Cambodia 'has no clout' over '62 Preah Vihear court order [But Thailand has no right to invade Cambodian territory either]


Writer: Thanida Tansubhapol 
Bangkok Post 
26 June 2012 

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.

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.

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.

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.
