Preah Vihear temple and, inset, Mr. Suwit (top), Thai Natural Resources and Environment Minister, and Mr. Rao (bottom), director of Unesco World Heritage Centre.25th June, 2011

Mr Rao informed Mr Suwit that if Thailand and Cambodia could not reach a conclusion on any draft, the centre would forward its draft to the WHC meeting for consideration.
Mr Suwit was against this as it would put Thailand at risk of losing territory if the draft is approved by the WHC.
Thailand is threatening to resign its membership of Unesco's World Heritage Convention.
It says it will resign from the body if a draft agreement on issues regarding the management plan for Preah Vihear temple, prepared by the Unesco World Heritage Centre, is forwarded for consideration to the World Heritage Committee (WHC).
The draft was suggested by centre director Kishore Rao after both Thai and Cambodian versions failed to win each other country's approval.

Do Thailand think that UNESCO will collapse or come to the end when Thailand resign Thai membership from UNESCO?. Thai will be more suffering when Thai see tourists stop coming to visit Thailand,but Cambodia. Who cares. Thailand is a miscellaneous category among the worlds population.
The Preah Vihear World Heritage case has gone beyond technicalities. It is abused to arouse the delusion that the temple belongs to Thailand, and Thailand desire to revive the claim.
Serious challenge to Cambodian sovereignty over the temple was made for the past 48 years – until the bid by Cambodia to secure this temple as a new World Heritage site.Thailand has staked claim to 4.6 sq km of adjoining territory surrounding much of the temple’s site.The Thai unilateral map was a map produced by Field Marshal Sarit Thanarat government of Thailand to counter the verdict of the International Court of Justice on June 15, 1962.
Thailand is coward...Used sniper to sneak in behind shoot and killed our soldiers...What'a cheap bastard! Thailand is terrorist!!!!!Gen. Prayuth Chan O'cha will get kill next round...
I will buy a maraton running shoe for thailand to help them run as fast as she can, you are (Thai) most apreciated if you could run from WHC the sooner the better, let see if the bully siem thug dare to do it or not, I believe the thaidog will bark but never bite. Mike

The sniping used in killing innocent thais and Cambodian soldiers, in one day, will be used to their own elite members.
