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, who committed to discuss the convention during the ASEAN meeting of Defense Ministers on 26 February2009, in Pattaya, Thailand.
Thailand hosted a regional extravaganza workshop in Bangkok in April 2009 on the Mine Ban Treaty, in advance of the Second Review Conference. Following the workshop, Australia hosted, with Lao PDR co-chairing, a briefing on the Convention on Cluster Munitions with the aim of encouraging states from the Southeast Asia region to sign.
The wheel of justice
International Criminal Court (ICC) prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo On May 16, 2011 requested arrest warrants for Mu’ammar al-Gaddafi, his son Saif al-Islam and the country’s spy chief Abdullah al-Senussi, for Crimes Against Humanity.
In the world of international justice, this request comes at lightning speed: After the UN Security Council (unanimously!) referred the situation to the ICC only days after violence and armed hostilities broke out in Libya in mid-February, the request for arrest warrants comes only three months later.
The evidence of unlawful killing of civilians due to indiscriminate attacks, including the use of heavily artillery, and cluster bombs , The munitions break open in mid-air and release submunitions over the area below. The result is that everyone below is affected, no matter if armed personal or civilians. If the submunitions fail to explode on impact, they effectively become anti-personnel mines. Because cluster munitions are inherently indiscriminate, they should never be used in any circumstances, and in fact they have been banned in over 100 countries. Their use in residential areas, such as in Misratah, is a clear violation of international humanitarian law.
Thailand is next on the list the evidences is overwhelming what ever Thailand called it the international community call cluster bombs .
