Dear All,
There is no gain or no loss for any party here so far. The orders simply are temporary measures pending the ICJ resolution/decision of Cambodia's application for Interpretation.
The fact that ICJ ruled that it has the necessary jurisdiction/competence to ascertain Cambodia's Application for provisional measures/ injunctions, is a great win for Cambodia. This ruling is unprecedented. I would not have been surprised if the Court ruled otherwise, i.e. accepting Thai's sumbission that ICJ has no competence to accept and decide Cambodia's Application after over 50 years later of the decision (1962).
In term of the demilitarised zone coverage, the zone covers more Thai territory than Khmer's, a bit more, about 1 km from the boundary line (to the north) as depicted on the 1908 (Dangrek Section) map.
See attached maps for reference. Please note the 1st Page of this document is the Secret Map drawn and used by the Thai Govt in 2007 for submission to UNESCO for PV as World Heritage.
