The United Nations Charter recognises the right of Cambodia's self-defence against thailand

Sent to Khmerization by an anonymous reader.

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:

Article 51 states "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."

So, 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 by any 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 realize 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.”
In relation to the present Khmer-Thai border conflict, the question is where does the 4.6 km2 of "disputed territory" come from? Technically, the 4.6 km2 is the Thai secret creation, born out of a Thai unilateral map, for invading Cambodian territory (total Thai created 600,000 acres on land&sea inside Cambodia territory as Thai territory), which was first revealed in the Unesco summit in Christchurch in New Zealand in 2007, and which was not recognised by any other country in the world. In an attempt to establish a de facto control over the area around the Temple of Preah Vihear, on 15 July 2008 Thailand sent its armed forces into that area in defiance of the 1962 ICJ judgment, which awarded the area and the temple to Cambodia, and in gross violation of the UN Charter and the international rule of law. Thailand has created a unilateral map, which is a fraudulent documentation, for the purpose of intentional invasion and occupation of Cambodian territory.

The World Book of Record will record Thailand side by side with Libya for using the banned cluster munitions against Cambodian troops during border clashes in February and again in April 2011.

The Thai race was not local to the Southeast Asian region. They came from the southern Chinese province of Guangxi in the region of Nanchao and Yunan (the ancient Tai people should be the part of Chinese Nanyue or "southern barbarians"). As the bandits in the 13th century, they robbed most of the Khmer land and now have become quite a country that is still not satisfied with what they have already robbed from the Khmer people. The Thais never gave up their uncivilized banditry against the Khmers. They were and are nature-bound barbarians..
