Thailand has submitted 620 more pages of its
second written observations report on the Preah Vihear temple to the
International Court of Justice (ICJ).
The documents maintain that Cambodia "has no authority to call for the court to interpret the 1962 court verdict".
Treaties and Legal Affairs Department director-general Rachanant
Thananant said Thailand sent its second written observations to the ICJ
on Thursday in response to the Cambodian position submitted to the court
on March 8 this year.
The written explanations contain 240 pages of detailed narrative and a
380-page document, plus 53 map annexes, Mr Rachanant said.
Thai Ambassador to the Hague and leader of the Thai defence team
Virachai Plasai submitted the written observations to the ICJ. Other
members of the Thai delegation comprise representatives from the Defence
Ministry, the prosecutor's office and the Council of State.
Thailand maintained its argument that Cambodia had no authority to
call for the court to interpret the 1962 court verdict, said Mr
Rachanant, who is also deputy leader of the Thai team.
"It means Cambodia is trying to ask the court to rule that the border
line should be the line which Cambodia called for under its 1:200,00
map and demands that the court rule on the legal status of this map," he
said.
The ICJ in 1962 did not give any legal status to the map mentioned by
Cambodia but the court used this map as one of many reasons to rule
that the temple was under Cambodia's sovereignty, he said.
Cambodia used the 1:200,000 map to claim that areas around the temple
which are commonly claimed by both countries belong to Phnom Penh.
Thailand also reiterated in the second explanation that the 1962
verdict, with which Bangkok complied, had to do with sovereignty over
the temple only and did not involve the borderline, Mr Rachanant said.
He stressed the scope of the temple areas should follow the line
which the Thai cabinet determined on July 10, 1962 and Cambodia
accepted.
This line does not indicate the borderline between the two countries
because border demarcation is an ongoing process that is being carried
out under the negotiation framework of the Thailand-Cambodian Joint
Boundary Commission (JBC).
Thailand is waiting for the court to consider whether the country
should have a public sitting or oral testimony it requested, Mr
Rachanant said. "We are confident and expect the ICJ to consider the
case fairly with all sides," he said.

khmer governments, needs to bring adhisit admn to UN war crimes by incited war with Cambodia & destroyed Preah Vihear,.
not a newsworthy publisher, bias and selfserving for the siem yellow shit...no i mean yellow shirt. it is pretty crappy anyways.
Don't try to causes more inflection upon your country in which your country has lost the court battle before and now or forever,let live in peace side by side, don't be greedy or you will lost more territory like Surin province to Khmer.Surin was Khmer's land and still belong to Khmer today.
Thailand should get over the loss of Preah Vihear in the international court. The temple and the surrounding land clearly belong to Cambodia, that's why the international court adjudicated to give it to Cambodia in 1962.
Fucking ungrateful, greedy, selfish, low class Siam ( A KA PEK) if only they knew and admitted in their mind that more half of their whores country belong to Khmer before.
They will loose. The fucking whores siam
They are trying to delay case forever by keep submitting more documents to the court.
Siam did not lost anything,Preah Vihea was build by Khmers and owned by khmers since the beginning.Siam try to steal it from khmers,but khmers won't allows it to happen again ever...If we have to die to protect what our ancestor build for us, let be it,go town with it.
The Siem they are watching the behavior of the Youns at all time. Hun Sh*t government agrees to cede Cambodian villages along the border to the Youns for no reasons, and the Siems they want a piece of Cambodian land as well. Soon the Vietnamese-dominated Laos will do the same to the Cambodian remaining territory. Hun Sh*t needs to grow some spines and say NO to the Youns and Siem and the Liev.
The court will rule this year or early next year. Cambodia will win. The court just wanted to give the Siam thief a chance to save face by backing out on it own.
We had solid evident border treaties between France colonial and Siam King, UN still considered these son of a whore of a thousand father important to UN because Siam provided a lot of donation to UN body to help out refugees. So you see why the ICJ keep delay the ruling so the Siam can back out on their own.
Agreed
NO MATTER WHO WANT TO STEAL KHMER LAND IF THE LEADER IS STRONG AND SMART THEY CAN'T TAKE ANYTHING.NOT WITH THIS GOVERMENT THO.
Good point agreed 100% this is hun die-nasty...4-millions years to come....Khmer known history of land ceding by King jaijatha ll and now Hun die-nasty in 21st century....
RGC is not a true Khmer's government. It is a Mafia Government back up by Youn' s forces.
Parliamentries are all scare to do their jobs.
No one in their right mind as true Khmer blood would ceded Khmer's land to foreigners. Gentlemen we are independent ONLY on paper. The world doesn't know of Viets plans. Even some of the powerful countries knew, they could careless. They were looking out for their country greed. You know which countries I am talking about. I hope one day this present government wake up from their greed and freed themselves from the Viets.
You got a good point darling, you are smart lets joint all khmers file lawsuit to stop this gov't from ceding khmers land to our enemy once and for all.I am with you....will you?
